In bureaucracies everywhere, when someone's interests are threatened
by a cycle of reform, one time-honored resistance strategy is to dig
up dirt on the reformers. We've already seen it under Pope Francis

future scandals. Now a bigger target seems to be in the sights of the
Italian news magazine l'Espresso, in the form of Australian Cardinal
George Pell, the secretary for the economy under Francis and
effectively the pope's finance czar...
