Pope Francis was "furious"
about how Rome Mayor Ignazio Marino tried to "crash" his party
in Philadelphia on his US trip last week, a senior cleric was
tricked into saying by a fake Premier Matteo Renzi on a
satirical radio show.
"Yes, of course, Marino crashed it. He tried it on. He
tried to exploit this situation, and that enrages the Number
One....The mayor is a decent person. But no one invited him. The
pope was furious", Msgr Vincenzo Paglia, head of the Pontifical
Council for the Family, told the bogus Renzi on La Zanzara (The
Mosquito) Tuesday.
Marino has faced widespread criticism for flying to
Philadelphia to attend the World Meeting of Families without
being invited by Pope Francis.
