Dear John Fitzgerald 486,
Of course I will explain why I never changed the Pontifical Secret: because doing so would potentially open the door to countless criminal and civil prosecutions against enabling Bishops and Cardinals; but as no good Catholic wants that to happen then I will not change the Pontifical Secret. I am not afraid of offending Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI; actually we both agree on  most issues involving the handling of clergy pedophilia allegations including the need for Bishops and Cardinals to obey the Pontifical Secret in places where the Civil Law does not require Bishops and Cardinals to report clergy pedophilia to police. I am glad that the world accepts me as a sincere, gentle and holy person with a sincere heart; unfortunately I will die before having a chance to prove them right, and that's the way that my masters, that is the Curia, wants that to happen.
Sincerely in Christ,
Pope Francis
