Editor’s Note: The Vatican is mum about why the Cardinal disappeared. It was clearly not merely a “childish prank” as he is describing it. It appears more like what Canon Law would deal with in a case regarding immediate dismissal from the clerical state, such as attempting marriage. — But as he retains clerical state, one wonders what is going on in Panama. Pope John Paul II made this man a Bishop, and Pope Francis, during his antipapacy, made him a cardinal.
