Hands Off Pope Francis ! 3rd Clash in a Row v. Christians' faith on BioEthical Values ?..

*Strasbourg/Angelo Marcopolo/- For a 3rd Time in a Row, controversial Politicians (including Foreign Interferences, as from an USA's Establishment, etc) Clashed with Catholic Christians and other People up to the level of the Pope, apparently taken even personaly as Target of Attacks by a Shameless Lobby of Dark Interests. But enough is enough : Nobody is going to be fuled again in a probable Dirty War, skipping Open Dialogue and Crystal-clear Democratic Debate, to the Detriment of People's elementary Human Rights and Freedoms !
In Brief, to put it in a Nutshell :
- Already John-Paul II had been practicaly pushed to Death, by a "Coincidence", just After Succeeding to Boost, at New York, a landmark UNO's General Assembly Resolution against all forms of Human Clonning by doubtful Genetic Manipulations, as early as Since 2004-2005, and while he was, as it seems, Expected to re-Visit EU and CoE Institutions in Europe, apparently including on relevant Topical Issues of BioEthics.
+ This was Followed, since 2009 up to 2012, apparently by a Series of various Aggresions, Initialy against his successor (and former Long-Time close Colaborator), now Pope Emerite Benedict XVI, Starting just After a Delicate Meeting with Former POTUS Barack Hussein Obama, Soon after his Controversial 1st Measure : to Allow Genetic Manipulations on Human Embryos, (that his Predecessor, former US President GWBush had Promised and kept Twice Prohibited), when Benedict just Published his Encyclic "Caritas in Veritatis", with a Stern Warning against Dengers to Humanity by possible Abuses of such Technologies : Immediately Afterwards he was even Physicaly Hit 2 Times in UnPrecedented Incidents, once by allegedly Falling overNight (sic !) and Seriously Wounding his Right Hand, to which was Added, Only 1,5 Month Later, Also by a Physical Assault from an apparently Mentaly Unstable Person during a Mass, (which was So Violent that it threw him on the Ground and Broke the Leg Bones of an important French Cardinal, who was Hospitalized). This was Soon Followed, from 2010, by an, also UnPrecedented, Notorious Big and systematic Slandering of the Catholic Church, at an International level, about alleged, Fake, EZxagerated or Real alleged Abuses of Children or Young Men in the Past ... Decades : including 30, 40 or even More Years ago, (while, on the Contrary, Similar Problems in various Other Organisations (f.ex. Education, Politics, Economy, Medias, Sport, etc., were, Curiously, Ignored or Downgraded)... Finaly, a mainly 2011-2012 Direct Series of Harsh Personal Threats and/or Attacks against Benedict hjimself, Covert, Leaked or Apparent, (Including alleged Plots to Brutaly Oust or Neutralize him), Ceased Only with his Surprizing Retirement (Officialy attributed to "Health" reasons) on 2013... But Even Afterwards, around 2019, when was Published a New Biographical Book including Conversations with a Journalist, Excetionaly, its Translations were either Hindered or Curtailed, Skipping the Post-2009 Events on BioEthics, etc., to the point that he Denounced Attempts to Muzzle him, mainly Because he was "Opposed to the artificial Fabrication of Humans in Labos", ... (See, inter alia, Also, f.ex.: http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/massforeurope.html + http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/lombardionbenedictcontacts.html, + http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/benedicthealthandbioethics.html, etc).
