Francis: European Union On Christmas "Like In National-Socialist Dictatorship"

We cannot condemn Paris Archbishop Aupetit, Francis said at the December 6 presser during his flight from Athens to Rome.

On Thursday, Francis accepted Aupetit's resignation following reports of an “ambiguous” relationship with a woman. Now he asked, “What did Aupetit do that was so bad in order to give his resignation? Answer me.”

Francis commented that he didn't accepted Aupetit’s resignation “on the altar of truth, but on the altar of hypocrisy,” adding that “If we do not know, we cannot condemn. Who knows? Ugly, no?”

There was a violation of the sixth commandment yet “not totally,” he said, explaining that the accusations were about “small caresses and massages.” Francis added that "this is a sin, but it’s not among the most serious, isn't it?” and that the scandal destroyed Aupetit’s reputation, “He will no longer be able to govern.”

Francis further said that he will receive an official invitation from the Russian-Orthodox for a second meeting with Patriarch Kirill. Their first encounter was in Havana, Cuba, in 2016.

He then called a recent EU document trying to cancel Christmas and to impose more homosex ideology “anachronistic,” saying that “in history many, many dictatorships, have tried to do this; think of Napoleon, think of the Nazi dictatorship, the communist dictatorship - it's a fashion of a watered-down secularism.”

Further, Francis repeated the myth that the March 22, 2016 suicide bomb attacks in Brussels, Belgium, were prepared by "children of ghettoised migrants, not integrated." In reality, one of them went to a Catholic High School, another appeared in a Swedish documentary on the successful integration of migrants into society.
