Papal Apology

According to Pope Francis the conduct of the Church in regard to the Waldenses has been not only non-Christian but also non-human; in other words inhumane. For this reason he feels it necessary and urgent to apologize from the bottom of his heart. In so doing however he is creating a huge rift (with his Church past) and a double antagonistic effect (with his Church past and present) because while trying to befriend the Waldenses he antagonizes and infuriates his predecessors—starting with Innocent III (one of those responsible for the Waldenses’ excommunication) to Pius IX excommunicating the entire modern world not to mention his own founder St. Ignatius of Loyola whose principal aim in founding the Jesuit Order was to combat the Protestant Reformation.