++ His successor, current Pope Francis, who has Chosen a Symbolic Name in reference to Saint Francis of Assisi, "Patron of Ecology" according to John-Paul II, including Natural Environment, Plants, Animals, etc, and Pleaded from the outset for a "profound respect for the entire Creation", as he stressed since the 1st week of his election, both to the Press and Ambassadors at the Vatican, (16 - 22 March 2013), making a landmark call "to pay special attention to the most Important issue of Respect for Human Life from the moment of Conception", in order "to guarantee Embryos' legal Protection, safeguarding everyz Human being from the very first moment of his or her existence", and inviting to join Vatican's relevant activities all "those who have at heart the Defence of the Sacred Nature of Human Life", when he made Also some Landmark Statements in favor of the UnBorn Children's Lives, after a Visit of a Symbolic Monument in South Korea ("Garden of Unborn Children"), on 2014. just a few Days after he was handed a "1st Draft" on his forthcoming Encyclic on Environment : "Not an Easy issue", "Because (of) the Protection of Creation, and the ... Human Ecology", where he intends to "go to the Essence" of things, as he anounced at his Return Trip back from South Korea to the Vatican on August 18, Suddenly, by a surprising, Tragic coincidence, a Deadly Incident, only a few Hours later, (overNight towards early Tuesday, August 19), in his Bithplace Argentina, brutaly Killed the Wife and two Children (a Baby aged just 8 Months and a 2 years old kid) of his deceased Brother's Son, Emmanuel Horacio Bergoglio, who was seriously injured and operated in a Hospital, after his car was crushed by a Heavy Truck, coming from "Cordoba" Region, where a Collective of People supported by the Local Christian Community etc. had just won the 1st part of a Legal Struggle against notorious USA Multinational Company "Monsanto"'s plan to start producing there some "Genetically Modified" Corn Seeds, whose GMOs were accused for Risks to eventually provoke "Cancers" and even "Genetic Mutations", "Abortions", etc. mainly against Pregnant Women and their Embryos, in an affair estimated up to 5 Billions $, (See, f.ex.: http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/peopleandbishopsonnaturalfamily.html, etc).
-------------------------------
>>> And Nowadays, on 4 July 2021, Pope Francis, just after Exceptionaly sending his Vatican's "Prime Minister" (State Secretary) to the CoE in Strasbourg, Including on BioEthics, (See : Reply to "Eurofora"s Question at a Press Conference in : http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/vaticanpmparolintoefonbioethicsandeurope.html, etc), at the Same Time that in a Landmark "Angelus" at Rome He Called to "be Open to Novelty, Open to God's Surprizes", even "when God may be Hidden in a Simple Man", as well as to "Please, doN't Forget to Pray for Me", and Announced a Forhcoming Visit to Hungary together with (a longer in) in Slovakia, the 1st on the occasion of the "International Eucharistic Congress", allowing to Meet with embattled Prime Minister Victor Orban, (a strong Defensor of Human Embryo against Genetic Manipulations, but currenly Attacked by a Part of EU Bureaucrats on a Law against Homosexual + TransSexual Propaganda to underage Children, making EU Commission Delay Recovery Funds, Needed also for Public Health Measures Saving Human Lives, After having Earlier Delayed even ...EU-Authorized Vaccines, Obliging Hungary to use Russian and Chinese Vaccines, which Helped spectacularly Restrict the Virus recently : See f.ex. at http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/coeslamsviruspassrisks.html + http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/loiliberticideimpassesanitaire.html, etc).

+This was Added right in the Middle of a "Hot" Dispute with the Current Minority Government of the "Left" in Italy, on a Controversial Draft Law about Alleged "HomoPhobia", Threatening to Heavily Oppress mainly Christian Catholic and other People, in particular Private Schools Obliged to Study Homosexuality and Trens-Gender activities, Even to Organize Annual Days for their Promotion vis-a-vis Young underage Children, while Also it Risks to Impose Criminal Sanctions, including Long Prison Sentences for Years, on any Citizens who might dare Speak Against such Sexual Deviations of LGBT, (Recently Exploited by some Technocrats Pushing to Massive Artificial Procreations of Children by Labos, for Shady Interests).
