Richard Dawkins: I Will Arrest Pope Benedict XVI

April 11, 2010 Richard Dawkins: I Will Arrest Pope Benedict XVI Marc Horne

Atheist campaigner Richard Dawkins RICHARD DAWKINS, the atheist campaigner, is planning a legal ambush to have the Pope arrested during his state visit to Britain “for crimes against humanity”.

Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, the atheist author, have asked human rights lawyers to produce a case for charging Pope Benedict XVI over his alleged cover-up of sexual abuse in the Catholic church.

The pair believe they can exploit the same legal principle used to arrest Augusto Pinochet, the late Chilean dictator, when he visited Britain in 1998.

The Pope was embroiled in new controversy this weekend over a letter he signed arguing that the “good of the universal church” should be considered against the defrocking of an American priest who committed sex offences against two boys. It was dated 1985, when he was in charge of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which deals with sex abuse cases.

BTW I have read some of about the “third secret”...enough to go no further in investigating about it, and it didn’t take long to determine this.

Malachi Martin: Questions and Answers

Q. You left the Jesuits and the ordinary priestly life more than 30 years ago. At that time you were assigned in the Vatican as a close personal associate of Pope John XXIII and Cardinal Augustin Bea. What caused you to leave?

A. I found it increasingly difficult to see Christ in any of my immediate superiors. There was no liberal cause Cardinal Bea didnt pursue. I even regarded the head of the Jesuits at the time, Father Jean Baptiste Janssens, as an enemy of the faith. My colleagues believed that the formal Oath Against Modernism, required of every priest at the time but since discarded, was a joke. That oath bound all of us to oppose the updating of dogma so as to bring it in line with the attitudes of the day. In essence, modernism holds that dogmas change — a total absurdity. I could no longer lend my name to such subversion.

Q. So you left the Jesuits. But that didnt relieve you of your duties as a priest. What is your status today?

A. At my request, Pope Paul VI granted me a universal status where I would not be under the supervision of any bishop. I dont dress like a priest and I dont hold any priestly assignment. But I am still a priest.

It is important to connect the dots and also important to understand which direction it is taking.

In the 1980’s was the time to learn how these link but today things move so fast it is almost impossible to keep up with its unfoldings!

Where the bread crumbs lead...

Adam Weishaupt was first a member of the Jesuit than later Adam Weishaupt founded the Illuminati of Bavaria on May 1, 1776 on the principles of his early training as a Jesuit. Originally called the Order of the Perfectibilists,”
http://obie.homesite.net/adam.htm

Of establishing an unlawful enterprise for the purpose of crime: (1776) That Jesuit Adam Weishaupt, Professor of Canon Law at the Jesuit University of Ingolstadt in Bavaria did form an unlawful enterprise for the purpose of crime on May 1, 1776, known as the Order of the Illuminati, also known as “the Illuminati” or simply “The Company”. That the purpose of this organisation was to specifically form a secret society of influential supporters of the Jesuits, controlled by the Jesuits to (1) re-establish its financial interests (2) remain secret in operation to ensure the Vatican and supporting states could never seize these specific assets from the order (3) uses its power and network to exact revenge upon the noble families that forced the suppression of the Jesuit order including France, Spain, Portugal, Parma, Naples and Austria; (4) to subvert the English Masonic movement both to prevent its spread of secular constitutional democracy (as in America) and in revenge for taking over its profitable business interests in Asia (East India Company); (5) undertake actions to force the Pope and the Vatican to re-establish the Jesuit order and never again forces its suppression

Who cares if you are impressed or unimpressed. This is going legally nowhere, they must have found the British version of Orly Tietz to attempt to pursue this.

I’ll do a bit of research on the man before seeing his videos. For me if an author or speaker conflicts with what God says I can generally tell right away...and if I question I talk with God about it and in time the answers do come...

There are many speakers who have their opinions on how this world will shape up....thank God He wrote us what we need to know and gave us faith to leave the rest in His hands.

****

It seems the way it works with me too sometimes I am stump and maybe it takes months or years later another piece of the puzzle come forth or it is put to rest!

This is what I see in the way Martin receives things.

