There's an interesting essay in La Stampa (Vatican Insider), where Alver Metalli expands the analysis to include all America, especially Latin America: "“Existe una tendencia fundamentalista muy peligrosa en estos tiempos en que se usa la religión como instrumento de violencia”. También en América Latina." (There is a very dangerousfundamentalist tendency in our times, in which religion is used as an instrument of violence. Even in Latin America.)
It seems that Francis is hunting bigger game....
