"Interviewer: Better atheists than Christians who hate? Mgr. Bux: I believe that the problem arises when the Pope strays from the script prepared for him and looks up at the audience. My feeling is that certain statements, in addition to a certain self-satisfaction, stem from the annoyance he feels towards the Church. Pope Francis prefers a vision of the Church as an indistinct people rather than one understood in the true sense. He does not realise, however, that he is slipping into a contradictory and Peronist vision, a schizophrenia that clashes with the very idea of mercy that is so widespread and followed. [...] Certain assertions, if they fall on weak or uninformed groups, are dangerous and have deleterious effects. We risk emptying the churches even more."
