One of the best news is to import priests from Poland and Madagascar
Twelve years ago, Del’s commentators Or Žerdin and John Markeš talked about the just -elected pope and what his selection of the name Francis was then, Zerdin recalled today.
Markesh believes that he has tried to attach himself to Francis of Assisiand estimates that the name has managed to apologize. “The difference between him and between the church as he represented establishmentit was obvious all the time, ”says Markeš, who has Pope Francis for the largest pope of recent centuries.
The Pope was a Jesuit, and the Jesuits are considered to be a « intellectual spike » of the Catholic Church, Zerdin emphasized.
Tone Hocevar He believes that Francis was an intellectual spike, but the pope was over the Jesuits, since « they are not any saintly society. » The pope was not sublime, as the Jesuits are generally, he stressed.
Markesh estimates that he was a simple man who was the perfect « outsider » of the feudal, clerical Vatican. He unconditionally advocated Palestine, defended the rights of immigrants, quarreled with Trump, did not condemn gays, in short, he had moral authority, Markesh said. Hočevar believes that he saw the world event differently because he came from Argentina, not from Europe.
« In the last twelve years, I have met with different priests, there are not many of them that you can respect, » Markesh described the situation in the Catholic Church. « Slovenian Catholicism is significantly based solely on the political trauma of World War II and the cultural struggle from the time of clerics and liberals, » he said. « One of the best news is that the priests will start importing priests from Poland and Madagascar, as they will bring people who will actually deal with the content that makes them priests, » Markes said.
One of the first gestures made by Francis is that went to lampeduso And threw a wreath of flowers for deceased refugees into the sea, Zerdin recalled. He also went to the Greek islands and fought very much to People would no longer die in the Mediterranean Seabut no one supported him in this effort, he was supplemented by Hočevar. Black slaves were once collected on Lampedusa before being taken to America, but today Lampedus is not much different from the US and Mexico border, he recalled.
The pope also acted in the turning point on sexual abuse. There was a shift during his visit to Chile, Zerdin noticed. He once studied there. When he advocated his acquaintance on his visit, they gave him evidence that he was guilty of sexual abuse, which made Francis shock, demanded the resignation of bishops and thoroughly embarked on the church, Hočevar added.
Zerdin believes that this was the point where the pope left his well -intentioned naivety. « This was the first time I heard him sworn, he was honestly outraged, » recalls Markeš, who adds that the pope was still « in the litter of pedophilia, as it was a litter of pedophilia in the Vatican. »
« His greatness was that he never used his authorities against a little man, » Markeš estimates. Hočevar recalls how he did not recognize the top of Kuria in Rome, forcing Pope Francis to sell Mercedes and walk around the world modestly dressed, without gold chains and armana dresses. « What kind of rage did it have to be, » Hočevar thinks.
Despite the extraordinary podcast from Wednesday, on Tuesday, a new podcast is also expected tomorrow, in which Žerdin and Markeš will discuss internal political events.
