Francis' Highly Selective Quote of St Paul

Amusing that Francis 1 is using the same trickery and deceit that the "nooz" and most politicians use.

Pope Francis has once more issued strong criticisms of Catholics devoted to the traditional liturgy and practice of the Church, stating that the “incredible support for restorationism” is a “nostalgic disease.”...

...Addressing the Jesuits, Francis spoke about the “danger” of “indietrismo” or “going backwards,” which he said was in opposition to the Second Vatican Council....

Here's the key quotation from +Francis:

 ...There is incredible support for restorationism. What I call ‘indietrism,’ as the Letter to the Hebrews 10:39 says: ‘We, however, are not of those who turn back.’...

Oh, really?

Francis conveeeeeeeniently forgot about the first lines of that Chapter:

 ...Since the law has only a shadow of the good things to come,* and not the very image of them, it can never make perfect those who come to worship by the same sacrifices that they offer continually each year.a

2 Otherwise, would not the sacrifices have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, once cleansed, would no longer have had any consciousness of sins?
3 But in those sacrifices there is only a yearly remembrance of sins,b
4 for it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats take away sins...
 When St. Paul says 'we are not of those who turn back', he meant 'not turning back' to the Old Covenant:  Judaism.

People who adhere to the Old Rite Mass are not turning back to Judaism, are they?  Sacrificing bulls?

It's not surprising that Pope Francis lies by omission--but it is very disappointing.
