<DIV><FONT face=Arial>This article states in part:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT face="Times New Roman">Perhaps the most insightful
take on all this came from Lombardi himself, who said we're seeing the emergence
of a whole new genre of papal speech -- informal, spontaneous, and sometimes
entrusted to others in terms of its final articulation. A new genre, Lombardi
suggested, needs a "new hermeneutic," one in which we don't attach value so much
to individual words as to the overall sense.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">"This isn't Denzinger," he said, referring to
the famous German collection of official church teaching, "and it's not canon
law."</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">"What the pope is doing is giving pastoral
reflections that haven't been reviewed beforehand word-for-word by 20
theologians in order to be precise about everything," Lombardi said. "It has to
be distinguished from an encyclical, for instance, or a post-synodal apostolic
exhortation, which are magisterial documents."</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Implicit in that reaction is that the pope is
probably going to continue to shoot from the hip, and sometimes he'll allow
voices outside the narrow circle of authorized spokespersons to tell the world
what he said, trusting them to get the gist of it and perhaps not sweating the
details. Trying to put every line or every anecdote under a microscope in those
circumstances may be a waste of time.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">If the pope wants to express himself formally
and with precision, Lombardi implied, he has other ways of doing
</FONT>it.</P></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>AND</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Veteran Italian Vatican-watcher Andrea Tornielli, who has a personal
relationship with Francis predating his election, wrote Wednesday that he has
doubts about some lines attributed to the pope in the Scalfari interview,
including that Francis asked for a delay before accepting the papacy in order to
go into a small room to collect himself. As Tornielli correctly notes, there are
no small rooms immediately adjacent to the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica as
described by Scalfari, and in any event, cardinals who were there say the pope
accepted his election immediately.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>BUT</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>In the relevant portion of the interview, Scalfari asks Francis if he's
ever had a mystical experience. Here is the response as presented by <EM>La
Repubblica</EM>, concerning the moments immediately after he was elected to the
papacy:</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>
<P>"<FONT face="Times New Roman">My head was completely empty and I was seized
by a great anxiety. To make it go way and relax I closed my eyes and made every
thought disappear, even the thought of refusing to accept the position, as the
liturgical procedure allows. I closed my eyes and I no longer had any anxiety or
emotion."</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">That experience, Francis suggests, gave him the
courage to accept the job and to forge ahead.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">It's an important insight because it helps
explain something that otherwise seems inexplicable: How to account for the
transformation that's come over Jorge Mario Bergoglio since he became Pope
Francis?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Consider that during his entire 15 years as the
archbishop of Buenos Aires, Bergoglio gave a grand total of five interviews. In
the seven months he's been pope, he's already done three, and they've all been
humdingers.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Journalists who covered Bergoglio in Argentina
report that he shunned the spotlight, and on those rare occasions when he did
have to appear in public, he often came off as formal and, some would say, a bit
boring. As pope, he's become a rock star. As archbishop and as president of the
bishops' conference in Argentina, Bergoglio was careful and measured in his
public declarations, while as pope he's letting it all hang out.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Back in April, </FONT><A
href="http://ncronline.org/node/48991" target=_blank><FONT
face="Times New Roman">I interviewed his sister</FONT></A><FONT
face="Times New Roman">, Maria Elena Bergoglio, and even she told me that
something was different about her brother since he took over the church's top
job.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Recently, I spoke to one of the cardinals who
elected Francis (not an American, by the way), who had been received by the pope
in a private audience. The cardinal told me he had said point-blank to Francis,
"You're not the same guy I knew in Argentina."</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">According to this cardinal, the pope's reply was
more or less the following: "When I was elected, a great sense of inner peace
and freedom came over me, and it's never left me."</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">In other words, Francis had a sort of mystical
experience upon his election to the papacy that's apparently freed him up to be
far more spontaneous, candid,and bold than at any previous point in his
career.</FONT></P>
