The psychological projection and gaslighting continue from Bergoglio. If you read the below you will find he makes a comparison between blessings. "No one is scandalized if I bless an entrepreneur who exploits people, while it happens if he is a homosexual. It's hypocrisy."
Does he think we are stupid?
If a priest blessed the entrepreneur he does not assume that the man exploits people or makes lousy products. He gives a blessing. If an individual man or woman attracted to the same sex comes for a blessing, they receive a blessing. If they come as a couple, that is a completely different thing.
He thinks we are stupid. We are not.
But we know what he is.
Pope Francis: "No one is scandalized if I bless an entrepreneur who exploits people, while it happens if he is a homosexual. It's hypocrisy" - La Stampa
VATICAN
CITY. He speaks of priests, the style they should avoid and the attitude they
should have: "We clerics sometimes live in comfort. We need to see the
work and the suffering of the people." And he expresses himself on
openness towards gay people: "No one is scandalized if I bless an
entrepreneur who exploits people, while it happens if he is a homosexual. It's
hypocrisy." It is a confident and open-hearted Pope Francis that emerges
in an in-depth interview given exclusively, for the first time, to the weekly
Credere - the periodical of the San Paolo Publishing Group - in the issue on
newsstands from tomorrow. Answering the questions of the newspaper's
editor-in-chief, Fr. Vincenzo Vitale, the Bishop of Rome retraces the years of
his pontificate between personal confidences and highly topical issues, from
the blessing of homosexual people, to the Jubilee, to the involvement of young
people. In this regard, he emphasizes: "There are pastoral experiences
that speak to simple people (...) There are also 'sophisticated' realities that
do not arrive, movements that are a bit 'exquisite' and that tend to form an
'ecclesiola', of people who feel superior," the Pontiff lashed out.
The
interview also focuses on the role of women in the Church: "Opening up
work in the Curia to women is important. In the Roman Curia there are now
several women and there will be more, because they do better than us men in
certain positions. The governor, for example, Sister Raffaella Petrini, is
doing beautiful things. Even the women who are in the dicastery to elect
bishops... These are all places that need women. There is an ongoing process in
this. There are several secretaries, think of Sister Alessandra Smerilli at the
Dicastery for Integral Human Development, others at the Dicastery for
Evangelization, of Religious..."
The
Pope then reassures about his state of health: "The Church is governed
with the head, not with the legs."
The
response to the controversy that arose after the "Trust Supplicans"
declaration was also clear: "No one is scandalized if I give my blessing
to an entrepreneur who perhaps exploits people: and this is a very serious sin.
While he is scandalized if I give it to a homosexual.... This is hypocrisy! The
heart of the document is welcoming." Francis adds: "But I don't bless
a 'homosexual marriage', I bless two people who love each other and I also ask
them to pray for me. Always in confessions, when these situations arise,
homosexual people, remarried people, I always pray and bless. The blessing is
not to be denied to anyone. Everybody, everybody, everybody. Be careful, I'm
talking about people: those who are capable of receiving Baptism."
The
Pontiff desires a Church that is more capable of being close to people:
"People give me joy! When I'm with people, I'm happy. When I'm with the
administration, yes I do what I have to do, but when I'm with the people, it's
something else... I would like to be able to go on the street freely, but it is
not possible. I've done it a few times, to go to the optician or to go buy
records, but secretly. I learn from people! When you find a father of a family
with a monthly income at the limit, who comes to confession and tells you that
when he comes home he is tired and cannot be with his children because they are
already asleep and in the morning he gets up before they wake up; And then he
confesses to you that his pleasure, on Sundays, is playing with his children...
That's where you learn! People suffer so much... We clerics sometimes live in
comfort... You have to see the work, the suffering of the people..."
He
recounts two episodes that he carries in his heart: "One here in Rome, one
in Argentina. At a hearing two years ago, a lady beckoned me to come over and
called me, I went. An elderly peasant woman was 87 years old, but she didn't
show them. I asked her what she ate to stay like this: ravioli, she replied,
ravioli that she made... And he gave me the recipe for ravioli. I asked her to
pray for me. He assured me that he would, but told me to be careful. So I asked
her if she prayed for me or against me. And he said: "No, Your Holiness,
you are not mistaken, they pray against you in there." The wisdom, the
courage of the elderly! The other episode was in a slum in Buenos Aires, where
I went to celebrate Mass. During the trip, it became known that John Paul II
had died. With the simple people of the slums they talked about the election of
the new Pope. An elderly woman asked me if I could become Pope. Yes, I told
her. So he gave me a piece of advice: to buy me a little dog. I asked her why.
"Before eating, give the dog food and wait a bit..."
More
than ten years after the foundation of the newspaper, born on the occasion of
the election of Pope Francis in 2013, Credere wishes to continue to tell the
story of the faith, privileging the choice of proposing and motivating good
news. The weekly - distributed throughout Italy with 60,000 copies and 200,000
readers - has chosen to remain firmly in paper format in order to continue to
be a tool to be used during the week, as is already the case, in the family, in
schools, in groups, in movements and in ecclesial associations.
