Oscar Andres Cardinal Rodriguez Maradiaga, S.D.B. is the Archbishop of Tegucigalpa in Honduras and Cardinal-Priest of Santa Maria della Speranza. He is often touted as one of Pope's Francis' closest advisers. You hardly hear a peep about him nowadays, but when he was considered to be a potential Papal successor to Pope Benedict XVI two years ago, the gloves came off. Let's take a closer look at this very influential cleric. Also, this is a good opportunity to vindicate all of us who are often falsely called 'anti-Semitic.' The Vatican condemns anti-Semitism, yet this proves that they themselves have been accused of it and have refuted - or in this case seemingly ignored- the hysterical charge. There is much more information on the Cardinal after these two quotes from the ADL and Dershowitz. But first let's go two years back and see what Alan Dershowitz had to say about him: "To put it most simply, Rodriguez Maradiaga is an out and out Jew-hater." Please note that the Jews themselves have admitted that this smear of 'anti-semite' is a well known 'trick' imposed on anyone who is ever critical of Israel or Jews. LibertyFight.com in no way agrees with the Zionist ADL or Dershowitz. As a matter of fact, myself and my website LibertyFight.com were falsely touted by leading Israeli newspaper Haaretz as 'the new anti-semitism' in 2013. But I thought it was interesting that in 2015, no one seems to be aware that one Pope Francis leading advisers has been criticized in such a manner in the past - particularly since Pope Francis seems to be known for being particularly close to the Jews. In the op-ed Will a Notorious Anti-Semite Become The Pope? By Alan Dershowitz in Jewish World Review, Dershowitz wrote, in part, "If Cardinal Rodriguez Maradiaga were to be elected pope, much of the good work done by recent popes in building bridges between the Catholic Church and the Jews would be endangered. Among those being considered to succeed Pope Benedict XVI is a notorious anti-Semite, Cardinal Andres Rodriguez Maradiaga of Honduras. ...He is very charismatic and popular in his home country and was recently invited to speak to Latino Catholics in the United States. To put it most simply, Rodriguez Maradiaga is an out and out Jew-hater. He has said that "the Jews" are to blame for the scandal surrounding the sexual misconduct of priests toward young parishioners! The Jews? How did Rodriguez Maradiaga ever come up with this hair-brained idea? Here is his "logic." He begins by asserting that the Vatican is anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian (as he says it should be). It follows, therefore, that "the Jews" had to get even with the Catholic Church, while at the same time deflecting attention away from Israeli injustices against the Palestinians. The Jews managed to do this by arranging for the media - which he says they control - to give disproportionate attention on the Vatican sex scandal. Listen to Rodriguez Maradiaga's own words: "It certainly makes me think that in a moment in which all the attention of the mass media was focused on the Middle East, all the many injustices done against the Palestinian people, the print media and the TV in the United States became obsessed with sexual scandals that happened 40 years ago, 30 years ago. Why? I think it's also for these motives: What is the church that has received Arafat the most times and has most often confirmed the necessity of the creation of a Palestinian state? What is the church that does not accept that Jerusalem should be the indivisible capital of the State of Israel, but that it should be the capital of the three great monotheistic religions?" Rodriguez Maradiaga then goes on to compare the Jewish controlled media with "Hitler," because they are "protagonists of what I do not hesitate to define as a persecution against The Church." ...But that didn't matter to the bigoted cardinal, who -- along with other classic anti-Semites -- believes that if there is a problem, "the Jews" must be to blame for it. As James Carrol, the distinguished columnist for the Boston Globe who is himself a Catholic, has characterized Rodriguez Maradiaga's "crackpot" mindset: "when the church has a problem - here is the oldest move of all - blame the Jews." When asked whether he wanted to reconsider his attack, Rodriguez Maradiaga replied: "I don't repent... sometimes it is necessary to shake things up." He later promised Abe Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League that he wouldn't repeat his conspiratorial nonsense, but he has refused to publicly apologize or "repent."
