It’s an ancient Biblical wisdom Pope Francis seems to have very quickly forgotten in the wake of the explosive allegations which Archbishop Vigano made in a letter published on Saturday accusing the Pope himself of lying about his knowledge of disgraced former Cardinal McCarrick.
Pope Francis recommended parents seek psychiatric help for children who show homosexual tendencies, during a press conference on his plane taking him back to Rome from Ireland.
A journalist asked the pontiff on Sunday what he would say to parents who observe homosexual traits in their children.
"I would say first of all pray, not to condemn, to dialogue, to understand, to give space to the son or the daughter," he responded.
He emphasized that parents should not respond with "silence".
"Ignoring a son or daughter who has homosexual tendencies is an error of fatherhood or motherhood."
Silence, ignoring a problem is an error of fatherhood -- advice from the lips of the Vicar of Christ.
Yet when it comes to confronting and responding to what appears to be an unprecedented crisis within the Papacy and the Roman Curia, Pope Francis response: “I will not say one word.”
Physician heal thyself!
