From the Pope's sermon today:

"They the corruption of rigidity in their hearts". They felt pure because they observed "the letter of the law". "The law says you must do this and this". "But these were not saints, they were corrupt, corrupt because that type of rigidity can only move forward in a double life, and those who condemned these women then went to look for them behind, in secret, to have some fun '. The rigid are - to use the word that Jesus gave them - hypocrites: they lead a double life. Those who judge, let us think about the Church - all three women are allegorical figures of the Church - those who judge the Church rigidly have double life. With such rigidness you cannot breathe".

It appears he talks about his "mercy" fixation every other day.

I suppose he was including Susanna there? But the young Daniel didn’t show much mercy to the old lechers.
