Francis' words during the press conferences on his return from his apostolic journeys cause often much discussion. This is what also happened on the return flight from Cyprus and Greece.
The media focused on his words after accepting the resignation of the Archbishop of Paris Michel Aupetit, accused of too casual behaviour towards a woman. The archbishop had assured that he had never gone beyond behaviour that was perhaps not appropriate, but not of a carnal nature.
When asked why he had accepted the resignation, the Pope replied:
"Carry out your own investigation. Because there is a danger of saying: ‘He has been condemned.’ But who condemned him? Public opinion, the chatter. But what did he do? 'We don't know. Something'. If you know why, say so. I, on the contrary, cannot answer. You will not know because it was a lack on his part, a lack against the sixth commandment, but not a total lack but little caresses and massages. This is the charge.
This is sin, but it is not of the gravest …More

Sorry but the half perceived theory of sin is bonkers. If the sins of the flesh are not the most serious isn't priestly paedophilia not so grave then? Didn’t Our Lady tell the Fatima children that a majority of souls go to hell because of sins of the flesh? Bergoglio playing the usual games of ambiguity and confusion.

“You have heard that it was said to them of old: Thou shalt not commit adultery. But I say to you, that whosoever shall look on a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart. And if thy right eye scandalize thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee. For it is expedient for thee that one of thy members should perish, rather than thy whole body be cast into hell. …More

Pride and hatred are among the most serious sins, the pope said, and then describes in detail the sins of all of us, starting with Peter and ending with Archbishop Aupetit.
On the altar of hypocrisy there seems to be a lot of room, also for the rumors that the pope himself continues to nourish. How truthful is the behavior of a pope who denounces hypocrisy, but who himself does not seem to be …More
Pride and hatred are among the most serious sins, the pope said, and then describes in detail the sins of all of us, starting with Peter and ending with Archbishop Aupetit.
On the altar of hypocrisy there seems to be a lot of room, also for the rumors that the pope himself continues to nourish. How truthful is the behavior of a pope who denounces hypocrisy, but who himself does not seem to be embarrassed to publicly describe an archbishop caressing and massaging his secretary (insider knowledge of the pope?), without taking into account the bishop himself, but also not the listener, who does not even want to imagine such scenes and should now be glad that it did not come to sex, according to the motto "Everything is not so bad"?
Jesus must have exaggerated in the Sermon on the Mount when he said that you should cut off your right hand and throw it away if it tempts you to evil.
