Har Franciskus samma uppfattning som kardinal Bergoglio ?

Som kardinal skrev  2010  nyvalde påven  Franciskus en bok  ”On Heaven and Earth” tillsammans med den argentinske rabbinen Abraham Skorka där de tillsammans i dialogform  utvecklar synen på bla  ateism, fundamentalism, abort och samkönade äktenskap.

I frågan om ATEISM säger Bergoglio.

“When I meet with people who are atheists, I share human issues with them, but I don’t bring up the problem of God right away, except in cases when they bring it up with me”

“I am not reluctant in any way. I would not tell him that his life is condemned because I am convinced that I have no right to pass judgment on the honesty of the person,” Bergoglio says. “Even less so if he shows me human virtues that make people better and are done in goodwill toward me.”

Bergoglio mentions a book titled The Cloud of Unknowing, written by English mystics who attempt, “time and time again, to describe God and always end up signaling what he is not.”

He continues this line of thought by saying that while one may have a spiritual experience and feel certain that God is present, the experience itself is uncontrollable.

“This is why in the experience of God, there is always a question, a space to make the leap of faith,” he concludes.

Om FUNDAMENTALISM

A priest dictator “weakens and holds back people in the search for God,” Bergoglio says. A true teacher “will let his disciple go and he will walk with him in his spiritual life.”

Om ABORT

Bergoglio says, “The moral problem of abortion is pre-religious in nature because the genetic code of the person happens in the moment of conception. A human being is already there. I separate the topic of abortion from any religious concept. It is a scientific problem. To not let the development continue of a being who already has all the genetic code of a human being is not ethical. The right to life is the first of human rights. To abort is to kill someone who cannot defend himself.”

Om SAMKÖNAT ÄKTENSKAP säger Bergoglio

”To serve its people, Bergoglio says, religion has the right to its say over certain topics in private and public life. “What [the religious minister] does not have a right to do is to force the private life of anyone,” he says. “If God, in his creation, ran the risk of making us free, who am I to butt in?”

“We condemn the spiritual harassment that happens when a minister imposes directives, behaviors, requirements in such a way that deprive the other of freedom”

”He goes on to explain that other concepts like living together before marriage, while not right from a religious perspective, do not carry the stigma they did 50 years ago.”

PS  Gillar  Bergoglios  attityd till ateism  och fundamentalism .

När det gäller synen på abort har Bergoglio lite kvar att lära som tex att något befruktningsögonblick rent vetenskapligt inte existerar  utan befruktningen tar  betydligt längre tid i anspråk  än ett enda ögonblick.   Befruktningen sker i en serie  olika delmoment  och  det går därför att problematisera  Bergoglios synsätt genom att fråga sig  hur man ska se på en  befruktingsprocess som ej tillåts att fullbordas.

Synen på samkönade äktenskap  jämför Bergoglio  med  synen på föräktenskapliga förbindelser  och Bergoglio tycks här lämna en viss öppning  för vidare utveckling.

Om synen på kvinnliga ämbetsbärare lyser med sin frånvaro bara i NCR referat eller också i boken On Heaven and Earth framkommer inte.

Bergoglio har som påve  visat sin uppskattning av kvinnor som trosförmedlare men om detta också innefattar att Bergoglio vill bana väg för framtida  kvinnliga ämbetsbärare eller om han som sina föregångare bara menar att kvinnors roll är att förmedla  tron som  mödrar, som ordenssystrar och kvinnor i största allmänhet – det återstår att se.
