Francis' true colors shine through
The day Francis asks forgiveness for child abuse committed by priests, this cover appeared on the Spanish magazine, Portada ABC. It is the most frightening image we here at Call Me Jorge... have seen of him to date.
Over 60 years as a Roman Catholic I never imagined that I would have to ask myself privately, let alone publicly but I have seen so many demented and twisted occurrences personally since 1965 when I was at a priest-run school......and what of the reports that this man has connections to paedophile rings as his predecessor? Are these malicious gossip?
We have heard similar rumors. As the expression goes, "where there is smoke there is fire." You can be certain, if we find proof to back it up, we will post it on this blog.
I was hoping Bishops Marcinkus, Law, Bernadin et al. would be brought to justice on Earth but I guess we must await the final judgement (unless JPII has persuaded God otherwise).
Such magazine covers illustrate that The Vatican is semiologically determined to demonstrate that the clergy can't keep their hands off children - the kissing, hugging and other physical postures open them up to the temptations which follow. Some distance and detachment are necessary prerequisites to the avoidance of breaking the barriers that can lead to inappropriate behaviours.
Suor Cristina sang Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun"< but it's a pity she didn't also do a cover of the same singer's "True Colors", as it would have fit this particular post so well.
