Dear John Fitzgerald 486,
The reason why I did not dismiss all Vatican officials who are against my policies is simple. If I had done so there was a high risk of me ending up as John Paul I ended up: conveniently dead, and rumors say he wanted to reform the Church. Such tactics are alive and well; did you read about what happened in August 2015 to the pedophile Archbishop Josef Wesolowski, former Apostolic Nuncio to the Dominican Republic, just before his criminal trial started? Also conveniently dead so that he could say nothing bad about Church officials. You have to understand that I was elected as window dressing; the real boss is the Curia. By the way, they are now telling me that I need to have a nap, and I have no choice, I have to do what they say. Anyway, always remember to pray, pay, and obey, particularly the second one.
Sincerely in Christ,
Pope Francis, aka The Last Pope
