Javier Milei, who is very likely to be elected president of Argentina in the October election, is fairly frank in his view of Pope Francis, a fellow Argentine.Even for a ranter like Milei, who ranks very high on the Trump scale of invective, that’s rare praise.
Pope Francis gives as good as he gets. Last week, he called the U.S. branch of the church “backward,” accusing right-wing American Catholics of replacing faith with ideology. So, just another version of the ever-present culture war, except that both sides are wearing ecclesiastical vestments. I was traveling around the continent interviewing people for a radio series on the new Catholic Church. I’m not a believer, but I had managed to win the Jesuits’ confidence. When I got to Argentina, my Jesuit contacts were two young priests living in a church-owned house in one of the poorest villas miserias in Buenos Aires.
Father Bergoglio, of course, later became Pope Francis. He was the head Jesuit in Argentina at the time and a determined enemy of liberation theology — so much that the young priests suspected him of collaborating with the junta and probably knowing that they were on the junta’s kill list.
He condemns the “obsession” of some Catholics with issues like “abortion, gay marriage and the use of contraceptive methods” and welcomes transgender Catholics in the church, but he says gender transitioning is a sin and strongly criticizes gender studies, calling it “one of the most dangerous ideological colonizations today.”
