However, the Vatican says that the letter signed by Msgr. Peter Wells, assessor to the Secretariat of State, is not an indication of papal support.

Strains credulity.

Regarding Msgr. Wells:

"...He was named Assessor on 16 July 2009 when Gabriele Giordano Caccia was named as Apostolic Nuncio to Lebanon the same day. Speaking about his work as assessor of general affairs, he said his department is "like a chief of staff office for the pope," dealing with things like security issues and communications. The department's job is to help Pope Francis and his representatives "have the ability to act freely in the world" and not be "impeded in their ministry," especially in reaching out to the most marginalized, he said[3]

Cables revealed as part of the Wikileaks scandal show how much diplomats rely on Wells for readings of the Vatican's take on sensitive issues, such as the church's sexual abuse scandals. Other players know the score, too. In 2010, when parishioners in Boston wanted to appeal the closing of nine local parishes, they consulted a couple of canon lawyers about the best way to get the pope's attention, and the reply was to address the petition to Wells.[4]

Pope Francis by chirograph named Monsignor Wells secretary of the five member Pontifical Commission responsible for investigating the Institute for the Works of Religion.[5] Cardinal Farina, S.D.B., is president of the commission and Cardinal Tauran is a member, Bishop Juan Ignacio Arrieta Ochoa de Chinchetru, serves as the coordinator while Professor Mary Ann Glendon is the final member. He is at the same time the president of Financial Security Committee."

I think you just won the freeper drama queen award,
for calling the pope an “evil sneak” based on a generic form letter response to a gift *that he didn’t even write or send himself*

Check out what else they are up to. Is this the Pope Francis version of "Common Core"?

Just to briefly summarize what we are witness to:

Francis establishes the Foundation Scholas Occurrentes in 2013. The main driving force behind the Foundation initiative is Archbishop Marcelo “I hate Tea Parties” Sanchez Sorondo. This Foundation establishes a network of schools. This foundation is behind the publication of a series of children’s book that promote Gender Ideology. The Gender Ideology is promoted with images of Francis. The Vatican “washes its hands in innocence”, i.e. claims it doesn’t know anything about this situation. Yet the Vatican does nothing to stop it. Proof is that in the mean time, the publisher is continuing negotiations to publish these same Gender Ideology promoting books with Francis’ image with entities for translating and distribution into other countries and languages.

Once again, it is not a generic form letter. And it’s not just that particular letter that’s evil and sneaky.

This same evil sneak calls up an adulterous woman in an illicit sexual relationship and tells her to sneak to another Catholic church, where she is not known, so she can sacrilegiously receive Holy Communion.

He meets with two lesbians (one them “transmutilated”), engaged to be married, and wishes them well on their merry way to damnation.

He chose, the heretic, Kardinal Kasper, to preach the heresy of “Mercy to Unrepentant Adulterers”. He ordered articles condoning homos and adultery, that were voted down by the quorum in his SinNod, to be published anyway.

The chairman of the same SinNod ordered the theft of books emailed to each SinNod participant. This same character will again chair Francis’ SinNod II.

He is a despotic, evil sneak.

Next week, I may tell you how I really feel about Francis, Bishop of Rome.

“books emailed” = “books mailed” i.e. postal theft.

Wondered what the Catholic sites would say. Sounds like they think he’s the AntiChrist, too.

Why did it say “in the service of young generations”? Are they telling that lesbian to write more kids’ propaganda/books?

Why did the Vatican say the letter was supposed to be kept private?

Your explanation is quite lucid, and looks at the facts of this particular incident. One gets a similar letter if one sends some lamentable book as a “gift” to the Queen.

Can you provide a link to this quote? I believe that forum rules would require this.

There was a thread that claims that this is untrue. I just can’t find it at the present.

“reportedly”

Didn’t he “reportedly” also say the false quote attributed to him on this thread?
