Shame. This is how I could summarize my reaction when reading the words of Pope Francis on the death of the Argentine far-leftist Hebe de Bonafini.<\/p>\n

A part of the Spanish government praises a fanatic who supported the 9\/11 attacks<\/a><\/rel>
\nNicaragua: disconcerting difference between the reactions of Pope Francis and the UN<\/a><\/rel><\/p>\n

The praise of Francis to Bonafini disseminated by the official agency of the Vatican<\/big><\/p>\n

Those words have been published by Vatican News<\/a>, the Holy See's news agency, which states that Francis wrote a letter to the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo on November 20 about Bonafini , affirming: \"In this moment of pain for the death of Hebe de Bonafini<\/strong>, mother of the square, I want to be close to you and to all the people who mourn her departure.\"<\/em><\/p>\n

Of the deceased, Francisco says the following: \"She knew how to transform her life<\/strong>, like you, marked by the pain of his disappeared sons and daughters, in a tireless search for the defense of the rights of the most marginalized and invisible<\/strong>\"<\/em>, and he adds: \"I remember, in the meeting we had in the Vatican, the passion that she transmitted to me for wanting to give a voice to those who did not have it.\"<\/em> According to Vatican News, Francis also praised Bonafini's \"bravery\" and \"courage\"<\/strong>, crediting her with \"the search for truth, memory and justice.\"<\/em><\/p>\n

Bonafini celebrated the 9\/11 attacks and called the terrorists \"brave\"<\/big><\/p>\n

This seems like the last straw to me. As I pointed out yesterday<\/a>, Bonafini was a fanatic who celebrated the attacks of September 11, 2001<\/a>, calling the terrorists who carried them out \"brave\" and stating: \"When the attack happened and I was In Cuba visiting my daughter, I felt joy. I'm not going to be a hypocrite, it didn't hurt me at all<\/strong>.\"<\/em> Bonafini added: \"I was happy, why not.<\/strong> Some will find it wrong. Each one will evaluate and think. I'm not going to be false. I toasted my children, I toasted so many dead , against the blockade, for everything that came to mind. I toasted to the brave. I toasted to the men who made a declaration of war with their bodies<\/strong>\"<\/em>, words with the He was referring to the terrorists who murdered 2,996 people in those attacks.<\/p>\n

He also called Saint John Paul II a \"pig\" and wished him \"to burn alive in hell\"<\/big><\/p>\n

On the other hand, and as an Argentine newspaper recalled the day before yesterday<\/a>, Bonafini said about Pope Saint John Paul II: \"We want him to burn alive in hell. He is a pig.<\/strong> Although a priest He told me that pork is eaten, and this Pope is inedible\"<\/em>. She also called the Catholic Church a \"coup plotter.\"<\/strong> Her list of infamy could provide material for several articles. She never apologized or showed any remorse for those atrocities.<\/strong> She was a communist fanatic and exhibited her hatred and extremism without any shame.<\/p>\n

What the Catechism of the Catholic Church says about the scandal<\/big><\/p>\n

For Francis to praise a wretch like Hebe de Bonafini is something shameful and scandalous.<\/strong> Francis should read a little carefully what the Catechism of the Catholic Church says about the scandal<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"Scandal is an attitude or behavior which leads another to do evil.<\/strong> the person who gives scandal becomes his neighbor's tempter. He damages virtue and integrity; he may even draw his brother into spiritual death.<\/strong> Scandal is a grave offense if by deed or omission another is deliberately led into a grave offense.\"<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Catechism also warns: \"Scandal takes on a particular gravity by reason of the authority of those who cause it or the weakness of those who are scandalized.\"<\/em> And it adds: \"Scandal is grave when given by those who by nature or office are obliged to teach and educate others.<\/strong> Jesus reproaches the scribes and Pharisees on this account: he likens them to wolves in sheep's clothing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n

For my part, as a Catholic, I can't do anything other than apologize to the victims of 9\/11 for the words of Francis<\/strong>. It is unfortunate that a Pope exhibits that attitude and has no qualms about causing scandal with his praise of a person as miserable and base as Hebe de Bonafini. I begin to wonder if God has sent this Pope to us to test our faith<\/strong>, because otherwise I can't explain certain things he does and says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
