Online Spanish/French publication reports on new allegations made in La Reppublica newspaper in Italy on November 5 2019.
Google translation of Spanish version as follows:
On day 5, Eugenio Scalfari, the founding communist atheist of La Repubblica and Francisco’s personal friend, again attributed the heretical opinions to the Pope, without the Holy See having once again issued any denial.
“He was a man until he was deposited in the tomb by the women who laid out his body,” Scalfari quoted on November 5, on page 35 of La Repubblica, attributing these words to the Pope. “That night in the sepulcher the man disappeared and from that cave emerged in the appearance of a spirit that met with the women and the Apostles, still retaining the shadow of the person and then disappeared definitively.”
Scalfari insists, then, in the development of the kenotic heresy that accuses the Holy Father, according to which Jesus Christ would have been God only in the Incarnation and from the Resurrection, being only man the rest of his passage through the earth.
On October 8, in his article entitled “Synod, Francisco and the spirit of the Amazon,” Scalfari said "who has had, as has happened to me several times, the fortune of finding him and speaking to him with the utmost cultural confidence, He knows that Pope Francis conceives Christ as Jesus of Nazareth, man, not God incarnate. Once incarnate, Jesus ceases to be a God and becomes a man until his death on the cross. ”
“When it has happened to me to discuss these phrases, Pope Francis told me: ‘[These phrases, Ndr] are the proof that Jesus of Nazareth once made man, although a man of exceptional virtue, was not completely a God,’” he wrote in his text of October 8.
A day later, in a statement issued on October 9 by the Vatican, the Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said that “as has been stated on other occasions, the words that Dr. Eugenio Scalfari attributes in quotes to the Holy Father during the colloquies that with him he has had, they cannot be considered as a faithful account of what he has said, but they represent a personal and free interpretation of what he has heard, as it seems quite evident from what is written today about the divinity of Jesus Christ ” .
Many then wondered how in such a scandalous affair, referred to the Vicar of Christ and published by who is, in addition to his usual personal and confident friend, a renowned journalist who writes in the second newspaper of Italy for circulation, there had been no clarification. by Francisco himself, and even why the denial did not include the authentic version of the alleged statements.
On this occasion, there has not even been any comment from the Holy See."
