Sitting On His Throne of Moses, Francis Closes Synod

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has wrapped up a monthlong meeting of bishops dedicated to young people by saying the Catholic Church is being "persecuted" and "dirtied" by accusations — an apparent reference to the clergy sex abuse and cover-up scandal.

Francis acknowledged Saturday that there were sinners in the church. But he insisted that the church itself is holy and must be protected from attacks and "another type of persecution: continuous accusations to dirty the church."

 

Remnant Comment:  Who is Francis accusing this time?  Why is he accusing others of doing terrible things but refusing to name them, to give them a chance to defend themselves? Why can he not be more merciful to those he’s accusing?  Does he not know that only the merciful are like God the Father?

Why is this pope accusing others before God?  Does he not know that Satan is the ‘Great Accuser’, and that when the Pope enters into this logic of accusing others, of seeking to do evil to others, he himself enters into the logic of the ‘Great Accuser’ who is the ‘Destroyer,’ who does not know the word mercy, and who has never lived it?

Leave them alone, Francis!  Stop being so judgmental. Stop being so rigid as you sit there on your chair of Moses, judging with superiority and superficiality difficult cases and wounded people.  Stop throwing your stones. You are behaving like the great accuser and the "little ones" all over the world are scandalized.
