On 17 July, Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, Archbishop of Vienna, Austria – one of the pope’s preferred theologians and his designated interpreter of Amoris Laetitia – gave an interview to the Austrian newspaper Der Standard. For the first time since the many recent signs of a serious resistance against the papal document Amoris Laetitia – such as the letter of the 45 theologians and the very recent critique of Professor Josef Seifert – Schönborn himself suggests a small, but largely indirect, response from Pope Francis to his public critics.
Many observers have indeed wondered why the pope has not yet taken it upon himself to much more directly and publicly respond to these morally earnest and charitable oppositions to his text Amoris Laetitia – with, perhaps, the exception of the pope’s somewhat surprising comments in a July 2016 interview that he does not like to “behead” his opponents.
On 29 July, Global Pulse Magazine published an article about that 17 July interview with Cardinal Schönborn, after having translated the major sections of the original interview.

Offer the other cheek as they slit your throat Francis.
Pope Francis is more concerned about his own ideology than he is about the welfare of his flock.
Does this Pope have any principles?
Didn’t you read my post?? ;-)
Who?
Francis is trying hard to win a few new converts of uncertain faith in anything to replace the many he is inducing to leave for Orthodoxy or for SPX and its offshoots.
He has Principles but they appear to be fantasy principles that do not coincide well with orthodox Christian Principles.
Justifying theb lunacy of this Jesuit marxist
As long as there are Catholics, there will be “fierce and organized opposition” to Bergoglio.
