I remember being confused as to why the apostolate Courage was not fully embraced by all in the Church.
Why all Bishops didn’t have a chapter in their diocese.
I am no longer confused bc by their fruits, you will know them.
Back in 2017, Francis appointed James Martin SJ to be Consultor to the Vatican’s Dicastry for Communications. Since then, Francis has met Martin in private audiences. So yes, obviously Francis knows perfectly well who Martin is and what he supports— and he approves.