Those of who are able to receive imformation it is filter through our personal references or life experiences so we might have different or little different takes on how world events unfold.

Fatima I still has not registrer in my scheme of things to grasp its significance meaning I have no reference point to go further.

I can relate to the such things as what Weisthaup did and how the Jesuit is corrupted.

Roman Catholics should do their own homework. The world might be better off if they were informed.

THE POPE CALLS FOR A "GLOBAL AUTHORITY" ON ECONOMY
(and everything else: defense: immigration; environment; food distribution; taxes; etc.)

Pope Benedict called on Tuesday for a "world political authority" to manage the global economy and for more government regulation of national economies to pull the world out of the current crisis and avoid a repeat...

And here from Vatican.Va is the encyclical in total, with one of the most offensive paragraphs being #67 (remember it's not the platitudes that destroy; it's the slimy socialism slipped in under the guise of compassion.)

CARITAS IN VARITATE

67. In the face of the unrelenting growth of global interdependence, there is a strongly felt need, even in the midst of a global recession, for a reform of the United Nations Organization, and likewise of economic institutions and international finance, so that the concept of the family of nations can acquire real teeth. One also senses the urgent need to find innovative ways of implementing the principle of the responsibility to protect[146] and of giving poorer nations an effective voice in shared decision-making. This seems necessary in order to arrive at a political, juridical and economic order which can increase and give direction to international cooperation for the development of all peoples in solidarity.U>To manage the global economy; to revive economies hit by the crisis; to avoid any deterioration of the present crisis and the greater imbalances that would result; to bring about integral and timely disarmament, food security and peace; to guarantee the protection of the environment and to regulate migration: for all this, there is urgent need of a true world political authority, as my predecessor Blessed John XXIII indicated some years ago. Such an authority would need to be regulated by law, to observe consistently the principles of subsidiarity and solidarity, to seek to establish the common good[147], and to make a commitment to securing authentic integral human development inspired by the values of charity in truth. Furthermore, such an authority would need to be universally recognized and to be vested with the effective power to ensure security for all, regard for justice, and respect for rights[148]. Obviously it would have to have the authority to ensure compliance with its decisions from all parties, and also with the coordinated measures adopted in various international forums. Without this, despite the great progress accomplished in various sectors, international law would risk being conditioned by the balance of power among the strongest nations. The integral development of peoples and international cooperation require the establishment of a greater degree of international ordering, marked by subsidiarity, for the management of globalization[149]. They also require the construction of a social order that at last conforms to the moral order, to the interconnection between moral and social spheres, and to the link between politics and the economic and civil spheres, as envisaged by the Charter of the United Nations...

Barely 20 years after Ronald Reagan left office, who would have even dreamed we'd have political leaders calling for a resurgence of the U.N. and a global authority "with teeth" and the power of enforcement who would control U.S. defense, finances, immigration, social welfare, politics, food distribution, the environment and whatever else it pleases to control.

Clearly, when a religion denies the sovereignty of the Triune God alone, it's that much easier for it to deny the sovereignty of nations, the United States in particular.

Alarming and utterly pathetic.

Snerk.

Getting roughed up in a street fight and running away is not exactly heroism.

Let's see him go witnessing in Islamabad, to the "Good News" that there is no Allah.

Hitchens is merely an autofellator.

In that day, Christianity was still the dominant force. In decline, but still powerful enough that if Napoleon killed the pope, most of his subjects would raise heck.

In Europe today, most people are not Christian.

I grew up Catholic, but, I see the folly in all religions.

"As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God..."

Recognize that quote?

I find religion to be flawed and harmful.

Don't project your issues with a couple of pedophiles in your youth onto all of religion.

That is the evil characterized by liberals as "stereotyping."

Incidentally, are you in favor of gay rights, of gays in the clergy, or gays in the Boy Scouts?

Have you protested the NEA and the teachers' unions for covering for pedophile teachers?

Cheers!

There is religion in the absence of religion, so to say it’s flawed and harmful is to be completely ignorant of this fact.

Actually, nickcarraway is right.

Dawkins is just another fundamentalist religious fanatic. He has his belief system and fits the profile perfectly.
