Fr. Antonio Spadaro, the “Jesuit’s Jesuit,” is a trusted adviser of Pope Francis and Editor in Chief of the semi-official Vatican newspaper Civiltà Cattolica. Hence it is significant that he tweeted yesterday about the controversial proposal of Cardinal Sarah that priests turn around this coming Advent and face liturgical east, as was common before the Second Vatican Council. One suspects that his position is also that of Pope Francis. The significance of these tweets, then, is not so much their content as what they probably saying about the prevailing opinion in Pope Francis’s closest circle.

Here are the tweets.
