I am a Catholic but I’m not offended by what you wrote, Bray. However, I am deeply saddened in that I have to agree with you.
Pope Francis is a political Leftist.
Just keep in mind that we do not hate America just because Obama is the president, so the same applies to my Church.
We want to SAVE both of them!!!
Frankly I laffed all week at the comments of, er....the Protestants among us. Some called him the “Puke”, many complained that he did not mention Jesus in his address to congress, scores complained that this Pope does not speak for them.
But I didn’t get offended because hey, I am Catholic too and I he weren’t the head of my church I’d be complaining just as much.
It’s been a hell of a week for the pope an my wish is that this oountry is well-stocked with low-information voters. I’m hoping they watched all the pageantry, the kissing of the babies, and the Pope....who really did work hard this week, whose picture should be under the word “POPE”, who loves all the poor, the women, the immigrants, the Syrians, and the Communists.
Two people he cited as exempliary Catholics: Dorothy Day wrote:
In the Catholic Worker in May 1951, Day wrote that Marx, Lenin, and Mao Tse-Tung “were animated by the love of brother and this we must believe though their ends meant the seizure of power, and the building of mighty armies, the compulsion of concentration camps, the forced labor and torture and killing of tens of thousands, even millions.”
And Thomas Merton, another pretty much nothing burger who wrote a bunch of Communist crap.
Like I say, the pope needs to SHUT UP AND SAY MASS.
Wonderful essay as usual Bray. Totally agree with you.
No, El Papa could not mention “God” or “Jesus” because he could use only the buzz words that sway the gullible masses towards his Marxist agenda of weakening western way of life through wealth redistribution to compensate “poorer” rest of the world for our greedy exploitation lo these many years.
It is easy to show the folly of Pope’s “arguments”, but who will tell it? Who will get a microphone or megaphone? Media is totally complicit with the USA take-down and cheers it on. Internet search engines censor anything not approved and redirect us to propaganda.
Meanwhile Pope putts along in his little eco-friendly tiny car to prove he is all in for god Ghia.
I know Alas, it must be killing you. It was a hard one to write since so many on this thread are Catholic, but it needed to be said especially with all of the media lovefest.
Uh-oh...The lady told the reporter she didn't agree with this Pope on his immigration stance for she had come here legally and her husband (?) was also going through the process. The reporter seemed stunned.
