The Warped Catechism of Jorge Bergoglio

His interviews with Eugenio Scalfari belong on the “Index of Forbidden Books.”

A measure of this pontificate’s farcical dysfunction is that its leading chronicler is Eugenio Scalfari, a doddering apostate, atheist, and communist to whom Jorge Bergoglio routinely confides his heretical thoughts. Scalfari is the pope’s favorite interviewer, a veritable Boswell to Bergoglio’s Samuel Johnson. The pope is so fond of their exchanges that he had the Vatican publishing house issue an early batch of their interviews as a book. 

In one of those interviews, the pope told Scalfari, an ex-Catholic, that he had no interest in persuading him to return to the faith, and that atheists like him should just follow their own sense of right and wrong. The pope called much of what passes for Catholic evangelization “solemn nonsense” and praised the “autonomy” of conscience.

We have learned much more about the pope’s real thoughts from Scalfari than from Bergoglio’s brown-nosing biographers, who feel the need to protect him from himself by explaining what he “really meant.” In the Scalfari interviews, we get the modernist pope in full, a religious relativist who finds the next life far less interesting than this one.

Is “warped catechism” a fancy way of saying “heresy”?

Life of Johnson! Slowww-ly I turned...

I've got that book. 1400 mercilessly unabridged pages, yet most of them more interesting than anything regarding Francis I.

South America's revenge for the Conquistadors and the current acme of Liberation Theology! Has anyone checked on Saint Ignatius of Loyola and at what RPM he is spinning?

[Mrs. Don-o]

Why, yes. Yes, it is.

Is the present pope Catholic?
