THE HEAVY SILENCE OF BERGOGLIO
by Sandro Magister
The heavy SILENCE of BERGOGLIO: not a word for the Nigerian abducted schoolgirls, nor for Asia Bibi in Pakistan sentenced to death on charges of having insulted islam who wrote to Bergoglio but he has never responded. Bergoglio in compensation ranges from evangelicals to “offer the apologies of the Catholic Church for the damage that has caused hampering the growth of their communities”.
“I’m weeks behind the scenes Bergoglio cultivates relationships with the heads of the powerful evangelical community” of the United States. In the Santa Marta residence has spent hours and hours in their company. Invited them to lunch. In one such convivial moments became immortalized by beating the “five” to open Palms between big laughs with the pastor James Robinson, one of the most successful American televangelisti.

When nobody knew anything, it was Francis to anticipate them its about to go find Caserta their colleague Italian and to explain the reason: “to the Catholic Church’s apology for the harm he has caused them hindering the growth of their communities”.
Has not spent a single word when the young sudanese mother was Meriam in prison with little boys, sentenced to death only because Christian, receiving it though once freed thanks to international pressure.
He didn’t say anything – apart from a bird tweet – for hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram, despite the worldwide campaign initiated by Michelle Obama with the slogan: “Bring back our girls”.
Is silent on the fate of Asia Bibi, the Pakistani mother jailed for five years, pending the appeal against the ruling that sentenced to death on charges of having insulted islam.

Yet the campaign for the release of Asia Bibi sees everywhere busy the Catholic World and she was published earlier this year a heartfelt letter to the Pope. That has not responded to her. “
They are silences that are all the more striking in that they are practiced by a pope who is known for his highly generous availability to write, to telephone, to bring aid, to open the doors to anyone who knocks, whether poor or rich, good or bad.
For example, he had been criticized for being slow to meet with victims of sexual abuse committed by members of the clergy. But last July 7 he made up for this, spending an entire day with six victims brought to Rome from three European countries.
During those same days he took steps forward in the reorganization of the Vatican’s finances, with changes in leadership and the dismissal of the blameless president of the IOR, the German Ernst von Freyberg.
Inexplicably, in sixteen months of pontificate von Freyberg had never been able to obtain an audience with the pope.

But even more inexplicable is the “damnatio” that struck his predecessor Ettore Gotti Tedeschi, driven out in May of 2012 precisely for having pushed forward the work of housecleaning, and by none other than the main culprits of the misconduct.
His requests to Pope Francis to be received and listened to have never received a response.
