Did the Cardinal say “I think of the ‘massacre of the innocents’. Children are dying in Gaza, their mothers’ shouts is a perennial cry, a universal cry”, or did he not say that?

Nope, he didn't say that. The Cardinal never uttered that sentence. It's the invention of the author of this despicable garbage. Where do the quotes begin? The Cardinal was speaking at the presentation to the press of the Pope's new book "The Infancy Narratives" which deals with the early part of Jesus' life. He gave a lengthy discourse - you can read it in Italian here where he says "....In this initial space, however, already are projected shadows and highlights later: Herod’s persecution by the massacre of innocents is reverberated by the blood of the cross, the whole of Jerusalem is shocked by the news of the birth of the child, as it will in the supreme act of the final rejection, the three days spent by Jesus in the temple seem to indicate the three days of the tomb, and the art of icons of Novgorod ...

So note that the entire sentence, context etc. are made-up, like the rest of the article

"Children are dying in Gaza, their mothers’ shouts is a perennial cry, a universal cry”,"

Do you deny that children are dying in Gaza? Do you deny that their mothers do not or should not grieve? Do you deny that the deaths of any child in a war is an injustice and that the Church or any church should not see justice?

Peace be with you.
