Beyond the Manipulated Interview: Francis' Unanswered Questions
George Weigel, biographer and admirer of John Paul II [who made Bergoglio and McCarrick cardinals on the same day] and neoconservative warmonger, published a list of questions (CatholicWorldReport.com, 20 May) that Ms O'Donnell ("60 Minutes") should have asked Francis in her recent softball interview. Examples.
- Do you ever break bread with those with whom you might disagree, or seek input from outside your bubble?
- You say the ordination of women is not possible, while Cardinal Hollerich says these are "open questions" to be discussed at Synod-2024. Have you reprimanded Cardinal Hollerich?
- Have you ever thought of correcting the idea that Catholic teaching on morality and ecclesiology is not a matter of politics but of revealed truth?
- Why was Father Rupnik never punished for his fornication with nuns?
- Do you think anyone is interested in a Church that is unsure of what it should believe?
- Why have you deposed bishops without due canonical process?
- Why have you hurt those who attend the Roman Mass?
- Have you seen the widely circulated meme of you blessing a bicycle and saying, "I am not blessing a bicycle, I am blessing two separate wheels"?
- Are there moral norms for which there are no "exceptions", as John Paul II taught?
- If casuistry is an acceptable method of moral reasoning, how does it apply to murder, rape, torture, child abuse, mutilation, slavery, racism and genocide?
- Vocations to the priesthood have declined in many countries during your pontificate. Do you think this has anything to do with your regular criticism of priests and seminarians?
