The Vatican denies.
So why does Bergoglio continue to grant the atheist Scalfari audiences/interviews, if he is so misrepresented?
And why has Bergoglio, himself, never denied Scalfari’s allegations? Lombardi, a Jesuit, has been shown caught in his lies before.
And why was Scalfari’s first interview posted, with Bergoglio’s approval, on the the Vetican’s official website twice and twice removed?
No, this is not a denial. This is what the Vatican does every time this Pope finds his foot in his mouth. They issue a non-denial denial. “Well he may not have been quoted accurately. People should not assume this is true... blah blah blah.” If the man didn’t say it, the Vatican press office would have just come out and said so point blank.
