Pope Francis has put forward his greatest act of vengeance against John Paul II: the appointment of TuchoFernandez as Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith prefect. Fernandez has criticized John Paul II’s landmark encyclical Veritatis Splendor, which affirmed the existence of intrinsic evil and the Church’s authoritative rejection of moral relativism. Fernandez, an author best-known for his grotesque collection of erotic poetry, “Heal Me With Your Mouth: The Art of Kissing,” as well as grotesquely mishandling sex abuse cases as an Archbishop, stands poised to overturn the Church’s established teachings– most especially those of John Paul II.
John Paul II did not purge dissenters from ecclesial institutions, preferring instead to encourage dynamic new centers of orthodoxy within the Church. Those institutions and initiatives succeeded for nearly four decades in preserving the Church from succumbing completely to the ravages of modernity. But Francis and his allies, on the outs for decades, have returned to destroy them– using not persuasion but the exercise of raw institutional power. For now at least, “the hermeneutic of continuity has proved to be incapable of countering ecclesiastic Jacobinism, which has no interpretative line of theological documents, but a project to gain power through men and facts.” The backroom political maneuvers of the Peronist Pope have succeeded in devastating John Paul II’s legacy within the Church.
