Pope Francis, the head of the Vatican, made a highly bewildering and bizarre appointment.
He put up a controversial priest, who’s writing books on kissing and accused of sexual abuse cover-ups, to be in charge of the “discipline and doctrine” of the Roman Catholic Church, reports reveal.
The questionable new “Head of Discipline and Doctrine” for all Catholics worldwide, as per Pope Francis’s order, is Monsignor Victor Manuel Fernandez.
This is a bishop described as the Pope’s “trusted theological advisor and a fellow Argentinian, The Gateway Pundit reports, citing the Associated Press.
The report points out that Francis demonstrated he’s a globalist trying to “remake” the Catholic Church according to his bizarre understanding of it.
He’s now appointed Fernandez to one of the strongest positions in the Ecclesiastic Hierarchy; the appointment already sparked protests outside the church and also inside.
Up until now, Fernandez served as the archbishop of Argentina’s La Plata. He’s now become the head of the Dicastery for the church’s faith doctrine (DDF), a successor of the medieval Inquisition.
The dicastery enforces the dogmas of the Catholic Church and “disciplines” those theologians who have “strayed” from the official doctrine.
According to the report, Fernandez, who will take up the new job in September, has actually ghost-written some of the most important documents put forth by Pope Francis.
Among those protesting his appointment is BishopAccountability.org, a group based in Massachusetts, which keeps an online database of sex abuse in the Catholic Church.
The organization described Pope Francis’s appointment as “troubling,” as cited by ABC News. It said Fernandez in 2019 “refused to believe” sex abuse victims after they openly accused a priest from his diocese of raping boys.
Meanwhile, the appointment is attacked from inside the Roman Catholic Church – with many conservative prelates slamming Fernandez’s theological work. One of the works he has written is a 1995 book on “the art of kissing” called “Heal Me With Your Mouth.”
To make the book even more absurd than it already seems, Fernandez himself admitted that writing it was hardly appropriate for a priest; then, he declared he didn’t write it based on his own experience.
