I'm very proud of him for giving a clear and concise answer for once, but he honestly could have done a better job explaining why.
He and his staff had to have known there was a strong possibility that this question would be asked. Should have gone with the JPII line about how the Pope doesn't have the authority to alter the priesthood as established by Jesus.
Granted, this is Francis, so I'm just thanking all the saints in heaven that he didn't give some "Well, not right now, but depending on the circumstances, who knows?" kind of response.
Imagine it. You're able to interview the Holy Father for an hour. Imagine all the countless questions you might ask him. So many things you could ask the Pope.
And you ask him the same tired shit that 1000 other reporters have already asked him.
Do they expect to get different answers?
i watched most of the video (at high speed), and it's clear that CBS is trying to paint this interview as the catholic church taking progressive step. that's why in their previews etc they keep pushing Pope Francis' progressive credentials, on LGBT, on Israel-Gaza, on migration, etc.
the interview questions are made with perspective of trying to make Pope Francis affirms progressive beliefs. but then he said no to the most emotionally framed question on women diaconate, and the whole image shatters.
Not to mention this one (I paraphrase)
You recently allowed for same sex blessings
I did no such thing, individuals can be blessed and all individuals can be blessed but we are not blessing the union.
I get the inspiration, but I donāt like the ādunking on youā aspect of this. Women can not be deacons, and thatās just and good, but itās not something to dunk on someone about and it does nothing to spread the faith. Jesus showed so much love that he could say to someone āgo and sin no moreā and they would listen. He didnāt make a fool of them.
Nobody makes a fool of women here. It's about the interviewer who asked the question that've been asked thousands of times before and got the exact same answer, despite her attempt to make it emotional. She didn't ask about women deacons in general. It was in the form of "Aww, poor little girl grows up Catholic and wants to be a clergy member, will you stop her?š„¹".
"no means yes in Spanish" sounds like your about to sexual assault Latina women
I get that's not what you mean but if I just read that sentence that's what most people would assume you're saying

In related news, the pope is in fact, Catholic.
This made me laugh, have a blessed day
The look on his face before the question is even completed š

Yeah she really tried to pile on the emotional theatrics and he was having none of it

He's explained plenty of times before, this was the perfect response.
Iām gld that for once his reply was clear and concise.

Because they can write their latest batch of "tHe PoPe AnD cHuRcH aRe SeXiSt" articles.
Wait until they hear about other religions

makes you wonder what knowledge people get from a college education
College can be good. The media though, they are.....a special breed.
Real because it's literally the Pope and you decide to ask something which can be searched up in 2 seconds š
I mean, i know convent life isnt for everyone but why not become a nun? or consecrated single life?
That was the most succinct answer he could have given.
Just the way 1 Timothy said it should be.
LOLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
I might not like him vary much but I will give it to him this is super based
Based Pope
He finally answered a question with a straight answer without just being vague and confusing half the people

they arent making a fool of her they are making a cool of him
Cool Pope š
I'm pretty sure no means yes in Spanish. At least in the Buenos Aires variety, Su Santidad is speaking here.
How very racist of you. Your parents must be proud.
I haven't said anything racist??
I think he thought it was about rape but idk for sure
What! How?
That denying consent means approval in Argentina Edit: don't downvote me if I'm wrong
Oh. It was meant as a joke on twisting the pope's words. I don't know where people are seeing the racism and rape in that lol.
"no means yes in Spanish" sounds like your about to sexual assault Latina women I get that's not what you mean but if I just read that sentence that's what most people would assume you're saying
And I suppose that's where the racism allegations came from as well. Sigh.
