<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>
