Photo of being escorted to court – blurred?

In the photo of Schrank being escorted to court, has his face been deliberately blurred? (If it has, I assume the blurring would have been already there in the source.) TooManyFingers (talk) 01:04, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"... the Roman parish is not independent from Rome"

Schrank is quoted on religious matters in the "Background" section, and he says, in part, "... the Roman parish is not independent from Rome ...". The Wikipedia editor has linked this to an article on papal resistance to being governed by the (at the time) newly unified state of Italy, which indeed was an ongoing issue in Schrank's time. However, it seems to me from the context of Schrank's remarks that he would not be fervently seeking to free the Pope from the influence of the new Italian government; it sounds far more like he wants the Vatican to relinquish its authority over local parishes, thus making each "Roman parish" (i.e. every parish of the Roman Catholic Church) "independent from Rome".

I'm not sure where Schrank's comment should be linked, but I'm fairly confident that protesting the secular government of central Italy is not it. TooManyFingers (talk) 22:53, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
