This Is the Vatican Reaction…

The Vatican finally reacted to the Olympic blasphemy and they bought the non-apology, 'We're sorry if you were offended, not for the blasphemy'.


Here it is.

Le Saint-Siège a été attristé par certaines scènes de la cérémonie d’ouverture des Jeux Olympiques de Paris et ne peut que se joindre aux voix qui se sont élevées ces derniers jours pour déplorer l’offense faite à de nombreux chrétiens et croyants d’autres religions.

Dans un événement prestigieux où le monde entier se réunit autour de valeurs communes ne devraient pas se trouver des allusions ridiculisant les convictions religieuses de nombreuses personnes.

La liberté d’expression, qui, évidemment, n’est pas remise en cause, trouve sa limite dans le respect des autres.

The Holy See was saddened by some scenes at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games and cannot but join the voices that have been raised in recent days to deplore the offense done to many Christians and believers of other religions. 

In a prestigious event where the whole world comes together around common values, there should be no allusions that ridicule the religious convictions of many people. 

Freedom of expression, which is obviously not called into question, finds its limit in respect for others.

SERIOUSLY?

As a friend said, the point is not our feelings. It is the reality of our Maker blasphemed by creatures. Statements focusing only on the faithful’s feeling play into the non-apologies of these satanic reprobates who will say “sorry if you FELT offended” which is like to say “sorry if I didn’t think you are such a Neanderthal as to feel offended by my sophisticated satire”

  1. This entire situation is beyond diabolical. God forgive us for this intolerable selfishness and spiritual carelessness. We owe God more than a puny, "We're sorry."

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
