Are you a terrorist? A gossiper, rumor monger, according to the Pope is a terrorist;

It is more fun criticizing


We have internet and emails as correct channel to communicate.  However gossip is more powerful than blog;   FB has made the gossip vine even stronger.  We are surprised that some male professional (and even licensed at that) are good in this sport.  They fail utterly as professionals;  (you cant be good in everything)   May the good Lord bless them

It is even far worse to do this to people who are no longer around us.  We can do something more constructive and productive

UN has accused Vatican of policy that allowed systematic abuse of children

It is more fun criticizing

 

From BBC news | February 5, 2014

From the Telegraph - UN demands that priests who abuse children be removed and turned over to the police   |  February 5, 2014

The United Nations has accused the Roman Catholic Church of adopting policies that allowed priest to systematically abuse thousands of children (both boys and girls.)  While the hierarchy of Roman Catholic church as promised to address this problem, many think that the Church response has been inadequate, hence the criticism.

The priest abuse of children were rarely reported prior to 1970;  more frequent reports were made since the 80s.

In 2013, the Vatican allowed a group to be questioned by UN, but did not provide data later re the abuses.

Isnt the church a hypocrite over the vows of chastity.  We know about most priests having lovers (men and women) but abusing children, as pedophiles is too much.

Can Pope Francis lessen this church black eye.? His predecessor, Pope Benedict was accused of cover up of a priest accused of child abuse.

Is this happening in the Philippines

Pope Francis stumbles

Social and political criticisms

From Epoch Times by Alex Johnston | March 15, 2013 

The Pope was seen in video and photo as having stumbled as he said the mass for the cardinals.  The Pope was elected last Wednesday as the first Pope from the Americas, and first Jesuit Pope.

The Pope was accused as having done nothing while the cardinal of Argentina, during the dirty war, to stop military abuses. Rev. Federico Lombardi, spokesman for the Vatican defended the Pope saying that no charges has been made vs the Pope before and he did so much for his people during those times. Lombardi said that these are leftist anti clerical accusations which must be rejected decisively.

Is the Pope stumbling early?

First Jesuit 76 Year Old from Argentina Elected New Pope just 2 days after Start of Conclave

Social and political criticisms

From BBC News March 14, 2013 

Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, a 76 old Argentinian was elected new Pope Francis in just 2 days after start of conclave.  People hoped that the new Pope would be younger or an American (from USA?)  well he is an American.  He is the first Jesuit to be elected Pope.

It was remarked as the fastest ever election of a Pope.  There was time when it took the Pope 2 years to elect the Pope in a conclave. (The election Pope Gregory from November 1268 to September 1, 1271 after death of Pope Clement 1V). 

This was due to political infighting of the cardinals.  3 of the 21 cardinals who elected the Pope died in the process and 1 resigned.  To hasten the election, the roof of Palace of Viterbo was reported to have been removed and rations reduced to water and bread.

He is the 266th pope of the Roman Catholic Church.

He requested the crowd to pray for him so that he will be blessed as the new Pope.  The new pope comes from Latin America, home to more than 40% of the world's Catholics.  70% of the 115 Cardinals in attendance to the conclave. He was elected in the 5th balloting

There was no clear choice as to who would be Pope two days ago.  He is seen as doctrinal conservative but is seen as potent force in reforming the Vatican.

Lignet remarks that the conservatism of the new Pope would counter growing leftism in Latin America.

The new Pope's name came from St. Francis  de Asissi who is humble and loves animals. He is son of middle income immigrant from Italy.

He came close to being elected as the Pope in 2005 when Pope Benedict (Joseph Ratzinger) was elected.

The new Pope, very well known for humility was reported  to take bus in going to work
