Curia Cardinal Gives Example of We-Follow-the-Leader Ideology
Ouellet is a neoconservative for whom Faith consists in following the current leader whatever he believes. Cynically, he invites young clergy to look at Francis “as an example” [for what?].
When Benedict XVI appointed him Prefect of the Bishops Congregation he was "more attentive to the doctrinal dimension" of the job, Ouellet admits.
But then came Francis and an opportunistic Ouellet quickly learned “the accompaniment dimension" and “that it's not enough to tell people what they have to do" [as if Benedict – in contrast to Francis - had ever done this].
"We have to always teach the truth, but at the same time, to be attentive, to be compassionate and merciful; that's what I've learned with Francis" – he said showing that for him truth and mercy are opposites.
