Pope Francis Uses Gutter Language in Demanding All Sins Be Forgiven in Confessional

 

I think this has to be exaggerated and it is based on witness accounts rather than written sources.

But then, why does the pope so often speak extemporaneously like this? Quite possibly, so he can promote what he truly believes, and retain deniability should the orthodox object. The ambiguity that remains gives license to ignore the orthodox teaching.

In brief, Pope Francis seems to have cursed out any priest who withholds absolution in the confessional. Evil is not evil: only judgement is evil.

According to one seminarian, the Pope is reported to have invited them "not to be clerical, to forgive everything". More precisely, he is alleged to have added that "if we see that there is no intention to repent, we must forgive all. We can never deny absolution, because we become a vehicle for an evil, unjust, and moralistic judgement.”

This conforms to the postmodern doctrine that there really is no right and wrong. The important thing is to avoid feeling guilt. 

Given, however, that there is a right and a wrong, a priest is doing a penitent no favours in assuring them they are forgiven when they do not meet the criteria for forgiveness. This is a license to sin with abandon, in confidence that they can avoid spiritual consequences by regularly going to confession. And this, in turn, is a one-way ticket to that hot place. No refunds.
