Francis Angry, "The Young Priests Buy Cassocks"
“It is enough to go to the ecclesiastical tailor shops in Rome to see the scandal (sic) of young priests trying on cassocks and hats, or albs and roquettes with lace,” Francis raged to the ex-synod on October 25.
Francis knows that the young priests in cassocks are the future while he belongs to the bygone 1960s. For Francis, "clericalism" is a "whip", a "scourge", a "form of worldliness" that defiles and damages the face of the Church. No one knows what he means by "clericalism".
Then, the dictator projected himself: “When clerics go beyond their ministry and mistreat the People of God, they disfigure the face of the Church with sexist and dictatorial attitudes.”
He enigmatically warned against his church becoming a “supermarket of salvation” where “priests are mere employees of a multinational.” This is the “great defeat to which clericalism is leading us.” What has "clericalism" to do with "employees of a multinational" or "supermarket of salvation"? What is a "supermarket of salvation"?
Even the pro-Francis IlSismografo.Blogspot.com is fed up with Francis' hypocrisy and asks the hard questions:
• Why did Francis allow Cardinal Semeraro to accept a €6,000 red cassock donated by a group of friends?
• Why has Francis never spoken about the scandal of the former Jesuit Marko Rupnik, who is guilty of far more serious and disturbing things?
• Why has he not spoken about the Deputy Secretary of State, Edgar Peña, who, shortly after his appointment, had his office and private residence in the Apostolic Palace converted with very expensive renovations?
