The pope did not look happy about it.
the Pope said “this is not right”
Apparently Morales (who is basically an animist rather than a Catholic) felt that it would be well-received because it was a relic of some “liberation theology” bishop who was murdered in Ecuador during the cold war.

Who likes having his actions and beliefs represented by a religious object and have it presented to him while he’s in public? After all, Commies don’t like Christianity.
Look closely at some of the photos of the presentation of the crucifix to the Pope. Look at a medallion that the Pope is wearing; the medallion appears to bear an image identical to the carving.
Several photos show him smiling and very happy about it. He is also wearing a DUPLICATE of this blasphemous Communist Atheist crucifix around his neck in a medallion!
Save the photo and zoom in on Power Point or other means if you don't believe me.
And, from the article:
"His comments were largely drowned out by a flurry of camera clicks, prompting a flood of speculation. While some have claimed he expressed irritation, muttering the words eso no está bien (this is not right), Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said the pope was more likely to have uttered no sabía eso (I didnt know that) in bemusement at the origins of the present. From another article:
"However, Morales went on to explain that the gift is a replica of a carving that Spanish Jesuit priest, poet, and filmmaker Luis Espinal Camps made in the 1970s. Espinal was tortured and murdered in 1980 by the Bolivian dictatorship of the time; before the gift presentation the pope, a Jesuit himself, had prayed at the site where Espinal's body was found. A Vatican spokesman said that the pope was told that Espinal originally made the hammer-and-sickle crucifix in the spirit of dialogue between ideologies, not as an endorsement of Communism. He also said the pope didn't have a "particularly negative reaction" to the gift.
The Vatican spokesman who have been spinning this are LIARS! "The Pope had no reaction and this was a complete surprise." Not only is The FrankenPope False Prophet wearing the same blasphemy around his own neck, he stopped and prayed at the spot to honor the Marxist who was killed and had the original Marxist crucifix made.
I am expecting Mao images to be hanging in Vatican City any day.
What is bewildering about a Left wing hate monger, Pope? That is what socialists are and do.
They would roast you over a fire in the US, if they could get away with it. They hate Christians and they hate Christ. They use the power of the State to kill people when they can. That is what social justice is to leftists - death. No matter how “nice” you are, they want to make you feel bad and afraid and if they can, dead. Just like your pals the Islamists.
Really? He didn’t look happy to be given the very symbol he’s wearing around his neck?
