“Jesus plays in being a bit foolish”
A) The text of the speech by J.M.Bergoglio:
“Both are not truth: neither rigorism nor laxity are truth. The Gospel chooses another way. … Let us consider the scene of the adulterous woman (cf. Joh 8:1-11). It is written: she must be stoned. It is the moral code. It is clear. Not rigid, this is not rigid, it is a clear moral code. She must be stoned. Why? For the sanctity of marriage, fidelity. Jesus is clear about this. The word is adultery. It is clear. And Jesus plays in being a bit foolish [the revised and subsequently corrected transcription made by the Vatican Press Office reports “Jesus plays dumb”], he lets some time pass, writes on the ground….” (Opening of the Pastoral Congress of the Diocese of Rome, Basilica of Saint John Lateran, June 16th 2016)
B) References to Scriptures:
“Who is the liar, if not one who claims that Jesus is not the Christ? This is the Antichrist, who denies both the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son cannot have the Father either; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father too.” (1Jo 2:22-23)
In the face of such a words any comment seems redundant.
Only who is animated by the spirit of the antichrist, by the foul spirit, can dare to say that “Jesus plays in being a bit foolish”.
Who blasphemes the Holy Spirit, that is Christ, is not a son of God but is son of the evil one, of satan, of the ancient serpent, God’s enemy.
And who prays in communion with those who are animated by the foul spirit, will receive their same condemnation.
