The widely read Italian publication Panorama has carried an interview with a Vatican employee identified by the false initials “GF”, complaining that working in the Vatican today has become “an act of pain.” The source said the Pope was dangerously fickle and had surrounded himself with Spanish-speaking favorites with progressive agendas. “You can’t move up unless you’re a friend of one of the two lobbies that count: either the ‘gay lobby,’ which is extensive and very powerful, or the ‘Santa Marta Club’ around the Pope,” GF said.
