That’s just someone’s appointment. It proves nothing.

[Reverend Saltine]

I’m not sure how my true remarks would be interpreted-—or even allowed here-—so, I’ll just say, in the immortal words of Han Solo, “Stay sharp, Kid.”

[SumProVita]

Do you have substantive proof to back that up?

The Pope is a Jesuit. In recent times the Jesuits have stood for just two things - sodomy and communism.

Anyone who doubts the first accusation should research the financial fate of their Province of Oregon - bankrupted by sexual abuse judgement with decent Catholics left to pay for it with our contributions.

Anyone who doubts the latter should study their "Liberation Theology" in the '80s and '90s that left tens of thousands of people in Latin America dead and liberated nobody.

The current wave of Global Warming/Climate Change hysteria is just the latest incarnation of the whole "coming ice age, acid rain, ozone hole" derge that started in the '70s and really hit stride about the time the Berlin Wall came down and the Communists found themselves facing a major raison d'etra problem. The Pope's message, parroting the tired old leftist line, is that evil greedy capitalism is destroying the world. This in turn goes back to roughly 1848 and is as big a crock today as it was then. It's embarrassing that this individual is Pope.

You have a VERY broad brush for the Jesuits. Are you unaware that there are many excellent Jesuits who wonderfully serve?

Also, would you please provide substantive proof of your statement that, “In recent times the Jesuits have stood for just two things - sodomy and communism.”

...."The Catholic Church is a religion. Not a political group"....

Wrong Again.............The Roman Catholic church has always been in bed with Governments....their entire History attests to this.

....Of recent is Pope Francis/Vatican reached an agreement with the 'Palestinian Liberation Organization' and the the 'Palestinian government' over the recognition of Palestine as a state.".....

"..Signing the 'Concordat between the Vatican and the Nazis', 20 July 1933. As the Nazi Franz von Papen, said,... "The Third Reich is the first world power which not only acknowledges but also puts into practice the high principles of the papacy."...thus becoming a political arm of the government.

...A deal with the Catholic Church and Pope Pius XI that gave Mussolini the official title of the ruler of Italy, called the Lateran Accords.....
