Quoted from an article entitled Pope Francis says response to division should be silence, prayer by By Hannah Brockhaus for EWTN News/CNA [1]:
Pope Francis said Monday that to division and scandal the answer should be silence and prayer; and asked the Lord for the grace to discern when it is better to speak or to remain quiet.
“With people who do not have good will, with people who seek only scandal, who seek only division, who seek only destruction, even within families,” the answer is “silence. And prayer.”
Bergoglio who is in the hot seat as a result of sex scandals wants, of course, Catholics to pray away sexual sins committed by the clergy in silence and in secrecy which, ironically, is mindful of the inappropriate, despicable and forced-upon sex acts that had taken place or perhaps are still taking place within the Catholic church.
Bergoglio also speaks of division. He does not specify what it is, deliberately to obfuscate. Is the division between those who would want everyone to forget about the scandals while permitting tacitly the scandals to continue in silence and secrecy and those who want transparency and full accountability out in the open?
Bergoglio is too sly, but Satan is far worse.
