Luke 8:16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
How does the head of the Catholic Church come to the center of the Western World and not mention Jesus Christ and how he saves you from sin? This is what happens to everyone who promotes the cult of Marxism, they are overwhelmed and everything else is placed in a lesser position which includes God. It is really pretty sad what has happened to the Church with this Pope and the direction he is driving it.
The most obvious cult worship Pope Marxist is following is Global Warming. Just like evolution you have to believe the theory of GW by faith and not by logic and proof. There is no proof that there is any GW and most of the data point towards Global Cooling which is why they changed the name to Climate Change whatever that means. This is a form of worship since you have to believe there is Climate Change without being able to look at some form of cause and effect, only theory and following.
The Pope took his podium in the middle of America and lectured us on why we need to make drastic changes to protect the world from Climate Change. He has no idea or proof it is happening, only his blind obedience to science. This is not the role of the Pope he is a spokesman for God and Jesus Christ. He has turned his back on God and is following man. We did not hear him telling America to change its path and follow Jesus Christ, we heard about stopping Global Warming to save the world.
Liberalism and Marxism is a cult. It is a works based cult which follows man made tenets. Within the Church is the belief in Social Justice which says that everyone should give away their riches for the poor. This theory is pure Socialism that the successful have to feel guilty for their success and have their wealth taken from them. What these priests do not understand is that it is up to the individual to decide what he should give up outside of the tithe. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that the wealthy must give up their wealth only to help the poor. The church is to be a conduit for helping the poor, but the Social Justice priests believe the gummit should be allowed to do that.
Just like Evolution and Global Warming there is no proof whatsoever the gummit has ever helped the poor. Just like those cultish beliefs there is more proof of them causing more poverty than solving it? You only need to look at the poor countries to see an overbearing, corrupt Marxist regime over and over to realize that Social Justice does not work. In spite of all of the proof the Pope follows it fundamentally like most of his Priests and many of the Protestant pastors.
The main problem with Social Justice is who decides what is Just? Who decides what the right amount of wealth is and what is not, man? Whenever you have man deciding the right amount or what is too much you are following the wrong path. When you put your faith in man you are walking away from God and towards deception. Man is corruptible as we have seen over and over again and Social Justice is just another form of man being in control rather than God.
The Catholic Church has a Pope which is not by all appearances not following God, but is following man. This is the oldest battle on the planet and we have seen the results of it over and over again. The liberal cult is easy to follow since it is so seductive. It sounds so attractive to have everyone making the same and not being too much wealth or saving the earth from environmental catastrophe when none of those things are real. Just as it sounds wonderful to be tolerant of everyone, you have to be intolerant of those who disagree, so too does the Pope have to be intolerant of those who disagree with him which he deflects with his position.
The truth is the Pope has no political authority and only a moral authority given to him by the Church. He is only given his platform because he is the highest position in the largest church in the world. He is given a moral authority because his Church worshiped Jesus Christ for 2000 years and what he should have kept his words to. If he wants to preach a man made cult he can join one of millions of political hacks preaching this cult rather than mixing the two. He has decided to use his position as a soapbox for Marxist activism which diminishes his position.
He would have gained stature if he would have fought for the issues Christians have always fought for. He never mentioned that Jesus Christ died for your sins so you would not have to. He failed to mention that Jesus gave us a path to God and heaven through the perfect sacrifice which was a symbol of God’s prefect mercy for absolute forgiveness of our sins. You would think the only real reason for a Pope is spreading the word of God and saving people from the world not being part of the world. He has the moral authority given to him from worshiping God which is who he should have been lifting up. His not mentioning the sanctity of life as well as the abomination that it represents when God has ordered us not to kill is where his lectures should have been pointed. How could he lecture us on immigration when what many Christians are fleeing around the world is death and violence from Mooselimb terror another man made cult which preys on the weak?
Now had another political hack come to the District of Corruption to lecture America about our shortcomings. Pope Francis is nothing more than any other leftist who believes his politics more than God. He brought no other words of value other than the token cliché of love your brother as yourself. There were no challenges to change your lives and country to follow God only more childish man made proclamations. He was no more trustworthy than Obama and for the most part sounded just like him with a thick Spanish accent. It is so sad to see someone who had a real opportunity to plant seeds into a lost generation but was too involved with his own Socialist dogma to be a candle to help enlighten God’s Holy Word.
