I want to address once again the disgraceful words of the Pope whilst on his way back from Africa, for they are so deeply upsetting. Never have we heard a Pope speak so ill of the Catholic faithful. Sadly, it is not the first time that his words have been cruel and vicious.
Forced to defend himself and the good name of LifeSiteNews being accused of using a "faulty translation" or not putting the Pope's words "in context" John-Henry Westen is one step ahead, as usual. Visiting this link will take you to the Pope's words with the Vatican's official translation and words translated by LifeSiteNews not put in the "official" translation but clearly said by the Pope. He seems agitated in the video.
To you in the Vatican whomever you all are, because I know you come here and some days multiple times. Do you hate the Pope that you do not bring to him these concerns so that he will continue to disgrace himself and the Church? Do you not want him to know how he hurts people and secretly hope he will not change? Is it totally out of control that there is nothing you can do? Are you as disturbed by the words of this man as us?
Will no bishop or cardinal there have the courage to tell him to his face what he is doing? At what point do we, the faithful, demand to the bishops and cardinals that they intervene directly and decisively? I suspect it will come soon, with his apostolic exhortation on the recent Synod. Expect the worst, he has already hinted at it. Bishops and Cardinal be forewarned. if you fail to act, you will be judged by God and man and held accountable in history and eternity.
Let us look again at what he said:
"Fundamentalism is a sickness that is in all religions. We Catholics have some -- and not some, many -- who believe in the absolute truth and go ahead dirtying the other with calumny, with disinformation, and doing evil. They do evil. I say this because it is my church."
Does he mean that some who believe in "absolute truth" are sinners and sometimes calumniate? I'll give him that, we're all sinners and notwithstanding the fact we believe, we sin.
Is he questioning whether or not there is "absolute truth?"
If a Muslim is a fundamentalist he cuts off peoples heads and blows up marketplaces. If a Catholic is a fundamentalist, she prays the rosary and wears a scapular, goes to Mass at least once a week and Confession frequently.
What is Pope Francis trying to say?
We can only shake our heads and pray for him; but I tell you, I thought it was bad enough to invite a follower of the pervert, thief, warlord and liar Mahomet in to the Vatican gardens to pray to his false god, but to bow down and pray to the Kabaa is beyond an abomination. I would not want to be him after praying to the Kabaa by facing Mecca; nor would I want to be anywhere near him. God will not be mocked.
There is "absolute truth" and his name is Jesus Christ, for He said:
"I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life, no one comes to the Father, except by Me."
Sounds pretty absolute to me.
