The Dehonian Editions of Bologna, Italy, recently published a book that was immediately met with criticism and scandal, particularly within the Vatican Curia. Jesuit Antonio Spadaro, Undersecretary at the Dicastery for Culture and Education, is the author of the book Da Francesco a Leone (“From Francis to Leo”). As the title clearly suggests, the aim of the book is to demonstrate complete continuity in governance between Bergoglio and Prevost.
There is a strong unease among the accelerationist revolutionaries who still wander the Roman palaces: they are determined to prove at all costs that Leo XIV is fully continuing the agenda initiated by Francis. Spadaro, in particular, is aligned with those hardline Bergoglians who, during the last conclave, persisted to the very end in order to prevent Prevost from ascending to the See of Peter. Among them are Jesuit Jean-Claude Hollerich and the 'people’s theologian' Víctor Manuel Fernandez.
The book's subtitle reads: 'With an unpublished interview with Cardinal Francis R. Prevost.' Yet, the interview in question is actually a transcription of a public conversation the former Prefect for Bishops gave nearly a year ago, on August 7, 2024, at the Augustinian parish of St. Jude Church in New Lenox, Illinois. The questions were written and proposed by Father Ray Flores, not by Father Spadaro. Nico Spuntoni, writing in La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana, even points out that, according to social media, the Jesuit was in Sicily at the time—not in the USA. Both the Jesuit and the publishing house quickly took steps to contain the fallout, yet the book's cover remains quite explicit.
Beyond the editorial mishap, this event is highly revealing of the meaning hidden behind it. The Dehonian Editions are the publishing house of the Bologna School—that is, the neo-modernist theological movement which, particularly in Italy, advocates for an interpretation of the Second Vatican Council that breaks sharply with Catholic Tradition. The fact that Spadaro published this book with that publishing house sends a clear message: Leo intends to carry on Francis's revolutionary work. But is that truly the case?
