"Pentin told EWTN on Thursday: “I do understand, from sources within [the Pope’s residence] Santa Marta, that the Pope is not happy at all. That he’s quite at his … boiling with rage.”
Fr Antonio Spadaro, an associate of the Pope, has dismissed these reports." *
I'll give Fr Spadaro the benefit of the doubt over those who hide behind the cloak of anonymity to spread trouble making gossip.

: “Boiling with rage” is not an attitude one
: expects of a Pope when addressing the
: educated concerns of a group of Princes of
: the Church. Assuming this report to be true,
: and I think NCR would have checked their
: source on this one, rage, as a conclusion to
: the much-vaunted Year of Mercy, is not the
: emotion one would expect as the product of
: the working of the Holy Spirit.

: But equally importantly, the Pope
: characterizes as “legalism” the endeavours
: of the four Cardinals to clarify the wording
: of a document that has caused widespread
: confusion among the Faithful, and given an
: immense cache of ammunition to the enemies
: of the Church. As the Crisis Magazine
: article PDH has quoted points out, (as if it
: were really possible to forget, or not
: notice), the Church has always had enemies,
: has them now, and will have them ‘til the
: end of time. It has been, in order to combat
: the Church’s enemies, the practice of the
: Church to express its doctrines in legal
: terms. What else is Canon Law for? What else
: have all the Councils in the Church been
: for? Why else has the Church’s doctrine been
: so carefully enshrined in Heinrich
: Denzinger’s Enchiridion Symbolorum :
: Compendium of Creeds, Definitions, and
: Declarations on Matters of Faith and Morals
: ? To now characterize as “legalism” the
: sincere efforts of the Cardinals to relate
: the Popes loosely expressed words in Amoris
: Laetitia to the legal structure of the
: Church’s doctrine is very disappointing, and
: allows the continuance of the confusion that
: the Church has experienced from the start of
: this Pontificate.

: VATICAN CITY, November 18, 2016
: (LifeSiteNews)
: – Pope Francis is "boiling with
: rage" over formal criticism of Amoris
: Laetitia from four cardinals, according to a
: Vatican insider.
:
: The National Catholic Register's Edward
: Pentin told EWTN's The World Over Live that
: "sources within Santa Marta" say
: "that the Pope is not happy at
: all" and is "boiling with
: rage."
:
: "I do understand from sources within
: Santa Marta that the pope is not happy at
: all," said Pentin. "In fact,
: he's...boiling with rage. He's really not
: happy at all with this."
:
: The pope's rage is reportedly over a dubia,
: or formal request, from four cardinals that
: he clarify whether his controversial
: exhortation is at odds with Catholic moral
: teaching. Pope Francis didn't respond for
: two months, so the cardinals went public
: with their concern.
:
: Now, in a new interview with Avvenire, Pope
: Francis is rebuking the "legalism"
: of Amoris Laetitia critics.