That Controversial Italian Minority Government, (Opposed by a Clear Majority of Voters from the Right and the Center, according to All Polls, But Backed by a "Socialist" President and the Remnants of MPs of a "Left" whose Mandate was Artificialy Extended), reportedly Accused the Christian Catholic Church to seek to "Impose Laws by the Cardinals" (sic !), as Claimed the current Prime Minister Draghi, a former ECB Chair and Economist, (See unrelated Draghi's Statements to "Eurofora", f.ex. at : http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/ecbpresidentinterestedinbrics.html + .., etc), while, in Fact, Catholics (particularly in their Schools) mostly Protect Poor and/or Fragile People's Families with Children... And that Row Surfaced when some Newspapers Found and Published an initialy "Confidential Diplomatic Observation", Discreetly send by the Vatican's Foreign Minister, ArchiBishop Paul Gallagher, (who has Often Visited the CoE in Strasbourg : See his Statements also to "Eurofora" a.o., f.ex. at : http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/coevaticanonhumanrightsuniversality.html, etc), Simply reminded a Legal Treaty between Rome and the Holy See Guaranteeing Respect of Democratic Freedoms and Human Rights, which Risked Now to be Curtailed in Vaticans' Private Schools and/or among its Officials if they Dared Speak Out agains Homosexuality and/or TranSexuality Propaganda vis a vis underage Children... In order to Bring that Row in its Real Proportions and Substance, Vatican's Prime Minister Parolin Explained that that the Only Part of that Controversial Draft Law which Worries the Holy See are its "Too Large" Descriptions of Statements or Measures that Risk to Face UnJustified and Excssive Oppression, (Comp. Supra) to the Detriment of Democratic Liberties (including Religious Ideas), Freedom of Speach, Family life, and Other Human Rights, (Despite the Fact that the Francis has been, Notoriusly, often Criticized for being Kind vis a vis LBGT Persons).
*** Unfortunately, it's in Such a particularly "Hot" Context that Pope Francis, a usualy solid man, was led to, Exceptionaly, Enter a Hospital, that same Sunday Evening of July 4, 2021, Initialy for a "Simple Endoscopy", reportedly due to Look at the eventual causes of a possible lenient Medical Issue, Hoping to Get Back to His Duties well Before the Next "Angelus" (of July 11). But, on the Contrary, He was, UnExpectedly, ...Operated, with a quite Heavy and Delicate Medical Intervention of Chirurgy, and, in Consequence, Kept Inside that Hospital much Longer than Expected, to the point that he was Obliged to speak for the Next "Angelus" from the Balcon of his Patient's Room, (the Same that Late John-Paul II had used in the Past),
reportedly Holding or Leaning Always on a Table or elsewhere, and Days Afterwards Circulating with Help or a Wheeling Chair... In the Meantime, an oscure Italian Journalist and, particularly, an American Religious Official, (notorious Electoral Backer of "Socialist" POTUS Biden, who had Imposed the Controversial "Same Sex Marriage" Together with Former POTUS Barack Hussein Obama in the Past, Both inside USA and Other Countries in the World, Recently Added to his own Moves in Favor of "Trans-Gender" Individuals, during the Latest, 2020 Conroversial US Elections, etc), was reported by the Establishment's "Washington Times", to have Pessimisticaly Claimed that Such Developments would Show that Pope Francis' era may have arrived Towards its "End" (sic !)... (See: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/jul/13/thomas-reese-pope-francis-papacy-final-phase/, etc).
