John 10:1-5 –> key verse is number 5.
1 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.
He seems to think it’s his job to drive out everyone but the Buddy Jesus SJW’s and play Kumbaya with the pagans. If, that is, he actually thinks rather than simply reacting. Hard to say, really. Keep praying for him. His time may be short.
Well, at least his predilection to capitulation could explain his dealings with communist China in a better light. Honestly, this interpretation is more charitable than the one I previously held. I’d rather he be a coward than a sadist.
A post script: while the response of the UGCC was diplomatic (https://unn.ua/en/news/the-permanent-synod-of-the-ugcc-issued-a-statement-after-pope-francis-words-about-the-white-flag), my response would have been the submarine sailor one finger salute.
