But, I am not surprised that he would be hard pressed to find an useful from our current Pope for such a sermon.
He says later on that “socialism has been clearly and vigorously condemned and denounced by an unbroken string of no less than 11 consecutive popes from Pius IX in 1849 to Benedict the 16th in 2005.” Notice, he stops with Benedict. It’s pretty obvious that he thinks Francis is a socialist,and disagrees with him.
The Catholic church has been cursed with bad Popes before. Hopefully we don’t have too many more years with this one.
I am working on a transcript of Fr. Meeks’ speech, when I get done, I will post it here.
LOL, I am so brain dead. I first saw this on YouTube, and took the transcript off of there. It had no punctuation, or capitalization, and was a long string of words separated by time stamps. I had worked on it for a couple of hours a few nights ago, and just got back to it.
I was listening to the video at this link as I was working on my transcript, determined to get it done this morning. Just now, I realized it’s on the page under the video. Duh!
I wanted to email it to friends, so they could read it if they wanted. I guess we all know how to copy paste! Hope I didn’t confuse you. I’m pleading old age.
