God Knows

Pope Francis has said that the Catholic Church should ask forgiveness of gays for how they have been treated by his church in the past ... see: Yahoo News Story. I'm confused ... is this pontiff  referring to how well Cardinal Law was pampered and protected after it was clear that he enabled hundreds if not thousands of little boys to be molested by American Catholic pedophile priests? Or is he referring to something else? Only God knows ...

Holy Meddler

Pope Francis is going to be addressing Congress on Sept. 24th and it is very likely that he will once again meddle in the internal affairs of the United States regarding our illegal immigration problem  ... see: Rollcall Article. This Pope continues to unveil his radical liberal views nurtured in that failed South American country, Argentina ... see: True Colors. To me, he seems more and more compelled to do something with his prominent facial appendage.

Maybe the United States should start telling this Pontiff about what he should be doing to revamp the Catholic Church? And also maybe the Vatican City should now house and feed a few hundred thousand illegal African immigrants who have been flooding into Italy?

The Pope Knows

Pope Francis, the heretofore darling of the world's media, has gone from solid theological grounds into a political quagmire ... calling the Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, an "angel of peace" and has had the Vatican recognize Palestinian statehood .... see: Associated Press Story for details. Does this man not read the newspaper? Has he not seen that Abbas's servants have placed Israel under a firestorm of over 11,000 rockets since 2005 (see: Israel Defense Forces Numbers)?  Did he not see how last year Abbas cynically thwarted his citizens a golden opportunity for statehood ... see: The Impossible Dream? Is he confused because both angels and rockets fly through the air?

Unfortunately, His Holiness is also preparing a papal encyclical to be delivered this summer in which he is expected to ally the Catholic Church with the Church of the Moonbat CO2 Haters ... see: New York Times Story. Does Pope Francis not recall how his church was besmirched by its treatment of Galileo when he had advocated heliocentricity? When the Catholic Church starts teaching science is when it loses its luster of saintly objectivity and becomes just another pitchfork-carrying peasant preparing a bonfire for the heathen.

And most of the Christian world had such high hopes for this man when he was elected to this august post ...

Paedophilia

Cardinal Law

Pope Francis has said that one in fifty clergy in the Catholic Church are paedophiles … and that this is a leprosy eating away at his mission. And that he also has sworn to "confront it with the severity it demands." For more on this, see: BBC Story.

A good start for His Holiness would be to defrock and excommunicate Francis Cardinal Law … and kick him out of the posh sinecure he now enjoys at the Vatican City. This would go a long way.

Afterward: I obviously have become Britified with my spelling of "pedophelia."

Eye of a Needle

Pope Francis would like to remedy all the social evils of the world … starting with wealth inequality … see: Truth Revolt Story. And this has delighted President Obama who also fervently believes “to each according to his need.” Ever since the time of Jesus, Christians have echoed this mantra … chuck-a-block full of romantic agony. “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God,” sayeth Christ (Matthew 19:24 … see: The Bible Hub).

So is the Catholic Church donating all of its hoarded finery to remedy these wealth inequalities? No. Is President Obama impoverishing himself and his family to stand as an example to the rest of the world? No. Somehow, owning wealth can be forgiven if one does one’s hypocritical best to conscript others into obeying Christ’s teachings on this matter.

Yes, one must concede that using more of the world’s resources than one’s “rightful share” has, within it, a certain tinge of evil. But then again, envy is as wicked a deadly sin as greed … particularly when it is preached as being saintly.