However, the above-Mentioned Controversial and Excessively Oppressive Italian Draft Law (Comp. Supra), after Barely "Surviving" a formal Vote to be "Postponed", (with Only 136 Votes Against 135 !), and Facing More than ...1.000 Amendments tabled by the Opposition, (which Holds a Large Majoriy of Voters among the Italian People, according to All Polls), was Finaly Droped by the Senate for Now, and Send to its Next Session, on Autumn, (when it reportedly May be Definitively Abandoned or Seriously Restricted)... [UPDATE 1] And, Meanwhile, Pope Francis spoke at the Next "Angelus" in the Vatican, Apparently Standing, Now, withOut any Help, Referring to "Saint Benedict, Patron of Europe", which, as he "Hope(s), May be United on its Founding Values", as he said After more than 16 Political Parties accross EU Member States, (including France, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Spain, Belgium, Austria, Finland, etc) notoriously Published a Joint Declaration, (Supported Also by Germans, Swedish, etc) on the occasion of the current EU's "Conference on Europe's Future" (2021-2022), Pointing at the "Judeo-Christian Roots of Europe", as well as at (Natural) "Family" values, (i.e. between a Man and a Woman, according Even to CoE's PanEuropean Convention on Human Rights, Article 12), etc., Including, for the 1st Time, not only Rightists, but Also former Long-Time Christian-Democrat/EPP Groups, that Might, Eventualy, be Later Joined even by the current EU Chair-in-office Slovenia, etc, [UPDATE 2]...
+ Almost at the Same Time, Pope Francis also just Published Full Details on his Forthcoming joint Trips to Hungary and (longer) Slovakia, during September 12-15, which reveals a very Busy Agenda [UPDATE 3], while, in addition, Confirming his Wish to Visit, After a landmark Trip to Iraq, even the embattled and suffering Lebanon asap, (Comp., f.ex. : http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/patriarchsakoorientceoonpopeiraqtrip.html + http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/usaturkeyaddtoiranconcerninpopeiraqtrip.html, ..., http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/maronitepatriarchraitoefonlebanoncrisis.html, etc)...

Recent developments proved that Europe can suceed to overcome challenges by aiming at great objectives, and this is needed also in 2009, said EU chairman, French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
- "It's in the name of Great Ideas, Projects, Ambition and Ideals, that EU can overcome" challenges, stressed Sarkozy at EU Parliament in Strasbourg, in conclusion of a dense 7 months EU Chairmanship. "It's even easier for Europe to have Great projects, able to overcome national egoism, instead of limiting itself only to small projects" (unable to do alike), he observed.
- "Europe must remain Ambitious and understand that the World needs her to take Decisions". "The World needs a Strong Europe", which "thinks on its own, has convictions, its own responses, its imagination" : "A Europe which does not limit itself into following" others, (as it did in the Past, when it followed USA, f.ex. on Bosnia). On the contrary, "Europe should undertake its own responsibilities", he said, after a series of succes in stopping the War between Russia and Georgia, and organizing the 1st EuroZone's Summit in Paris, which incited the Washington DC G-20 Summit to extend similar decisions World-wide.
- "When you sweep it all under the carpet, prepare yourself for hard tomorrows", he warned. "What hinders decisions is the lack of Courage and Will, the fading away of Ideals", he stressed before EU Parliament's 2008 debate on Human Rights and Sakharov prize on Freedom of thought attributed by MEPs to Chinese cyber-dissident Hu Jia, followed by an EU - Turkey meeting on Friday.
- "I don't abandon my convictions" and "I will take initiatives" on EU level also in 2009, Sarkozy announced later. "France will not stop having convictions and taking initiatives" on Europe. + "It's an Error to wish to pass over the Heads of those who are elected in their Countries" : "It's an integrism I always fought against"', he warned.
---------------------
French EU Presidency faced 4 unexpected Crisis :
- An institutional crisis, with the Irish "No" to EU Lisbon Treaty, just before it started. A geopolitical crisis, wth the threat of War between Russia and Georgia risking to throw Europe back to Cold-war divisions, on August. A World-wide Financial and Economic crisis, arriving at a bad moment before crucial 2009 EU elections. And even a Strasbourg's mini-crisis, with EU Parliament's roof curiously falling down, from unknown reasons, in a brand new building on August, provoking an unprecedented transfert of the 2 September Plenary Sessions...
But it wasn't enough to stop Sarkozy ! On the contrary, it stimulated him...
---------------------------------------
- "The better way to deal with the recent problems of EU institutions (as the "3 NO" by France, the Netherlands and Ireland) is to take them as a "Test" in order to find solutions closer to Citizens' concerns", said later in Strasbourg Sarkozy's new choice as Ministe for EU affairs, Bruno Le Maire.