Pray America wakes
Enough braying
Some worship their church not God.. or Clergy..
IDOLS: statues, the bible, amulets, totems, saints.. other things..
Some even worship givernment, money, material things..
They are called DIALECTIC MATERIALISTS.... i.e. communists, fascists, socialists.. idolaters..
I suspect Francis was chosen because the cardinals wanted a "Third World" pope, but weren't ready to go with an African or Asian. What they didn't realize is that Argentina is basically Europe -- Spain or Italy -- only more so.
The next pope, possibly African, will be more conservative on things like global warming and on church doctrine, though not on some other issues. Like John Paul and Benedict, he'd avoid controversial anti-capitalist messages, and put his focus on other matters.
Non-profit organizations tend to be critical of the for-profit market economy. It would be surprising if there weren't some tension between churches and commerce.
Yeah? Well what really happened to the last one? Did he want to spend more time with his family?
When are they going to put a statue of Karl Marx on the Altar at St. Peters?
Sick and tired of the stupid Marxist media saying every single night that “today the Pope spoke about immigration”, NO HE DIDN’T!
Immigration is a legal process in which someone applies to become a resident of another country. The Pope has never said a single damn word about immigration.
May the Pope be on his way home. He is just another corrupt politician.
Excellent title.
Says it all.
You should write the Pope a letter and explain Christianity to him. ;-)
Like (Holy) Father, like son.
Did you see the staged event of the 5 year old girl that broke through security to hug the pope? Leftists are good at using children in their attacks, as political weapons - recently, we’ve had clock boy, pope girl and the toddler that washed up on the beach - dead b/c his father wanted Europeans to pay for a new set of teeth for him.
The media will spin this as “Whites not doing enough.”
Is there any doubt the Pope is a leftist tool being used against Whites?
What a hypocrite - living in splendor in a walled city while lecturing us Whites about “not giving or doing enough” for refugees -
During his Cuban visit, Pope Francis praised the “spirit of poverty” and called poverty “the wall and the mother of consecrated life. Affluence “impoverishes” making “us poor in the only wealth that is worth having, to put our safety in other things.”
Islam is a religion of peace, one which is compatible with respect for human rights and peaceful coexistence…authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.
If he loves Islam so much why doesn’t he go live among them? Or invite 100,000 of them to live with him in the Vatican?
Go back to Rome!
Or better yet, Argentina.
Cool! A Triumph Bonnie.
IN CUBA WE SAW THE REAL FRANCIS
In Philadelphia the address of Pope Francis centered on freedom, but in Cuba Francis showed his hypocrisy and lack of morals when not a single time pronounced the words liberty or freedom. In Cuba we saw the real Pope Bergoglio. While the Pope brags to be the voice of the poor and the oppressed in Cuba he was the voice of the oppressors. Francis beg for a meeting with Fidel Castro with was described by the Vatican as very friendly and familiar while he did not accept to receive a representation of the pacific dissidents of the Stalinist regime who are the true voice of the enslaved Cuban people. At the end of the meeting with Castro the Pope expressed his deep appreciation for the genocide of the Cuban people who after 56 years make a country that had the higher standard of living in Latin America in 1959 to the poorest and most oppressed in the history of this hemisphere.
Yeah...I saw that too.(LOL...I’m such a gearhead!)
And when I watch the Zabruder film, my eyes go straight to the Dallas PD on Panheads.
This is why I left the catholic church. This social justice crap just made me walk out. I have never looked back.
Just heard the musical lineup to the Pope at some “family” thing, Aretha Franklin,Sister Sledge, Ozzy Osborne and finally to lead into the Popes introduction will be Judas Priest with the official intro by Elton John and his boyfriend
Oh and though he gives lip service to unborn children, gives Democrats ok to vote for abortion gay marriage and the removal of God/Christ from classroom/public square
Fear not, folks!!! Even though the “Obamabot” media have fawned all over Pope Francis....the Pontiff scored zero points here in the USA, Over 70% of Americans could care less what he says or does. He has done more, along with POTUS Obama to diminish the Roman Catholic & Christian Religion in the USA...then the worst enemy of the Catholic Church could ever do!!!
