VATICANO (ACI Prensa) - Al hablar de los peligros de la idolatria, Francisco recordo que "en la antiguedad" se les "hacian sacrificios humanos", pero afirmo que tambien en la actualidad ocurre de alguna forma.
"Por la carrera se sacrifican los hijos, descuidandolos, o simplemente no teniendolos; la belleza requiere sacrificios humanos; la fama pide la inmolacion de si mismo, de la propia inocencia y autenticidad".
"Cuantas horas delante del espejo!", exclamo. "Algunas personas, algunas mujeres, cuanto tiempo tardan en maquillarse? Tambien esta es una idolatria. No es malo maquillarse, pero de forma normal, no para convertirse en una diosa".
"Los idolos piden sangre. El dinero roba la vida y el placer lleva a la soledad. Las estructuras economicas sacrifican vidas humanas para fines mayores. Pensemos en tanta gente son trabajo. Por que? Porque a veces sucede que los emprendedores de una empresa han decidido despedir a la gente para ganar mas dinero. El idolo del dinero. Se vive en la hipocresia, haciendo y diciendo lo que los otros se esperan, porque el dios de la propia afirmacion lo impone".
"Se estropean vidas, se destruyen familias y se abandonan a los jovenes en manos de modelos destructivos", denuncio tambien.
"Tambien la droga es un idolo. Cuantos jovenes arruinan su salud, pierden la vida, adorando a este idolo de la droga", dijo Francisco.
