Mauro Inzoli, 67, was initially defrocked in 2012 after he was first accused of abusing minors, but Francis reversed that decision in 2014, ordering the priest to stay away from children and retire to "a life of prayer and humble discretion." On June 28, the priest's diocese of Crema in northern Italy released a statement saying the pope had made a "definitive ruling" that Inzoli, also known as Don Mauro, should be dismissed from clerical duties.

In an interview that lasted more than an hour with Spanish newspaper El Pais and conducted just as Donald Trump was being sworn in as the 45th U.S. president on Friday, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church warned against the rise of populist leaders like Adolf Hitler.
"Hitler didn't steal the power, his people voted for him, and then he destroyed his people," Pope Francis noted. The pope explained to the paper that he worries about the rise of populism in the United States and Europe.
"In times of crisis, we lack judgment, and that is a constant reference for me," he said. "The case of Germany is classic," he continued, adding that Hitler gave them a "deformed identity and we know what it produced."
"After the crisis of 1930, Germany is broken, it needs to get up, to find its identity, a leader, someone capable of restoring its character, and there is a young man named Adolf Hitler who said 'I can do it.'"
Pope Francis declined, however, to take his trolling to the next level and directly link Trump to Hitler. "We will see how he acts, what he does, and then I will have an opinion," he said.
