Is it any wonder Europe is a mess?

Jean-Claude Juncker President of the European Commission 

(i.e. Juncker is the Prime-Minister of the European Union)

Is he taking psychedelic drugs and hallucinating

or

is he meeting with demons?

Was this a close encounter of the third kind?

Spiritual hugs after Francis receives the Charlemagne Prize.

Juncker’s intergalactic space travel!

The media speculated if Jean-Claude Juncker was drunk here when he slapped Viktor Orbán’s face and called him a dictator for defending his country’s borders.

And to think that such people are governing Europe!

Full Text of In-Flight Papal Press Conference From Albania

"The Albanian is not tolerant; he is a brother. He has the capacity of fraternity: and more than that. This is witnessed in the coexistence, in the collaboration between Muslims, Orthodox and Catholics."

Vatican City, September 22, 2014 (Zenit.org)

Here below is an English translation of the transcript of Pope Francis' press conference given on the flight back from Tirana yesterday evening.

***

(Father Lombardi) – Well, now: We are very grateful to the Holy Father for being with us, even at the end of such a demanding day. He wished to be at our disposition for some questions, but a few, on the trip. And so we adopted as criteria to have questions of our three Albanian colleagues, who made the whole trip with us: they came to Rome precisely to travel with you, and now they are also returning to Rome to conclude their experience with you. They are from three Albanian television channels. We begin with Mrs. Mira Tuci, who is from Albanian National Television.

(Journalist) – Your Holiness left with an idea in mind for the Albanians, for Albania -- how Albanians have suffered, but they are also tolerant. Did you find some other quality in Albanians, which you have been able to see? Are these qualities the right ones to make the eagle return to the nest?

(Pope Francis) – I will say that I have adjusted somewhat those things that you say, but the suffering that you Albanians have had I’ve seen closer up. As for tolerance … I change the word. The Albanian is not tolerant; he is a brother. He has the capacity of fraternity: and more than that. This is witnessed in the coexistence, in the collaboration between Muslims, Orthodox and Catholics. And they collaborate but as brothers, no? And then, something else struck me from the beginning: the youth of the country. When I made this comment, I was told that it’s the youngest country in Europe. But Albania has, in fact one sees, a superior development in culture and also in governance, thanks to this fraternity. 

(Journalist) – Your Holiness, moving on the central boulevard of Tirana, under the portraits of clerics martyred during the Communist regime, in a country in which atheism of State was imposed up to 25 years ago, what personal emotion did you have? 

(Pope Francis) – I have been studying somewhat for two months that difficult period of Albania to understand it. I have also studied the beginning to a degree. But you have most beautiful cultural roots, and strong, of great culture, since the beginning. I have studied this period and it was a cruel period: the level of cruelty was terrible. When I saw those photographs, not only of Catholics but also of Orthodox, even Muslims, … and when I thought of the words addressed to them “But you must not believe in God” – “I do believe!” – boom, and they did so <publicly>. Therefore I say that all three of the religious components gave witness of God and now give witness of fraternity. 

(Journalist) – Your Holiness, you visited Albania which is a country of Muslim majority. However, the visit happened at a precarious moment given the global situation. You yourself stated that the Third World War has already begun. Is your message of the visit only for the Albanians or does it go beyond? 

(Pope Francis) – No, it goes beyond. Albania has made a journey of peace, of coexistence and of collaboration that goes beyond; it goes to other countries that also have diverse ethnic roots. You have said: “It’s a Muslim country in the majority.” Yes, but it isn’t a Muslim country. It’s a European country. This was a surprise for me. Albania is a European country, in fact, because of its culture – the culture of coexistence, also because of the historical culture it has had. 

(Journalist) – You have now made this trip to Albania, which is in Europe. What are the next ones? 

(Pope Francis) – Yes, I can’t change the geography. The next trips will be November 25, Strasbourg, the European Council and the European Parliament, both, – and, then, the 28th – perhaps – Turkey, to be there for the feast on the 30thof Saint Andrew, with Patriarch Bartholomew. 

(Journalist) – Holiness, we have understood that you have a vision of Albania that is somewhat different from that of Europeans, that is, we look at Europe almost as the European Union. You have chosen, as the first country of Europe to visit, a country of the periphery that does not belong to the European Union. What can you say to those who look only at the Europe of the “powerful”? 

(Pope Francis) – That my trip is a message, it’s a sign; it’s a sign I want to give. 

(Journalist) – We all saw you, I believe, weep, for the first time, you were very moved in that meeting: I think it was the most moving moment of the trip. 

(Holy Father) – To hear a martyr speak of his own martyrdom is intense! I think that all of us who were there were moved, all of us. And those witnesses spoke as if they were speaking of another, with naturalness, with humility. This did me good! Thank you so much and good evening.

[Translation by ZENIT]

Even the Vatican itself doesn't know what Francis said!

Nor does Michael Voris!

According to Michael Voris and ChurchMilitant.TV the nonsense about Francis has to STOP!  And NOW!  In one of their latest Vortex videos, Voris laughably says Francis is ill quoted and misrepresented!  Do any readers of Call Me Jorge... think we do this?  Voris insists one should ignore the media and blogs until the Vatican and/or Voris can clarify what Francis really meant to say.  In other words don't believe the conclusions you have reached (with your ears, eyes, Catholic morals, and your brain) but wait for the gatekeepers to explain away all that heretical behavior of Francis.  The first misleading point Voris makes in his video is what the term civil union in Italy means.  The definition of civil union in Italy is when two people of the opposite sex get married in front of a government official with two witnesses.  We will say more on this in a moment.  Next, Voris makes his listeners think Italy is different from the United States if one is a Catholic when it comes to marriage but this simply isn't true.  See he leads the listener to believe if you are Catholic one needs to have a civil marriage before one has a marriage in the church.  This is only the case for non-Catholics.  From the United States Diplomatic Mission to Italy, 

Religious Ceremony: A religious ceremony is considered valid if performed by a Roman Catholic priest.  A separate civil ceremony will not be necessary, as the priest will register the marriage with the civil authorities.

