    Does Rotary fall under the Masonry excommunication censor?


    The Church did condemn Rotary in the 1920s.

    Please ignore ALL of my posts. I was naive during my time posting on this forum and didn’t know any better. I retract and deeply regret any and all uncharitable or erroneous statements I ever made here.

    I came across a reported interview with Msgr. Borgoglio prior to his election as pope. It's included in Damien Thompson's column in the Telegraph, and is rather lengthy.  It may be a frabrication, as Thompson is almost persuaded.  If it's not, then I think we need to sit back and let Pope Francis' papapcy begin to flower before passing absolute judgment upon him.  This interview could have been placed under a new topic, but I doubt that many forum members will take much interest in it, so I just include it here for a bit of added color and detail.

    That "interview" was cooked by a tone-deaf neo-con ( is there any other kind? ) commiting agitprop.  

    Total fake.

    The quote provided before didn't condemn Rotary membership, but labeled it undesirable.  Do you have a source that condemns it?  Just curious, in my mind this issue is simply 'icing' (or not) on a cake that is already built and stands on it's own due to Bergoglio's public sins against the faith.

    "Be kind; do not seek the malicious satisfaction of having discovered an additional enemy to the Church... And, above all, be scrupulously truthful. To all, friends and foes alike, give that serious attention which does not misrepresent any opinion, does not distort any statement, does not mutilate any quotation. We need not fear to serve the cause of Christ less efficiently by putting on His spirit". (Vermeersch, 1913).

    I think, as far as I'm concerned anyway, that you'll have to provide a bit of solid evidence for your claims that it is a "fake."  It may well be, but not because you say it is.

    'Course not.  Even if I had any, arguing from authority is still a crap shoot.

    Anyway, if you read the alleged Bergoglio quotes, the idioms used are not at all similar to anything I've watched him use on TV or in print.

    Annnnndddd... since so much of the "initial take" by the media has come from later-discredited "sources", odds favor anything as false to the very grammar of the man as this - in my pontifically humble opinion - to be discreditable, as well.

    Better?
