The miracle of the loaves and fishes “is not the truth: simply they did not finish”

 

A)  The text of the speech by J.M.Bergoglio:

They (the loaves and the fishes) did not multiply. No, it’s not the truth: simply they did not finish, just as the flour and the oil of the widow did not finish. They didn’t end. When one says the word “multiply”, he can get confused and believe that a kind of magic has been made … no, it is simply the greatness of God and of the Love that He has put in our hearts that – if we want – all we possess does not end” (Speech to the Caritas Internationalis, May 16, 2013)

 

B) References to Scriptures:

But they answered, ‘All we have with us is five loaves and two fish.’ So he said, ‘Bring them here to me.’ He gave orders that the people were to sit down on the grass; then he took the five loaves and the two fish, raised his eyes to heaven and said the blessing. And breaking the loaves he handed them to his disciples, who gave them to the crowds. They all ate as much as they wanted, and they collected the scraps left over, twelve baskets full. Now about five thousand men had eaten, to say nothing of women and children” (Mat 14:17-21)

 

C) Comment:

This statement of Bergoglio is very serious.

Bergoglio, with his words, annihilates and erases one of the greatest miracles performed by Jesus Christ in His earthly history.

What spirit gives Bergoglio the authority and the right to cancel the words of the Evangelists with reference to the “five loaves and two fishes”, textually saying: “They did not multiply. No, it’s not the truth: they simply did not finish”?!

The whole world knows this miracle.

This miracle is due to the full omnipotence of the Man‑God, Jesus Christ. If the loaves were “five” and the fishes were “two”, how was it possible to feed, with these numbers, over “five thousand men, besides women and children”?

These statements are very serious and confirm that the words of Bergoglio are not errors as a result of extemporaneous distractions, but they are firm stances in stark contrast to the revealed Word and the Holy Scripture, and tend to deny the Divine Action that God the Father has manifested in His Son Jesus, the Man-God, the Saviour of the world, that through His death on the Cross has defeated evil.
