Francis Suddenly Calls His Favorite Insult Pharisee A Negative Stereotype
Pope Francis says one thing today, and the opposite tomorrow. After having insulted Catholics and others countless times as "Pharisees," he suddenly experienced a conversion.
During a May 9 audience for the Pontifical Biblical Institute and participants of a Conference about Pharisees, including Jews, Francis complained that the "history of interpretation" has fostered a "negative image of the Pharisees," often "without a concrete basis in the Gospel accounts.
He even called the negative use of the word "Pharisee" an ancient and most damaging stereotype," implicitly pronouncing judgement over himself and his uncharitable insults.
In the Gospels, Jesus Christ frequently engages in heavy polemics against the Pharisees who are among his most dangerous enemies, among them Saulus who later converted and became Saint Paul (Acts 26,5).

His knowledge of the Gospels is rudimentary. There were good Pharisee and not so good ones. Just like there are good Catholic priests and not so good ones. It’s the not so good ones that Francis seems to protect the most.

There were good Pharisee and not so good ones. Just like there are good Catholic priests and not so good ones. As there have been some good, saintly popes and some bad popes.

If I could not see his robes, and I had not a clue who he was, if I could only see his face in the posted photo—I would say avoid him, walk wide—he looks evil.

I figured Catholic or Christian would be his favorite insult.

>>I figured Catholic or Christian would be his favorite insult.<<
You could be right; from his Little Book of Insults:
“Ideological Christians!”
“Rigid Christians!”
“Liquid Christian!”
“Superficial Christians!”
“Long-faced, mournful funeral Christian!”
“Sad Christian!”
“Pickled pepper-faced Christian!”
“Christians allergic to preaching!”
“Pagan Christian!”
“Defeated Christian!”
“Creed-reciting, parrot Christian!”
“Watered-down faith, weak-hoped Christian!”
“Pastry-Shop Christians!”
“Delectable, but not real Christians
“Anesthetised Christian!”
“Christian hypocrites only interested in their formalities!”
“Sloth-diseased, acedic Christians”
“Selfish Christans, out for themselves!
Christians who do not leave space for the grace of God!”
“Christians with all the paperwork, all the certificates, in order!
“Christian bats who prefer the shadows to the light!
“Starched Christians!”
“Christians who are too polite!
“Christians who speak of theology calmly over tea!”
There are many more, but I’m going to bed now.

At the same time, their are stereotypes about the Pharisees in the gospel. Unfortunately, stereotypes have been stereotyped. At least some stereotype are useful intellectual shorthand.
There is truth in sayings like “99% of all politicians give the other 1% a bad name.”
Groups have general characteristics, and while it is important to get to know individuals with whom we work closely, and to treat everyone with an appropriate amount of charity, since the time of the Assumption everyone on earth is fallen and has weaknesses. Weaknesses vary, and one needs to be aware of potential weakness, not go around pretending that everyone has been immaculately conceived.
Mercy may involve working with people’s weaknesses. The pharisees, on the whole, were hypocrites, and their culture tended towards hypocrisy.

Pope Francis FORGETS that Jesus met one such Pharisee at night which became the origin of the greatest verse in the NT: JOHN 3:16.

My Bible study group, which is lead by a friend of who is a permanent deacon, and looking at doing the Gospel of John and the chapter that produces John 3:16,the man that talks to Jesus at night, was he not a Pharisee of the Sanhandren or the ancient Jewish Temple leadership.

Yes, but that he comes secretly says a great deal about the general attitude of the folks with whom he hangs.

And it would not surprise if that meeting took place during that very first Holy Week.
