In his homily on Thursday at the women's prison in Rebibbia, Italy, Francis once again "canonised" Judas, whom Christ said it would have been better for him not to have been born.
"Judas is incapable of carrying love forward. Then money and selfishness lead him to this evil [betrayal]. But Jesus forgives everything. Jesus always forgives," Francis claimed, as if he wanted to conjure up a blank cheque for his own betrayals of the Church. Bergoglio gravely omits the fact that, for God to forgive, man must ask for forgiveness, which Judas never did. This is another grotesque way of minimizing sin in general and deicide in particular.
Francis then claimed that Christ "only asks us to ask for forgiveness". But this is not true, for he also requires sacramental confession, repentance, the intention to change and satisfaction.
