It was a very strange week for Vatican communications.
The week after the Paris Olympics’ opening ceremonies ought to have been comparatively easy for Vatican communications to handle. When there is a global denunciation of anti-Christian blasphemy, it ought to be simple for the Vatican to add its voice.
But instead, the Holy Father kept silent for eight days, and only released a tepid statement on a Saturday evening in the most understated manner possible. It was decidedly little and very late.
While the brief statement said that the Holy See “cannot but join the voices raised in recent days to deplore the offense,” it had spent the week proving that it could do just that. It was only when voices from outside the Catholic world spoke out that the Holy Father decided to speak himself.
What happened?
In January 2015, Islamist terrorists killed 12 people in the Paris offices of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, claiming to avenge cartoons that depicted offensive images of Muhammad. Pope Francis addressed the matter in an airborne press conference.
“You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith,” Pope Francis said. Those who make such provocations “can expect a punch.”
The remarks were widely debated at the time, as they seemed to show some sympathy for the terrorists’ motivations, while condemning their actions.

Because the pope had the hots for one of the perverts in the show
Pope uh dope liked it?
The Vatican has increasingly been infiltrated by the Jesuits, with Francis being the first “official” Black Pope to sit on the Chair of St. Peter.
Jesuits are philosophical descendants of the Sabbatean Frankists, who certainly harbor no real love for Jesus the Christ.
Ping
If the devil was able to get his hold on any authority in the clergy of our world, it seems reasonable to think it happened centuries ago and with great deception.

“What took the Vatican so long to respond?”
The smoke of Satan.
Yeah it took more than a week and released late after hours. If they could have gotten away with no comment they would have. There are no coincidences. Just more evidence the Vatican is run by a homo mafia.
I think the closing ceremonies are going to be more of the same.
“You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith,” Pope Francis said. Those who make such provocations “can expect a punch.”
Why are the thuggish and violent ALWAYS excused by the hard Left? Hey Mister Pope, please list the insults to Christianity that deserve a punch back? Thank you.
Had to wait for the secular world to respond, excuse and deflect first of course!