- On the Institutional front, Sarkozy gave Time to the Irish to think about it, and stroke on December a deal including a New Referendum after the June 2009 EU Elections, in exchange of a promise to keep the rule of "one EU Commissioner for each EU Member Country", and some opt-outs on Defence and Fiscal EU policies, Abortion, etc. If the Irish get a "Yes" Majority, then the institutional package could be completed in 2010 or 2011 on the occasion of Croatia's probable EU accession.
He was accused in Strasbourg to upgrade EU Council and downgrade EU Commision, but he replied that "strong Political initiatives by EU Council reinforce also the more technical role of EU Commission, under the political-technical leadership of its President", all 3 "working together with EU Parliament".
- But, meanwhile, Sarkozy energetically spearheaded an Historic 1st Summit of EuroZone's 15 Heads of State and Government at EU's core, exceptionally enlarged to a partial participation of British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, on October 12 in Paris' Elysee palace, which started to tackle succesfully the growing world Financial crisis.
It also paved the way for its endorsement by a subsequent Brussels' 27 EU Member States' gathering, before it all come to Washington's G-20 Summit. And "Europe was united, it asked for the 1st G-20 Summit, and it will also organise the next G-20 Summit on April in London", he observed.
But a Conference with EU, Russia, African and other Developing Countries, hosted in Strasbourg shortly after Washington G-20 Summit by the French EU Presidency, took a Resolution asking to enlarge participation to Global Economic Governance. Many found, indeed, illogic and unacceptable that f.ex. states as Turkey were given a seat at G-20 level, while all African Countries, and even the African Union itself, representing the greatest Continent on Earth, were excluded...
Meanwhile, even USA''s "Paulson No 3" Plan, was, in fact, inspired by Europe's No 1 Plan", Sarkozy observed, largelly applauded by MEPs.
And "Europe showed Solidarity" by mobilizing some 22 Billion credit for Hungary, 1,7 billion for Ukraine, as we do nowadays for Baltic States, etc., he added.
The move on Economy was extended on December by an EU stimulus' plan totalling some 200 billion Euros, including 5 Billions released by EU Commission for big Projects, as well as various parallel National plans for Economic revival, (fex. 26 billions in France alone). They might appear limited, compared to USA President-elect Obama's reported plan to boost the American economy with 800 billion $, but at least succeded to overcome Europe's divisions for the first time on Economic governance, opening new horizons.
- The French President stressed even harder the unique role of an active EU Council's chairmanship, when he moved swiftly and efficiently, at the beginning of August, to succesfully stop War between Russia and Georgia, at the last minute, which threatened to bring Europe back to Cold War division.
"We (EU) also wanted to avoid a situation like in Bosnia, in the Past, when EU was absent, so that our American friends took their responsibilitues, and EU only followed", despite the fact that the conflict took place in Europe. Now, it was the EU who took its responsibilities".
A roadmap towards a new PanEuropean Security policy, before which all unilateral moves to place new Missiles (from USA or Russia) would be freezed, was proposed by Sarkozy after a meeting with Russian president Medvedev, at the eve of Washington DC's G-20 Summit.
Ukraine's "European" character was stressed at a Sarkozy - Jushenko Summit, September in Paris, while EU adopted on December an "Eastern policy", in which, "I'm convinced that our (EU's) future is to find with our Neighbours the conditions for Economic Development. Peace and Security, by explaining them that.. they must respect (Human Rights') Values, and adopt behaviors different from the Past", explained Sarkozy in Strasbourg.
Meanwhile, the "Union for the Mediterranean" was created, since July's Summit if 45 Heads of State and Government in Paris, as "an organisation for a permanent Dialogue, that we need", mainly in order to tackle the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, by bringing together, for the 1st time, Israelis and Arabs, where "Europe must be present, in order to avoid a frontal clash".
