Perhaps Pope Francis didn't have any idea what this organization was doing.  He doesn't know everyone and everything.  (See the Kimmie Davis fiasco.)  And my personal opinion of Steve Bannon is the same opinion that the ADL and other Jewish organizations - that he is an anti-Jewish bigot.  I am not sure why any Catholic organization that purports to be faithful to the Catholic Church and supports the Vatican's commitment to interfaith dialogue would proudly tout their connection to Steve Bannon given how much it upsets Jewish organizations.
