Bergoglio’s letter to his childhood sweetheart: “If you don’t marry me I’ll become a priest”

Francis’s first love, Amalia Damonte claims he sent her a picture of a little white house where he apparently wanted them to live together”

Amalia was Pope Francis’ childhood sweetheart. Now she is retired and still lives in the neighbourhood where she and the current Holy Father grew up together. “He always joked around but he was a gentleman. Our families tore us apart” as their parents were Italian immigrants (from the Italy’s northern Piedmont region) with good principles and insisted the two were still too young for love.

Amalia, what does it feel like to have been the first and only woman in a Pope’s life?

“We were just kids! Our relationship was entirely innocent.”

How old were you when you met?

“We grew up together, but I started seeing him more of him when we turned 12.”

When did you get to spend time together? At school?

“No – she laughs –back then boys and girls followed different courses. Jorge (the Pope is till Jorge to her) lived there with his parents and two brothers (she points to a little villa with burgundy-coloured tiles in Buenos Aires’ Flores neighbourhood, where the Pope spent his early years).”

What was your childhood like Amalia?

“It was very peaceful and calm. Times were different back then. We played on the pavements and in the nearby parks mostly.”

And you grew fond of each other?

“Yes, we started to spend all our afternoons together.”

Do you think he felt the vocation as early as then?

“I think so. Once he said to me: ‘If I can’t marry you, I’ll become a priest!’ so he had definitely mulled the idea over in his head. But it took a year or so before he took a decision.”

      Oh so it ain’t that the employee of the Vatican Nazi Bergoglio is a spiritual ruler because God has made him a watcher of souls, but rather a scorned man who became a priest because a woman didn’t want him. :lol: :lol: :lol:

      Other men become priests because they are gay. Priests are mentally ill, they are not of God and no one who obeys Christ wants to be called a pastor, priest, etc. because Christ says all who obey him are brethren (Matthew 23:8-10).

      Screw that system of lay people with spiritual rulers over them and the lay pay for their enslavement, idiots (Hebrews 13:17, Romans 15:27). Wake up any one who does Love the Lord and is still attending churches, there is NO ALTAR for Gentiles. Read John 4:21-23, yo Christ what about all the altars that Pharisee Paul started, ain’t they where the Father is worshiped? How come Christ says NOT ANYTHING of the legions of Gentile altars? It’s because none of those altars are of God, they were started by a freaking Pharisee (Hebrews 13:10). The Pharisees sold Gentiles an altar, a Eucharist and a legion of fools like Nazi Bergoglio who love to hold spiritual offices over people.
