Athens: Francis Projects His Present Sins on Popes of the Past

During a December 4 Athens meeting with Greek-Orthodox representatives, Francis accused his predecessors of having contributed to division with the Orthodox.

A whining Francis acknowledged "actions and decisions that had little or nothing to do with Jesus and the Gospel but were instead marked by a thirst for advantage and power, gravely weakened our communion.”

Fittingly, he spoke in the we form (Pluralis majestatis) which the popes use instead of the "I," claiming that “we let fruitfulness be compromised by division.” This is precisely what Francis is doing with Traditionis Custodes.

Therefore he felt a need “to ask anew for the forgiveness of God and of our brothers and sisters for the mistakes committed by many Catholics [= Francis included].”

In condoning crimes against the faith that occur under his personal responsibility, Francis, by contrast, uses the mantra "Thou shalt not judge."
