The many shades of the modernist Vatican…

2. “But in addition to the things that he says are those about which he is deliberately silent. It cannot be an accident that after 120 days of pontificate Pope Francis has not yet spoken the words abortion, euthanasia, homosexual marriage.”

4. EXCERPT FROM THE INTERVIEW CONDUCTED WITH A GROUP OF JOURNALISTS, DURING THE RETURN FLIGHT TO ROME, FROM WORLD YOUTH DAY IN BRAZIL– WHERE FRANCIS TRIES TO JUSTIFY WHY HE IS NOT TALKING ABOUT ABORTION, EUTHANASIA AND HOMOSEXUAL “MARRIAGE”:

JOURNALIST : Patricia Zorzan

Speaking on behalf of Brazilians. The society has changed, young people have changed, and we see many young people in Brazil. You have spoken to us about abortion, matrimony between persons of the same sex. In Brazil a law has been approved which extends the right of abortion and has allowed matrimony between persons of the same sex. Why didn’t you speak about this? [bold added for emphasis].

[Repeated in Italian]

Francis:

The Church has already expressed herself perfectly on this. It wasn’t necessary to go back to this, nor did I speak about fraud or lies or other things, on which the Church has a clear doctrine.

[Repeated in Italian]

Patricia Zorzan:

But it’s an issue that interests young people … [Repeated in Italian]

Francis:

Yes, but it wasn’t necessary to talk about that, but about positive things that open the way to youngsters, isn’t that so? Moreover, young people know perfectly well what the position of the Church is.

[Repeated in Italian]

Patricia Zorzan:

What is the position of Your Holiness, can you tell us?

[Repeated in Italian]

Francis:

That of the Church. I’m a child of the Church.

MY COMMENTARY:

WHAT A MISSED OPPORTUNITY! Imagine if “Pope” Francis would have delivered an impassioned speech or homily against abortion, euthanasia and homosexual “marriage” to the crowd of young people in Copacabana Beach. Imagine if he had asked this crowd to show their rejection of abortion, euthanasia and homosexual “marriage” to the President of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff.
