Archbishop Victor Manuel "Tucho" Fernández,
the Pope's closest theological adviser and first named bishop,
(fabulously efficient) Rector of the Catholic University of Argentina,
member of the original 6-liberal Synod drafting commission
This remarkable man granted an interview on the Synod to Elisabetta Piqué, of La Nación, in which he said the following, among other pearls of wisdom:
"There was only a group of six or seven fanatics, somewhat aggressive, who didn't represent even 5% of the total [of the Synod Fathers]." ... "If we don't open up Pandora's box, what is done is hiding the dirt under the rug." ... "Perhaps we missed saying, at the very least, with Pope Francis: 'who are we to judge gays?' "
Who are we, indeed?...

Desdén
El día que comparezca
ante el tribunal de Dios
a dar cuenta de mi vida
que me complicaste vos....
El día que francamente
tenga yo que declarar
la verdad pura y palpable
que a Dios no puede escapar.
Y le diga que he faltado
a su ley de mala fe
al hacer de vos mi culto
¡al amarte más que a Él! ...

Disdain
On the day when I appear
before the court of God
to give account of my life
that you made complicated…
That day on which I
frankly have to declare
the pure and palpable truth
that can’t escape God.
And tell Him I didn’t keep
his law, out of bad faith,
by making you my [object of] worship
by loving you more than Him! ...
