My comment: There is no need to read the rest, because that is all there is about the Bloomberg report. The rest is background, which we are all familiar.
Note: " 'I said that, "I'm really worried not about you, Your Holiness, but about the people around you," ' Zen said. 'I said, "The things your collaborators are doing" -- and I used a really bad Italian word, macchinando [plotting] -- "will have tragic and long-lasting effects, not only for the Church in China, but for the whole Church." ' " (brackets original)
(a) Italian-English dictionary:
* macchinando: "gerund of macchinare" https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/macchinando
(b) Both Italian verb macchinare and English verb machinate are descendants of Latin verb "machinari [to plot], from [Latin noun feminine] machina machine, contrivance."
