Francis told Scalfari that “Jesus is not God.”
Now Ruffini siad: “There has already been a clear denial from the Director of the Press Office, Dr. Bruni. However, I would like to reiterate that the Holy Father never said what Scalfari wrote he said.
Therefore, both the quoted remarks, and the free reconstruction and interpretation by Dr Scalfari of the colloquies - which go back to more than two years ago - cannot be considered a faithful account of what was said by the Pope and what, on the contrary, can be found about Jesus throughout his and the Church's magisterium: true God and true man.”

It is difficult to believe the Vatican, as this is not the first scandal Francis produced while talking to Scalfari and this has not stopped Francis to continue his relation with the anti-Church …More

But does Bergoglio believe that Jesus is the Son of God? Why don't you say about that?

Even if Francis denies on camera to have said the phrase to Scalfari. Why should we believe him this time?

1 John 2:22 New International Version (NIV)
22 Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son.

Time after time Pope Francis returns to Scalfari and the Vatican Press Office tells us he makes things up. We also know that the Vatican Press Office makes things up. Do we know that Scalfari makes things up. He is an "expierienced" journalist.

A THEY DID WHEN SCALFARI SAID BERGOGLIO TOLD HIM HELL WAS EMPTY. IF BERGOGLIO DOESNOT PUBLICALLY DENY SCALFARI AS A LIER IT IS PART OF HIS GAME.

Some words from Pius XII to Francis

Francis, tell us, what did you say. Did you use different words?
HerzMariae

Eva
How can Ruffini know? Has Francis told him? Why not mention that?
