PopeWatch: Peronism

 

The story is told that Perón, in his days of glory, once proposed to induct a nephew in the mysteries of politics. He first brought the young man with him when he received a deputation of communists; after hearing their views, he told them, “You’re quite right.” The next day he received a deputation of fascists and replied again to their arguments, “You’re quite right.” Then he asked his nephew what he thought and the young man said, “You’ve spoken with two groups with diametrically opposite opinions and you told them both that you agreed with them. This is completely unacceptable.” Perón replied, “You’re quite right too.”

You can’t give what you don’t have.

Clarity, sincerity and truthfulness seems to be absent from the pontiff… but maybe I got it all wrong since I’m a straight, conservative, Latin Mass enthusiast who is convinced that our prayers for Himself will help save his soul.

Arrogant?

Realistic is more like it.

This is classic Pope Francis talking out of his behind. Forgive me God.

Quotes are from PF;

The barring of people who present homosexual tendencies was first stipulated by the Catholic church in 2005.

“It can happen that at the time perhaps they didn’t exhibit [that tendency], but later on it comes out,” Francis said.

“In consecrated and priestly life, there’s no room for that kind of affection. Therefore, the church recommends that people with that kind of ingrained tendency should not be accepted into the ministry or consecrated life.

“The ministry or the consecrated life is not his place.”

And “we’re* labeled as problematic Catholics?
