As the new dicastery will join the task of the altarpiece of the pope, an institution that exists since the year 1200and the Obolo of San Pedro, Francisco will put his Robin Hood, the 55-year-old Polish cardinal Konrad Krajewski.

Krajewski, already very popular in Rome, gained international fame last Sunday when, in a large building occupied by 450 people, including 98 children, he rescued people from darkness who had been without light or water for more than a year. week. other basic services and entering the main culvert of the "palace" have used his past as a young electrician to reconnect the electric current.

The gesture has received many praise and criticism from those who accuse the "Robin Hood of the Pope" of have violated the laws. The Italian church and several Vatican cardinals have defended Don Corrado, as the people call him. Several jurists also said that he had acted inspired by "the state of necessity".

The strong man of the Italian populist regime, the far right Matteo Salviniwho cultivates the friendship of traditionalist figures of the Church, such as Cardinal Raymond Burke, who conspire to overthrow the Argentine pontiff, said the Polish cardinal "must pay him the ticket of light", which accumulates a debt of 300 thousand euros that people are not able to pay.

Salvini's gesture prompted the press to delve deeper into the case of the public building occupied by the fascists of Casa Pound, a group defended by Salvini that does not allow his friends to be expelled. They discovered that those of Casa Pound They must also, and do not pay, 300 thousand euros to the ACEA electricity company.

The Pope was accused of protecting Cardinal Krajewski with this appointment, but the creation of the Vatican Superdicastery of Charity was under preparation. administer many financial resources. In addition, the Polish Cardinal, who was a simple Monsignor when Jorge Bergoglio made his official ceremonial in 2013, shortly after being elected pontiff, is the candidate responsible for leading the new "ministry".

The secretary of state, Cardinal Piero Parolin, told Salvini that the Church "helps Italians and all citizens". He reported that they were paid three and a half million euros of water and light ballots in Rome to help poor people. The church will probably pay 300,000 euros for the unpaid bill of light in the Roman building in which Krajewski restored the electrical connection. There are groups of lay Catholics who ask for solidarity help.

The African cardinal Peter Turkson, prefect of the Dicastery of Integral Human Development, came to publicly defend Cardinal Krajewski. Turkson said that "they also said that Jesus had broken the law."

The Assisi brothers, the "city of peace" of San Francisco, have also stated that "if it is illegal to help the children and the poor who are suffering, stop us all." In other sectors of the Church, priests and lay people are mobilizing to intensify the increasingly urgent social badistance in an Italy where the number of poor people in need is growing. Recoveries are also made to process unpaid bills. The municipality of Rome is available to help, even if it is sailing in great economic difficulties.

There is a photo of Krajewski while he was not yet cardinal on a motorcycle in which he travels around Rome (also with a very worn car), while the Pope welcomes him. of the hand near the house of Santa Marta. where the pontiff lives.

The Polish Robin Hood is one of the two youngest cardinals of the Church. When he named him beggar Pope, Francisco told him: "the office is not going to serve you, go out on the street to help people".

Don Corrado meets. Every day he leaves in a van to distribute blankets, food and everything he can to help the homeless teeming in the city. Since Francisco was made pope, I change my view around the Vatican. Many sleep at night around San Pedro. Krajewski left his home for a family of Syrian refugees and lives modestly in the Vatican.
