Just when I thought I had heard it all.
"And I have no right to expel anyone from the Church. Not only that, my duty is always to welcome. The Church cannot close the door to anyone. To no one.”
I was about to object to the statement that he has no right to expel anyone from the Church, but then it occurred to me that he's technically correct, since he's a non-pope and a non-bishop. Of course, given the premise that he believes, that he's the actual pope, what an outrageous statement, more or less a denial of the dogmatic teaching of Vatican I.
As for not closing the door to anyone, I guess he made an exception in locking Traditional Catholics out of their churches, preventing them from offering the Tridentine Mass.
Jorge praises and encourages pretty much every "form of religious expression," participating in pagan rites, but then makes a notable exception for Traditional Catholics expressing themselves. Voodoo rituals? No problem. Tridentine Mass? Forget about it.
