What’s next? Will he open up St. Peter’s Basillica for interfaith ceremonies

Or perhaps a tango dance fundraiser?

"To commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Catholic presence in the neighborhood of Coghlan in Buenos Aires, its Archbishop, Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, promoted a tango Mass. It took place in Santa Maria de Los Angeles Parish run by the Capuchin Friars in the year 2008." http://traditioninaction.org/RevolutionPhotos/Images%20(501-600)/557-Tango-1.jpg

>>On behalf of Pope St. Pius X, the Vicar General of Rome Card. Basilio Pompili issued a Pastoral Letter in 1914 denouncing the tango as highly damaging to the soul. The Cardinal stated:<<

>>”The tango, which has already been condemned by illustrious Bishops and is prohibited even in Protestant countries, must be absolutely prohibited in the see of the Roman Pontiff, the centre of the Catholic religion.” He urged the clergy to courageously raise their voices “to defend the sanctity of Christian customs against the threatening danger and overwhelming immorality of the new paganism.” He also warned parents that if they do not protect their children from such corruption, they will be guilty before God of failing in their most sacred duties. (The New York Times, January 16, 1914)<<
