Gloria TV reports that "Catholic journalist Antonio Socci criticized Pope Francis for his cold reception of the husband and daughter of Asia Bibi. Bibi is a Catholic mother condemned to death in Pakistan for allegedly having insulted Islam. Her husband and daughter were introduced to the Pope in Spanish during a general audience, but Francis quickly passed on. The desperate family had asked for a private audience with the Pope, but was refused. Quote Socci: “Is this the shepherd who wants to smell like the sheep?”
I have blogged previously on Asia Bibi and the seemingly outright refusal of the Pope or the Holy See's bureaucracy to become involved with her.
It is clear in this video that her husband and daughter were simply passed over.
The smell of the sheep, indeed!
