Pope Francis has accepted the resignation of the Grand Master of the
Order of Malta with whom he had been in conflict for more than a month.
This marks a new chapter in the opposition to the Argentine pontiff.
By obtaining the resignation on Wednesday of the Grand Master of the Sovereign Order of Malta, Pope Francis has made an important point to those who call into question the deep reforms he is undertaking in the Vatican and the Church. Not that Brother Matthew Festing is a personal enemy of the pope, but the conflict between Francis and the Knights of Malta represents the sum of all the opposition he is encountering in his will to reform.
