TEXT OF LETTER OF POPE FRANCIS I

.

.

The Supreme Pontiff Francis I on the chair of the Bishop of Rome

Often holiness, or no holiness, when studying the heroic virtues of a candidate for beatification is hidden in small things; I think I can say with some’ of modest experience, since I work on the causes of the saints. It is in fact behind the little things, seemingly insignificant, hiding the greater good, namely the sanctity, or the great evil, ie the Demon.

.

During Holy Week which it preceded a few days before the Easter Sunday, Chronicles from the Holy Gospels have heard the story of Peter's denial [cf. MC 14, 66-72], and we have heard resound the dramatic sentence: «And all the disciples, They left him and fled " [cf. Mt 26, 56].

.

The Blessed Apostle Peter He was also to escape a second time, in one's old age, this time in Rome, there it tells the wonderful story known as the Quo vadis? This episode, contained in Acts of Peter, He tells of the Blessed Apostle on the escape road from Rome, in an attempt to escape the persecutions of Nero. On the way of escape, He would meet in a vision the Lord Christ. According to this tale Peter asked Jesus the question: «Dominated, quo vadis ?» ["Man, where are you going?»]. The Lord Jesus answered: «I go to Rome to be crucified, » ["I come to Rome to crucify me again ']. At that point Peter realized that he could not run again, but he had to turn back, to face martyrdom.

.

For several centuries, the Popes They had among their various clothing of shoes red vermilion, the significance of which was deep and precise, with all due respect to certain illiterate de The Republic who wrote triumphantly: "The successor of Benedict XVI also waives the Prada shoes» (!?).

.

Prada … Are we joking? Or as is wont to say better: possible that the ignorance of those who presume to know do not have their own limits, men who never sense of human decency!

.

Those shoes redheads, which then he was actually closed the slippers, They accounted for Peter's martyrdom, retreating on the road Quo vadis, He went to his martyrdom, dragged in chains to the Vatican Hill where he arrived with bleeding feet, to finally be crucified. E, come to the gallows, not feeling worthy to rise to execution in the same position of the Word of God who died and rose, He asked to be crucified upside down. Like this, at the end of his life, heroism that led him to accept the grace of martyrdom, also it joins the supreme virtue of humility.

.

From the seemingly small things is therefore also recognizes the Pope Francis I, who has publicly admitted that he had wrong in assessing the painful cases of pedophilia that have rocked the Catholic Church in Chile, until reaching to assert :

.

"As far as I'm concerned, I acknowledge, and I want you to send him faithfully, who have committed serious errors of judgment and perception of the situation, in particular for lack of truthful and balanced information. As of now I apologize to everyone I hurt and I hope I can do personally, in the next weeks, in the meetings I will have with representatives of the interviewees' [please read the full text of the letter, WHO]

.

From the history of the Church one should take everything, not only what matters to exalt man Jorge Mario Bergoglio, or to bring down the man Jorge Mario Bergoglio in a merciless way. Therefore I wonder and wonder: certain particularly careful historians, but also rightly critical of this pontificate which deserves its fair share of criticism, perhaps they intend to present Urbi et Orbi also the detailed list of the Supreme Pontiffs who have publicly admitted having committed a serious error? Because to want to be honest and realistic, should be told how many faithful servants which, although totally innocent were sacrificed so that would fall upon them the king's faults, that as the King can do no wrong, May! And the list of these innocents sacrificed the public pillory, it would be a long list what the Autostrada del Sole, on the contrary, instead, King of the list in error, exists?

.

For instance: the Holy Pontiff John Paul II has repeatedly admitted that “the Church was wrong”, He also asked several times sorry, even when certain apology was not necessary and appropriate. That being said I wonder and wonder: perhaps it appears to someone that he, in twenty-six long years of pontificate, has publicly stated only once, for example concerning the shameful case of the founder of the Legionaries of Christ: «… I made serious errors in assessing and perceiving the situation, in particular due to the lack of truthful and balanced information "? I am not aware of it. But, to the records, it turns out that he claimed that the Church was wrong, asking for forgiveness for his mistakes too, both when it was appropriate and when it was not appropriate. But now pay attention: the Church was wrong, but he was not wrong, because not only the King is never wrong, but if he is really wrong, then someone else's head is sacrificed in order to blame poor third parties, the shame and anger of the people. And pay attention to the fact that we are talking about saints, who blessing God are and remain models of heroic virtue, despite never having been, nor can they ever be, models of perfection.

.

I invite you to meditate on this letter from the Supreme Pontiff Francis, who has done something great with it, especially if we consider that to induce a Jesuit and an Argentine to admit that they were wrong, it is certainly not the simplest thing in the world. All the more reason I tell you: in many other things the Supreme Pontiff may have been induced by third parties, or by real criminals who surround him and try to circumvent him, to throw themselves into unhappy and wrong expressions, but nobody, to a Jesuit and an Argentine, it can convince him to publicly admit that he was wrong. Therefore, this laudable act of humility, it is all the choice of the Supreme Pontiff Francis I, to be ascribed as such to his total honor and merit.

.

This makes him, for the case in question, a great authentic; much greater in this than many of his Supreme Predecessors, also included Blessed and Holy Pontiffs, who recognized all historical errors before the world, real or presumed, of the visible Church, however, they never admitted their own mistakes in any way; and when they have made serious mistakes, sometimes even coarse, they have always let the blame fall on the innocent, and today they are venerated Blessed and Saints. And, they asked forgiveness for true or alleged errors committed by the visible Church centuries earlier, But, while under their eyes an immense havoc was done to numerous human lives of young people, many of which destined to remain marked for life - again in reference to the unprecedented discourse of the Legionaries of Christ -, their silence and their indifference was total, up to verging on real cynicism. When then in their beatification and canonization processes serious and pertinent questions were raised about certain of their errors, the requesting answers were often silenced and the speech closed with the peremptory sentence: «The Supreme Pontiff was deceived!». The problem, Unfortunately, however, it has not been resolved, why to be, this statement should have been followed by very detailed explanations: by whom he was deceived, When, how and for what purposes. E, said this, perhaps it is good not to go further, because when the emotionality and the ephemeral sentimentality of the present moment and of the "Saint immediately!They will have gone out, the story will risk being very severe with certain figures, rather … terribly severe, and at that point, it will not be possible to put a patch on it in any way, because it was put there first.

.

Amen!
