Shortened title.

Full title: Argentine Sex Abuse Victim: Pope ‘Opens His Door’ to Celebs Like DiCaprio but Won’t Even Write Us a Note

An Argentine woman who says she suffered sexual abuse at the hands of a cleric in the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires — where Pope Francis once served as the cardinal archbishop — said the pope ignored victims of sexual abuse while welcoming celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio with open arms.

“He receives all the celebrities, like Leonardo DiCaprio, and opens his door to them. And for us, not even a quick letter to say he was sorry,” one of the victims told an interviewer with the French news program Cash Investigation in 2017.

Pope Francis cares more about his photo-ops with celebrities than he does about the faithful.

WEB Griffin’s World War II fictional “Honor Bound” series is set mostly in Argentina and explains a lot about the place.

The vast majority of celebrities stand with the forces of evil. Well might one ask why Bergoglio is so fond of them.

All too many “celebrities” both female and male have been vetted for perversion and malleability on that basis, on the casting couch that got them where they are today. Harvey Weinstein is not an exception, he’s the norm. I just wonder what offense he committed to become the sacrificial lamb in order to deflect and protect the rest of the sick bastards.

“I just wonder what offense he committed to become the sacrificial lamb in order to deflect and protect the rest of the sick bastards.”

I’ve been wondering what they’re up to, taking down so many leftwads.

The most reasonable explanation I’ve heard is that they plan to replace them with even worse scumbags.

The Pope is a direct descendant of Italian immigrants. So am I. Now, my Sicilian born grandmother would frequently say in a mocking and cynical way that 95% of Italians were Catholic and 98% were Communists. This is back in the 50’s.

I imagine those Italian migrants who chose Argentina over the US may have had a propensity against capitalism - just a guess.

Both grandfathers were in unions, but they and my parents ended up conservative Republicans. Go figure.

I’d say it’s because we took our Catholic faith seriously, and that explains my grandmother’s cynicism towards our ancestral country and country-folk.

In the same manner that one can not be truly Catholic and Communist at the same time, neither can one be truly Catholic and a Democrat at the same time. The two world views are at their core intellectually contradictory.

Pope Benedict XVI tried to suppress Liberation Theology as incompatible with Catholicism. So, Pope Francis’ embrace of Liberation Theology does cause me concerns about his world view / philosophical frame of reference.

When one speaks of Communism, Democrat-ism, Liberation Theology, one must confront the reality that at their core, they can not be reconciled with the philosophical realism that lies at the core of all Christianity - the existence of a personal God Who is transcendent, who is the uncreated Creator, Who is the prime Mover, the prime Author of creation, of the laws of nature that govern the universe, and of the immutable natural law that governs mankind.

Upon those truths, subsequently, rests our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. One can conclude, therefore, that to be a Liberation Theology adherent or a Democrat, one must logically disavow Christianity and American republicanism, what the Founders founded, at their core.

Is the Pope really a Liberation Theology proponent or merely a sympathizer who tries to rationalize it with Catholicism? That question to me is at the heart of the matter. In the one case he’d be a heretic, in the other merely foolish, but still dangerous.

“Is the Pope really a Liberation Theology proponent or merely a sympathizer who tries to rationalize it with Catholicism?”

In my view, a lifelong predatory homosexual is so close to Satan that he could not possibly sustain faith.

The Pope is a jerk. From the picture, I see that he is unable to smile when he is wearing his beanie.
His elevation to the office he holds indicates a crooked company.