...A religious ceremony performed by non-Roman Catholic clergy requires that a civil ceremony be performed prior to the religious one to ensure the legality of the marriage.  If you are planning such a religious ceremony, you should consult with the priest, minister, or rabbi far in advance of the actual ceremony.

See how Voris plays fast and loose with the facts?  He is as guilty of the same thing he is accusing others of!  Not to mention back in Argentina, Cardinal Bergoglio was against same-sex marriage under the auspices of the church but for same-sex civil union contracts by the Argentinian government!   Pro-sodomy activist, Marcelo Marquez wrote a letter to the Argentinean church leaders upset about them not supporting same-sex marriage.  Less than one hour later his phone rang and on the other end was Cardinal Bergoglio.

"He told me. ... 'I'm in favor of gay rights and in any case, I also favor civil unions for homosexuals, but I believe that Argentina is not yet ready for a gay marriage law.'"

Voris then informs everyone how ill informed they are about same-sex civil unions as if in Europe the countries which have them are rare.

European Countries which recognize same-sex civil unions:

• Belgium
• France
• Denmark
• Iceland
• Portugal 
• Netherlands
• Luxembourg *
• United Kingdom
• Sweden
• Spain

* enacted in 2014 and will become law 1 January 2015

Voris ignores these facts on same-sex civil unions in Italy:

• 155 municipalities  that have approved the register of same-sex civil unions
• 5 municipalities issue same-sex couples the certificate of a registered family
• 8 district councils which have approved  the register of same-sex civil unions

Mike also fails to mention troubling recent behavior:

• Francis kissing the hand of Don Michele De Paolis (supports same-sex marriage)
• publicly holding hands with and hugging don Luigi Ciotti (supports same-sex marriage)

Voris also turns a blind eye to the past behavior of Francis.  According to Leonardo Boff in a Der Spiegel interview, 

For example, a few months ago he explicitly permitted a homosexual couple to adopt a child. He kept in touch with priests who were expelled from the official church because they had gotten married. And no one could ever persuade him to change his position, which was: we have to be on the side of the poor, even if it means opposing the powerful.

Did you catch that?  He permitted a child to be adopted by sodomites when he was Archbishop of Argentina!  This is clearly against Catholic teaching.  Has Francis changed since moving to the Vatican?  Nope!  Did you hear a peep from the Vatican when on 5 April 2014 two lesbians had their daughter baptized at Cordoba Cathedral?  Sources in the church said, 

"if Jorge Bergoglio were not Pope, it would have been more complicated."

Once again this is against Catholic teaching.  Children are to be raised in a Catholic home and bishops as well as priests are instructed to forcibly remove the child from the home if this isn't the case.  Sodomy, lesbianism, whatever you want to call it, it isn't Catholic.  Don't believe us, then look it up  in a commentary on Canon Law.  We haven't even mentioned, this same couple was married in an Argentinian civil union because of a law Francis supported! 

Back to Voris and his Vortex of distortion.  Here is the quote from the interview of Francis by Ferruccio de Bortoli which Voris refers to but doesn't provide the viewer with.

Many countries have regulated civil unions. Is it a path that the Church can understand? But up to what point?

Francis: Marriage is between one man and one woman. The secular States want to justify civil unions to regulate different situations of coexistence, spurred by the need to regulate economic aspects between persons as, for instance, to ensure healthcare. Each case must be looked at and evaluated in its diversity.

It is clear from the above quote Francis differentiates between marriages and civil unions however he doesn't differentiate between civil unions between heterosexuals and same-sex civil unions.   Francis doesn't come out and condemn this sinful behavior of same-sex civil unions instead he leaves the door open.   Before one believes the official what he really said look at the words above "different situations of coexistence" and "diversity".  Notice Voris in the video makes you think the question is about Italy when the interviewer said, "many countries."  Voris on the other hand says everyone got what Francis said wrong and sets up a straw man which he can attack to make himself look good.  Does Voris' behavior remind you of anyone?  Francis perhaps?  

It's not in this video but in others Voris has said the reason for this quote getting explosive play in the media is also due to it being mistranslated!  He tells listeners the Vatican translations are atrocious and at fault for making Francis seem un-catholic.  Who buys this hooey?  We compared the translation above to the original Italian and while it is not a literal translation it does say the same thing.  

What is growing old is the same old monotonous excuses Voris comes up for Francis' behavior as well as his ostrich-like response, where he sticks his head into the ground, when he doesn't want to address Francis' behavior because he cannot defend it.  If you don't like the "3rd rate chatter" of this blog and believe Francis is misunderstood and want to hear excuses for Francis instead, sign up for Voris' Retreat at Sea and tell him Call Me Jorge... sent you!

A more fitting name for churchmilitant.tv is churchdilettante.tv

And now onto Michael Voris and the Vortex...

Even the Vatican Itself Doesn't Know what Francis Said!

Remember to chill out and wait for the official word from the Vatican unless you are Voris mis-reporting that Francis is about to take a broom to the Curia and sack them all!
