Pope Francis says he's 'scared of
rigid, fundamentalist' priests because 'they bite!!'
Lukewarm
and anti-Catholic clergy within, is to be feared because they lead many souls into HELL!! If
Bergoglio had any love for God and the faithful he would be more concerned
about weeding out the sodomite and pedophile priests!
Pope
Francis says that overly pious priests scare him, and he tries to stay clear of
them as much as possible!!
According
to Raw Story, the well-loved pope said on Friday during a
conference on training for the priesthood that he is instinctively suspicious
of priests who are hypocritical of their own religiousness.
"I
will tell you sincerely, I'm scared of rigid priests," the 78-year-old
pope jokingly said. "I keep away from them. They bite!"
Pope
Francis used humour to convey his message concerning a serious matter. A lot of
unstable individuals seek out a clerical career, he explained, and unless they are weeded out properly by the church,
the faithful will suffer.
This
is why the pope strongly suggests that seminaries should always assess not just
the spiritual state of candidates but also their physical and psychological
condition. "There are often young men who are psychologically unstable
without knowing it and who look for strong structures to support them. For some
it is the police or the army but for others it is the clergy," the pope
said.
He
warned that these disorders only manifest at a later date, so it will not be
easy to spot it from the get-go.
However,
the pope said he personally finds it worrisome when a priest takes pride in
being extremely devout.
"When
a youngster is too rigid, too fundamentalist, I don't feel confident (about
him). Behind it there is something he himself does not understand. Keep your eyes open!"
"If
you are sick, if you are neurotic, go and see a doctor, spiritual or
physical," Pope Francis then suggested to those who might be unfit to join the church. "The doctor will give you
pills. But, please, don't
let the faithful pay for neurotic priests."
