Why was this sacrilegious and obscene picture selected? The L’Osservatore Romano editor explains: The illustration chosen for the editorial raises many questions because of its homosexual connotations. Our Lady was at the foot of the Cross, joining the Passion of her Divine Son and offering His sufferings and her own for the redemption of the human race, as Pope Pius XI exclaimed: “Oh! Mother of love and mercy, who were close to your sweet Son when consummating the redemption of mankind on the altar of the Cross, suffering with Him as co-redemptrix.” 5 Obscene and Sacrilegious Painting, a “Fruit of the Meditations” of Pope Francis She whom we try to comfort when praying the Stabat Mater: “At the Cross her station keeping, stood the mournful Mother weeping, close to her Son to the last.” 4 She whom the Church has wept with for 2,000 years. She whom we honor and venerate as Our Lady of Sorrows. Like her Divine Son, Mary Most Holy was forgotten. Having discussed him first, does the Vatican’s paper consider Judas to be the real “Protagonist of the Paschal Mystery”? Did it choose Maundy Thursday (not Good Friday) for this rehabilitation because that was when Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss in the Garden? No Place for Mary, the Co-Redemptrix of the Human Race
2 The real “Protagonist of the Paschal Mystery,” “the Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world” (John 1:29), was left out.Īs for Holy Saturday’s Protagonist, the paper headlined “the silence of Saturday and the announcement of the women”! 3

On Good Friday, the same “ Protagonist” series paid homage to Pontius Pilate, the cowardly and arrogant governor of the Roman province of Judea. Thus, under the general title “Featured today-Protagonists of the Paschal Mystery: Judas,” the newspaper devotes three pages to the traitor. Many of his readers, one would hope, were aghast at his choice: “For today, has fallen on the figure of Judas, the most tragic and disturbing character of the Gospels.” “There are so many characters who crowd the pages of the four Gospels… thus the choice is not easy.” Monda says he was perplexed at how difficult it had been to choose. The editorial by Andrea Monda, the newspaper’s editor, states that during Holy Week, L’Osservatore was going to address characters that emerge from the Gospels’ narratives at the “last moments of Jesus’s earthly life.” 1 Who Is the Real “Protagonist of the Paschal Mystery”? It shows a naked, resurrected Jesus, caressing the lifeless head of the traitor, Judas Iscariot, who is wearing nothing but a red loincloth (see link in Footnote 1). On Holy Thursday, April 1, L’Osservatore Romano, the Vatican’s daily newspaper, published a front-page editorial illustrated by an obscene and sacrilegious painting.
