Bergy Interview Click Here

La Repubblica's founder, Eugenio Scalfari : I am grateful for this question. The answer is this: I believe in Being, that is in the tissue from which forms, bodies arise.

Bergy : "And I believe in God, not in a Catholic God, there is no Catholic God, there is God and I believe in Jesus Christ, his incarnation. Jesus is my teacher and my pastor, but God, the Father, Abba, is the light and the Creator. This is my Being. Do you think we are very far apart?"

If he was misquoted before in other interviews as some people claim, then why would he keep calling these same people to grant them interviews? There's no clear mention of the divinity of Christ, nor the Trinity, nor the Holy Ghost. By their deeds you shall know them.

Quote from: the pope

Bergy : "And I believe in God, not in a Catholic God, there is no Catholic God, there is God and I believe in Jesus Christ, his incarnation. Jesus is my teacher and my pastor, but God, the Father, Abba, is the light and the Creator. This is my Being. Do you think we are very far apart?" . . . . . . . ."Each of us has a vision of good and of evil. We have to encourage people to move towards what they think is Good."

Not to worry, just another case of invincible ignorance playing out in real time.

Fr. Cekada's tweet this morning made me laugh ugly:

Summary of Francis' latest interview:
Francis: "There is no Catholic God."
God: "There is no Catholic Pope!"

People have been making excuses for decades. I remember the early days of JP2 where people claimed he was "a prisoner in the Vatican" and made to do things against his will.

People will believe what they want to believe.

Fact is all Popes are culpable for their actions and inactions. And for anyone to claim ignorance on their behalf is just insane. Even if the journalist did lie, the Pope would have a duty to very publicly correct his statements bearing in mind the scandal he would cause if he did not.

If he does not correct them, one can assume he meant it.
