The book did not appear on the official list of Fernández’s publications that spread the Vaticanwhen Pope Francis appointed him to head the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. However, the current Cardinal said in an interview with the Spanish news agency EFE that the Pontiff knew of the existence of the book.
