POPE FRANCIS APPOINTS CONTROVERSIAL PREACHER

(CatholicVote) “Vatican analyst Luisella Scrosati has raised concerns over Pope Francis’ appointment of Capuchin Friar Roberto Pasolini as the new Preacher of the Papal Household.

“Fr. Pasolini has suggested that certain Biblical relationships — such as those between Jonathan and David or the Roman centurion and his servant — could be interpreted as homosexual.”   On CatholicVote here:  READ

The previous papal preacher was Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa who was appointed by Pope John Paul II. He retires, deservedly so, at 90 years of age this year.

He was the papal preacher for about 44 years. Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis respectively confirmed his position, and Pope Francis gave him the red hat in 2020. As he retires, I wonder what he thinks of the new preacher’s position on sexuality and characters in the Bible.
