Leo XIV Solves a Frozen Windshield in the Andes: "Someone Has to Urinate"
On 5 August, journalist Christopher Hale published a bizarre but pragmatic anecdote from a new biography of Leo XIV, written by Renzo Gómez Vega, on his Substack.com account.
In 1998, Father Robert Prevost was driving a combi van full of seminarians through the remote Peruvian highlands, en route to a priestly ordination.
They ascended into the Andes and the van's windscreen iced over. Stranded on a freezing roadside, he suggested an unconventional solution.
He said that "someone has to urinate on the windshield".
One seminarian stepped forward and did exactly that. The warm urine melted the ice just enough to clear their view, and they continued their journey.
Prevost maliciously collaborates with the secular press to ridicule the papacy and the priesthood Prevost follows the same modus operandi as Bergoglio, who maliciously used the secular press to provoke scandals, desecrate the papacy, and spread his anti-Catholic doctrine. Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori, warning about the gravity of the sin of priests, pointed out that all sins of priests are sins of malice, and that the sin of malice are sins of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. «Amongst laymenfrivolous languageis only frivolity:but it is blasphemy when it comes from the mouth of a priest. […] Thy lips have been consecrated to the Gospel of Christ. Therefore it is unlawful for thee now to use them for jesting, and a sacrilege to have them thus habitually employed. ‘The lips of the priest,’ says the Prophet, ‘shall keep knowledge, and they shall seek the law at his mouth’ (Mal 2:7). Observe that it is not jests or fables but the law of God that is to be sought from the mouth of a priest. With regard to scurrility, it is not enough to banish that from thy mouth: it must also be banished from thine ear. To allow thyself to laugh at such jokes would be a scandal; but it would be a greater scandal to repeat them for the amusement of others.(Saint Bernard. Treatise on Consideration to Pope Eugene III, Ch. XIII, 68-69)
El Mundo reported on March 26, 2013, that Maria Elena Bergoglio also revealed in an interview with the Italian magazine Chi that he had sworn since childhood. "I remember there was a parrot in the seminary, and I don't rule out that (Jorge Bergoglio) taught him some swear words instead of teaching him how to pray."
