    They'd have burned the Vatican down with him in it.

    Misguided self preservation ( or Superior Ideology ) overrides Empathy.

    I'm not sure the pope's secretary would keep such explosive contents from the pontiff. Taken in conjunction with the following passage from the same article:

    ... it would appear that if the pope was ignorant of the mass murders occurring, it was willful ignorance.

    Plausible deniability never loses it's persuasion.