- "If Europe doesn't take its part for Peace in the Middle-East, nobody else will do that in our place", Sarkozy stressed.
-----------------------
Meanwhile, other EU Agreements were brokered during the French EU Presidency on Immigration, (fex. common Asylum rules, etc), and Climat- Energy :
- On Climat-Energy, the 2007 German EU Presidency had fixed a triple 20% aim for 2020 (20% renewable Energies, 20% reduction of CO2 emmission, 20% energy efficience/economies), and the 2008 French EU Presidecny realized that, making the necessary compromises in order to modernize EU's industry, but without throwing some former Central-Eastern European Countries into abrupt Economic break down risking "social explosion".
- Defence-Security EU policy was mainly postponed for April 2009, since both German chancellor Merkel and French president Sarkozy want to strike a deal with the new American president Obama in Strasbourg's NATO Summit.
However, with all these 4 unexpected Crisis diverting attention to other urgencies, People wil wonder now, what happened to the famous deal proposed by freshly-elected French President Sarkozy on Turkey's controversial EU bid, back on August 2007, to continue EU - Turkey negotiations, but on the double condition that core chapters, intrinsequally linked with EU Membership, will be excluded, and that a collective Reflexion and Debate on Europe's future would start before the end of 2008.
It was meant to reply to the crucial question : What kind of Europe do we want in 10 or 20 Years from now : A large Market, or a Political Europe, with a popular identity ? In Sarkozy's thinking, presented in his 2 landmark speeches on Europe in Strasbourg, shortly before and after the 2007 Elections, (on February and July 2007), Turkey's controversial EU bid would be incompatible with the second choice.
It's true that EU Commision's Chairman, Jose Barroso, (who had notoriously declared, as former Portuguese Prime Minister, that he found "nonsense" the idea that Europe might become equal to the US), had repeatedly tried to avoid that Sarkozy's criticism on Turkey might start winning a larger audience in Europe, preferring a discrete "wismens' committee" work. And that most of the personalities later chosen in order to participate in a Committee on Europe's Future, are too much linked with Socialist parties and/or American policies, to be really critical of USA's notorious wish to impose Turkey to the EU, as Sarkozy had noted himself since March 2007..
- "It's on EU Council's presidency to take political initiatives. EU Commission has other competences", stressed Sarkozy. The "European Ideal" is to "build Europe with the States, not against them". "Ask Europeans to chose between their countries and Europe won't work. You don't choose between your two parents : We must add them together".
"France and Germany have an Historic Duty to work together, precisely because of what happened to the Past. We have to work hand by hand. We cannot be separated.It goes beyond me and Mrs Merkel today, Mr Schroeder and Mr. Chirac yesterday. It's not a choice, it's a duty to Europe and to the World". "We need Germany, as Germany needs Europe". Compromise is inevitable, here as everywhere, and each one made some steps towards eachother's positions.
But "it's true that Mrs Merkel didn't chose her Socialist partners, while I chose mine", Sarkozy said, in an indirect hint that the Socialist Minister of Finance in Germany might be a cause of minor past disagreements in Economy, which were overcome in recent negotiations.
"We (France and Germany) have particular duties in Europe", but "in a Europe of 27 Member States, it's not enough for France and Germany to agree between them.
"I always thought that Great Britain has a special role to play in Europe. ... Now, everybody "saw what it cost payed the UK for having been too exclusively open towards the US (and) Financial services. Europe needs the UK, but also the UK needs Europe" :- "We were able to face the hardest moment of the Financial crisis because the UK clearly chose Europe", stressed Sarkozy, reminding Gordon Brown's exceptional participation to the Historic 1st Heads of State/Government Summit of EuroZone, October 12 in Paris (See EuroFora's Reportage from Elysee Palace then).
- "Some look at Europe with old glasses aged 30 years ago. While we must look at her in relation to what it will be in 30 years" in the Future, Sarkozy concluded.
