Pope
Francis said his conservative critics within the Roman
Catholic Church in the United States are trapped in a
"suicidal attitude," according to an interview with CBS.
During the April 24 interview with "60
Minutes" that aired
Sunday, Francis was asked his thoughts on the conservative backlash against his
papacy, with many of his critics being American clergy members.
Francis responded by saying a conservative is someone who "clings to
something and does not want to see beyond that."
"It is a suicidal attitude," the pontiff said.
"Because one thing is to take tradition into account, to consider
situations from the past, but quite another is to be closed up inside a
dogmatic box."
Francis has clashed with the conservative wing almost since he was elected as
head of the church in 2013.
Moves conservatives have opposed include papal attempts to make the church more
welcoming to the LGBT
community and to give lay people more responsibility in the church.
When
asked during the interview about his decision to allow priests to bless
same-sex couples, the pope replied that the church cannot actually bless the
union, as it is against church teaching, but they can bless the individual.
"The
blessing is for everyone — for everyone. To bless a homosexual-type union,
however, goes against the given rite, against the law of the church. But to
bless each person, why not? The blessing is for all. Some people were
scandalized by this, but why? Everyone, everyone."
Francis
replied when asked about his being more open and accepting than his
predecessors that "you have to be open to everything. The church is like
that. Everyone, everyone, everyone. That so-and-so is a sinner. Me, too. I am a
sinner. Everyone.
"The
gospel is for everyone. If the church places a customs officer at the door,
that is no longer the church of Christ. Everyone."
Francis
last year dismissed a conservative U.S. bishop who was a withering critic of
his papacy and said the conservative wing in the U.S. church was
"reactionary." He also stripped a conservative American cardinal of
some Vatican privileges.
When
asked about the state of Texas potentially shutting down a Catholic
charity on
the U.S.-Mexico border that gives humanitarian aid to
migrants, Francis replied that it is "sheer madness."
"To
close the border and leave them there, that is madness. The migrant has to be
received. Thereafter you see how you're going to deal with them. Maybe you have
to send them back. I don't know. But each case ought to be considered humanely,
right?"
Regarding
surrogacy, Pope Francis said that "in each case, the situation should be
carefully and clearly considered, consulting medically and then morally as
well. I think there is a general rule in these cases, but you have to go into
each case in particular to assess the situation — as long as the moral
principle is not skirted."
