WHO REALLY IS POPE FRANCIS?
9/27/2015
Which one of these is Pope Bergoglio: the voice of the oppressed, the poor, the marginalized or the voice of the oppressors?
In Cuba we witnessed a political, never pastoral, Pope Bergoglio becoming the voice of the oppressors. He ignored the cry for help of 11 million Cubans marginalized, oppressed, the poorest among the poor enslaved under a brutal Stalinist regime for over 56 years.
The Pope in Cuba called for “reconciliation” which in Francis’ Orwellian lexicon means not to create “lios” (not to revolt), as he told the youth in Brazil. Francis told the Cubans to accept to remain slaves, to forget their martyrs and forgive their torturers, to be patient, that thanks to his Faustian pact negotiated among Obama and the Cuban Stalinist regime very soon American taxpayers’ dollars will flow to the island prison alleviating their extreme misery and making easier to endure their lack of freedom and the regime’s continuous human rights violations.
In United States we saw a mostly pastoral Pope intertwined with his leftist political agenda. He gave his outmost priority to the hoax of global warming, but he did not address directly the holocaust of more than 55 million unborn babies in the U.S. by abortion, the most abominable of the crimes. Neither he denounced the genocide of Christians by Muslims in Africa and the Middle East.
In the United States, Francis made a very moving pastoral visit to prisoners; but in Cuba the Pope did not want to expose to the world the infra-human conditions in which the Cuban political prisoners live. For the Pope, the Cuban political prisoners did not deserve a word of hope.
Cuban political prisoners are not common criminal, they are patriots that have been incarcerated for demanding freedom and respect for the human rights of the Cuban people. As a token of gratitude towards the Pope, the regime freed 3,000 common criminals, but not a single political prisoner.
Furthermore, they incarcerated or put under house arrest all the dissident leaders during the visit of the Pope.
In the U.S. the Pope allowed a small girl to reach him at the pope mobile to deliver a message from the immigrants living illegally in U.S. In Cuba three times Cuban dissidents tried to give him a message before being pulled out from the by the regime agents; but Francis even denied that any dissident tried to reach him at the pope mobile even though it was captured by the television cameras.
Pope Francis opposed the death penalty in U.S.; but no in Cuba. In Cuba all that Francis said about the Cuban tragedy was that “they are a people which has its wounds, like every other people.” It was a slap in the face of all Cubans in and out of Cuba. Hundreds of thousands of Cubans have suffered torture and debase of their human dignity in Castro’s dungeons. Thousands were murdered by the infamous firing squads where many died shouting “Viva Cristo Rey” and Pope Bergoglio didn’t give a damn to honor our Martyrs.
More than 30,000 Cubans have drowned trying to escape from the hellish regime that the Pope admires as an example for the rest of Latin America.
Francis, an admirer of Che Guevara and Fidel, begged for a meeting with Fidel Castro which was described by the Vatican as very friendly and familiar. At the end of the meeting with Castro, the Pope expressed publicly his deep appreciation for Fidel Castro, a murderous tyrant who has committed the genocide of the Cuban people and who for 56 years has made a country that had the highest standard of living in Latin America in 1959 to the poorest and most oppressed in the history of this hemisphere.
Quite obsequious with the torturers of the Cuban people, the Pope did not accept to receive a representation of the pacific dissidents of the Stalinist regime who are the true voice of the enslaved Cuban people. “As Newsweek has observed, seventeen years ago in his homily in Havana, John Paul II mentioned “freedom” seventeen times and “justice” thirteen times. In his homily, Francis did not mention “freedom” or “justice” once.
The Cuban cardinal Jaime Ortega Alamino played to its fullness his role as lap dog of the Cuban regime.
The visit of Pope Francis to Cuba will be recorded as a big blot in the history of the Catholic Church in Cuba.
