From abortion to pornography or child abuse in the church, Pope Francis responded to a group of young people he met in Rome at the request of the Spanish journalist Jordi Evole to take part in the program “Amen,” replies Francis, which will premiere this Wednesday on Disney+ worldwide.
Among young men aged 20 to 25 there are believing Catholics, atheists and Muslims, victim of sexual abuse at a religious center in Spain, a Colombian porn actress or an Argentine pro-abortion activist who gives the pope a green handkerchief, a symbol of mobilization for his legalization in Argentina.
These are the most outstanding phrases of the pontiff during meeting that took place last June in a shared workspace in the alternative Pigneto area.
Immigration
“The migrant must be received, accompanied, promoted and integrated”.
“Consciousness of exploitation, the specter of slavery and colonialism behind an immature migration policy.”
“It seems that there are first-class and second-class migrants, Those who come from Ukraine, this great drama, are better received than those who come from Africa.”
Past of the Church
“Assuming the past is hard and sometimes embarrassing; consistency is what we Christians value most, even in the Vatican, sometimes I find worldly in the Vatican.”
“The reform of the Church must begin from within and The Church must always be reformedAs the culture develops, the requirements change.
Capitalism
“There is just as much slavery today as there was in the past, only in a different way. A woman on the waiting list for unemployment who is offered an eleven-hour job for six hundred euros a month is modern slavery, market slavery. Or a woman who cannot get pregnant, so she is not fired from her job, deprived of her freedom to be a mother. There is modern slavery that Christians should condemn.
Abortion
“The problem of abortion must be considered scientifically and with a certain coldness, any treatise on embryology teaches us that one month after conception DNA is already delineated and drawings of organs, this is not a cluster of cells that have come together, this is human life.
“The question to be asked is about morality, Is it legal to destroy human life to solve the problem? Or, if I go to the doctor, is it legal to hire a hitman to kill human life to fix the problem?”
“A woman who has had an abortion cannot be left alone, you must accompany her. But it is convenient to call a spade a spade. It is one thing to accompany, and another to justify an act.
child abuse
one of the young Juan talks about his experience of being abused in Spain.a case archived by the Vatican that Francis promises to reopen.
“These cases of abuse of minors are not prescribed in the Church (…), Child abuse is a drama not only in the Church, everywhere, exactly where you are supposed to take care of people, you destroy them.”
“I appreciate the courage to denounce this, it’s not easy and sometimes he who condemns eventually becomes the accused.”
“Perhaps the people (inside the Vatican) are not playing well, the policy is to removezero tolerance is the policy of the Church.
The role of women in the church
“This is a theological problem, there are two lines in the church, there are men in the ministry, and in motherhood, women are much more important.
“The promotion of women is in line with their vocation as women, not in ministerial machismo, otherwise we would have reduced women.”
When asked why a woman cannot be a priest: “Behind your desire for promotion, you demonstrate a courageous commitment, because you have a complex about the fact that a woman cannot be a priest; it cannot be dogmatic, and the woman is deprived of the richest thing that she has.
“(The Church) does not detract from women, puts her first, but where she should be, Being a priest is no better than not being, it is very important to be a woman in the Church.”
Sexuality, porn and masturbation
“Pornography is decreasing, not increasing, whoever uses pornography diminishes humanely.”
“Sex is one of the beautiful things that God has given to man, sexual expression is wealth.”
“The expression of love is the central point of sexual activity; whatever takes you away from that direction makes you smaller.”
“The catechism on sex is still in its infancy, Christians didn’t have mature catechesis about sex and it is one of the beautiful things that God has created.”
Corruption
“The truth of the Church is on the periphery, in the center are good, holy people, and there is also a lot of corruption. There is a lot of damage to the church institution and abuse of power, this is true.”
