Bergoglio calls a notorious Italian murderer after he wrote to the Pontiff asking for forgiveness!

    "Proselytism is solemn nonsense!" - Bergoglio

Bergoglio leading souls into hell...

Bergoglio obviously does not believe in the wrath of God only the Mercy of God. Otherwise he would be doing his duty as Christ's representative on earth and converting souls back to Christ and His Church and not leading sinners astray to their Eternal death!

Death Penalty Inappropriate “No Matter How Serious the Crime!” “All Christians and people of good will are thus called today to struggle not only for abolition of the death penalty, whether it be legal or illegal and in all its forms, but also to improve prison conditions, out of respect for the human dignity of persons deprived of their liberty.” – Bergoglio

Pope Francis-Bergoglio ‘calls murderer who asked for forgiveness!’

Bergoglio allegedly telephoned a murderer who wrote to him asking for forgiveness 25 years after he killed his parents.

Pietro Maso, now 45, beat his mother and father repeatedly with heavy kitchen saucepans and then suffocated them to death to collect his inheritance.

He spent 22 years in jail before he was released in 2013.

In the same year, Maso allegedly wrote to the Pontiff saying he was sorry for his crime.

“I wrote a letter to the Pope in which I asked forgiveness for what I did 25 years ago and that I was praying for peace,” Maso told Italian weekly magazine Chi. “After a few days the telephone rang.

“I was with Stefania, my girlfriend. I pick up and I hear: ‘It’s Francis, Pope Francis.’”

He told the magazine that following the phone call, he committed himself to “helping others” for the rest of his life.

The Vatican said it was unable to comment on private phone calls made by Pope Francis.

It would not be the first time the Pontiff has made unexpected phone calls to members of the public.

In 2013, a 19-year-old information technology student from near Padua in northern Italy received a phone call from Pope Francis after writing him a letter expressing hopes he would find a job at the end of his studies.

In fact it was the Pope’s second attempt to reach the young student after a first call went unanswered.

Two years later, the Pope telephoned a sick Italian man, who promptly hung up the phone thinking he was being pranked.

Maso murdered his parents in April 1991, when he was just 20 years old, with the help of three accomplices. It remains one of the most infamous domestic murders in recent Italian history.

Late court plea to spare US man in case watched by Bergoglio

Pope Francis, a death penalty opponent, is closely following the case, said Austrian Cardinal Christoph Schonborn at a press conference Monday.

With moral support from Pope Francis, attorneys for a man scheduled to be executed Wednesday in Texas presented to the US Supreme Court their case for an 11th-hour reprieve. Richard Masterson, 43, admitted that he strangled Darin Honeycutt, a transvestite.

On Friday, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles refused a request for a stay of execution. Masterson, who is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection, would be the second person executed in the United States in 2016.

Bergoglio Calls for Abolition of Death Penalty

Bishop of Rome: Don't proselytize, instead heal the sick and seek the lost!!

Pope Francis: Don't proselytize, instead heal the sick and seek the lost!!

Pope Francis has used an interview with Argentina's prestigious La Nacion newspaper to attack the Roman Catholic Church's 'clericalism' and to defend himself against charges that he is failing to provide the Church with clear leadership.

Asked about the numbers of Latin American Catholics leaving 

Asked about the numbers of Latin American Catholics leaving the Church, the Argentian Pope referred to the attractions of Protestant 'prosperity preaching', which he said had "inspired many religious propositions which people feel attracted to". However, striking a note which has become familiar since his election, he spoke of the need for clergy to reconnect with ordinary Catholics, saying: "I wonder about ourselves, what is it that we ourselves do, what is within the Church that makes the faithful unhappy? It's that people don´t feel we are close enough, it's clericalism. Today, to be close means to reach out to Catholics, to seek people out and be close to them, to sympathise with their problems, with their reality."

Asked whether the Church should do more to stop people leaving, he criticised 'managerial' approaches to the problem, saying: "I don't like to use terms connected with proselytism because that´s not the truth. I like to use the image of the field hospital: some people are very much injured and are waiting for us to heal their wounds, they are injured for a thousand reasons. We must reach out to them and heal their wounds."

He objected similarly to the word 'strategy', saying: "I'd much rather speak about the Lord´s pastoral call, otherwise it sounds like an NGO. It's the Lord's call, what the Church is asking from us today, not as a strategy, because the Church isn't into proselytism."

