The ban on denigrating Pope Francis is now open.

Three cover articles, three, dedicated He World to try to smear the legacy of Pope Francis. Not bad at all, considering that the protagonist is still in our physical body in St. Peter's Basilica. "The Vatican's finances: ruin and opacity, Francis's great failure," reads one headline. "The idolatry of Bergoglio as a revolutionary is hypocritical and ridiculous," says another, based on an interview with the furious anti-Peronist Loris Zanatta. In the piece, the historian lambasts the deceased, accusing him of being a populist opposed to the Enlightenment and, above all, tremendously arrogant due to a humility of form that he accuses of being mere facade. To complete this portrait of an impostor, a third article, now by former Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta, reveals a curious anecdote: the photo of the Pope boarding the plane, carrying a briefcase himself—which became iconic—was staged. That is to say, the staff had already loaded the gadget, and Francis insisted at the foot of the stairs that he wouldn't move until they took it away. The columnist has nothing but good things to say about him, and asserts that there was substance behind this self-control, but the whole picture paints a picture of Bergoglio as something between vain and deceitful.

It's okay that The World denounce the hypocrisy that often lies behind the powerful's speeches about poverty, of course. On another note, on the same cover, a photograph shows Álvaro Pombo accompanied by the King and Queen of Spain. Felipe and Letizia seem to listen with genuine and heartfelt attention.
