Here we go again.
It has been revealed that Papa Che lobbied hard for the presidential pardon granted to Oscar Lopez-Rivera, the Puerto Rican FALN terrorist who had deep ties to the Castro regime.
Yes, once again Papa Che has sided with unrepentant murderers.
He is redefining justice and mercy. No doubt about it.
But his redefinition amounts to no more than a reversal of some of the core values that have guided Christianity and Western Civilization for two millennia.
From The Federalist:
How Pope Francis Helped An Unrepentant Terrorist Get A Presidential Pardon
by Maureen Mularkey
On January 13, Robert González Nieves, archbishop of San Juan, revealed Pope Francis’ role in Barack Obama’s pardon of terrorist mastermind Oscar Lopez-Rivera. Speaking from the Cathedral of San Juan, Nieves announced that although the Holy Father made no public statement of his involvement, he had indeed worked behind the curtain on behalf of the unrepentant, bloody-handed Lopez-Rivera.The archbishop was pleased to say: “I know that there have been efforts made through diplomatic channels. The pope is very aware. We are grateful to the Holy Father for his support.” Papal complicity in this politically charged act received little notice in the English-language press. It deserved more.
What matters here is the pope’s part in an ideologically motivated pardon that was opposed by law enforcement and families scarred by Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional (FALN) bombs. But first, a brief recap of the Marxist-Leninist zealots whose boss earned sympathetic attention from Rome.
Lopez-Rivera’s command of FALN was never in doubt, never denied. Instead, he boasted: “I am an enemy of the United States’ government.” During the 1970s and ‘80s, FALN claimed credit for more than 100 bombings in New York, Washington, Chicago, and other cities. The lethal Fraunces Tavern bombing in 1975 is the best known and deadliest of them. The historic tavern, close to Wall Street, was a popular lunch spot in the financial district. FALN thugs took credit for having blown it up “with reactionary corporate executives inside.”

So what’s one more obscenity? He’s already thoroughly discredited except with those who’d have no problem with an act such as this, so he might as well gratify his urges, so to speak, and to hell with keeping up appearances. It’s too late for that anyway. Lord have mercy.