Traditional Catholics have criticised Pope Francis for speaking too generally about reforming the Church and failing to indentify a clear theological programme, with one senior cardinal describing the Church under his leadership as "like a ship without a rudder". Challenged on this, the Pope said: "Those expressions strike me as odd. I am not aware of anybody using them. The media quote them. However, until I can ask the people involved "Have you said this?" I will have brotherly doubts."

99% of the Vatican opposed my prayer summit idea!!

Welcome to Newchurch Bergoglio, 99% opposed to prayer summit!!  Anathema!

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Almost all Vatican officials initially opposed Pope Francis’ idea of bringing the Israeli and Palestinian presidents together for a prayer summit, he said in an interview published Friday.

However, they eventually warmed up to the idea. Francis hosted Shimon Peres and Mahmoud Abbas on the lawn of the Vatican gardens on June 8 for an evening of Jewish, Christian and Muslim prayers, weeks after the latest round of U.S.-sponsored peace talks collapsed. The meeting wasn’t aimed at restarting talks, but merely to serve as a symbol of mutual coexistence and respect.

In an interview with the Barcelona newspaper “La Vanguardia,” Francis acknowledged the idea was completely novel and wasn’t easy to pull off. But he said he had one aim: “to open a window to the world.”

“Here in the Vatican, 99 percent said we shouldn’t do it, and then later the 1 percent started growing,” he said.

Francis, whose friendship with Jews is well-known, appeared to defend World War II-era Pope Pius XII, accused by some Jews of not speaking out enough against the Holocaust. He noted that Pius sheltered Jews and said even the Allied powers had some explaining to do.

“They knew perfectly well the Nazis’ rail network used to bring Jews to concentration camps. They had the photos. Why didn’t they bomb the tracks?” he asked. “It’d be good that we discuss everything” and not just Pius’ actions.

On current events, Francis said he was concerned about recent secessionist movements in Scotland, Barcelona and Italy’s Padania region. He suggested that the secession that occurred in the former Yugoslavia was understandable since “there are places with cultures that are so different that you can’t keep them together even with glue.”

“The Yugoslav case was very clear, but I ask myself if it’s so clear in other cases,” he said. “You have to study it case by case.”

Asked why he even dared to enter into the Mideast “hurricane,” Francis quipped that the true hurricane came when he visited Brazil last year and was mobbed by millions of well-wishers because he refused the bullet-proof popemobile.

“I couldn’t greet people and tell them I love them from inside a sardine can, even if it was crystal!” he said.

Vatican Translator dies a Lutheran because "Cardinal" Ratzinger had told her NOT to Convert

There's Your New Evangelization:
Vatican Translator dies a Lutheran because "Cardinal" Ratzinger had told her NOT to Convert

She wanted to convert. She listened to Cardinal Ratzinger and died a Lutheran.

Sigrid Spath was the most famous German translator in Rome. She worked in the Jesuit General House, and then in the Vatican, since the days of Paul VI and translated around 70,000 pages of documents from Italian, French, English, Spanish or Polish into German, as well as several texts by Joseph Ratzinger, as Cardinal or Pope, as he also wrote original texts in Italian. The granddaughter of a Lutheran pastor, Spath was born in Villach, Carinthia (Austria), on August 1, 1939 (that is, just one month before the war), and she died this Sunday, February 2, 2014, in Rome.

May she rest in peace.

Now, the information above comes from the Vatican Radio article (in German) on Sigrid Spath, from which we have chosen this remarkable excerpt:

Sigrid Spath translated in these cases [documents written by the Pope in Italian] the German Pope into German. One of her favorite books was Ratzinger's "Introduction to Christianity", dozens of copies of which she gave to Protestant students visiting Rome.

As Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger charged her personally with the German version of particularly sensitive documents, such as his response to the objections of Protestant theologians to the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification of 1999. It was also Cardinal Ratzinger who, according to her own testimony, advised Sigrid Spath to remain a Protestant, and not to convert to the Catholic Church, as she had considered in a moment of crisis. She could do more for both churches if she remained a Protestant, said the Cardinal. The Carinthian remained in the Protestant Christuskirche in Rome [the Evangelical-Lutheran community of Rome] throughout her life.

Benedict XVI visits Lutheran Christuskirche in Rome, Mar. 14, 2010:
no stand-alone altar in this church!

Note: Life-changing decisions should be avoided, if possible, in moments of distress and personal crisis, when reflection and meditation are impossible. But the justification presented by the Cardinal for why she should permanently remain a Protestant obviously influenced her in a permanent way, so that she felt compelled to declare it to others openly.
