Letter to new head of DDF
A priest, whose name I am withholding from this publication, has written this letter to the new man in the DDF. I am very grateful to him.
Dear Cardinal Fernandez:
I am a retired priest…… First, I’d like to congratulate you on your new assignment and on your elevation to the cardinalate. I’m of the opinion that Pope Francis only picks the best. So, I have the highest regard for you at the outset and trust that you will make a lasting contribution to the Church.
