Francis Bergoglio should lead the pack

My imagination runs wild on this one. Bergoglio has a screaming fit, demanding that someone take a fall for him, absolving him of all responsibility. He wants to come out of this an innocent victim of a cabal which has been plotting to mislead him and keep him in the dark.
But - Surprise!!! - these men will not comply... The man is so forceful, so rotten, so hideous, they fear God will not forgive them, should they bow to his will... And none is in it alone. There are 33 (am I correct?) others.

Your move, Jorge.

Wonder how many cases were put on the back burner in Argentina on his watch.

I hope this isn't a PR stunt intended upon taking the focus of the media away from his own involvement. It may well be that he will not accept any of these resignations (being an all-merciful employer) but hand out lenient penances while proffering condolences to the victims. If he really meant what he said about being part of the problem he should indeed stand down, as that problem extends way back to when he was in charge in Buenos Aires. There are still bad memories of his time there, maybe enough to make him stay put in Rome which will now be difficult for him as the word Hypocrite will be added to the many he already has acquired - heretic, apostate, slanderer, usurper,Marxist, betrayer of Chinese Catholics, sodomy supporter....
The Sankt Gallen Mafia no doubt have someone in the wings flexing their muscles to take over & the silent Cardinals will, of course, be happy to oblige. Maybe ++Eijk's example of removing the table in front of the altar in his personal chapel will give an injection of hope, especially if he orders they be removed from all parishes in his Diocese. We can only hope & pray for an urgent breakthrough.
