Pope Awards Medals to Celebrities George Clooney, Richard Gere, Salma Hayek

ope Francis honored American actors George Clooney and Richard Gere and actress Salma Hayek on Sunday, awarding them the “Olive Medal” for peace at a Vatican event.

The Vatican event was organized to promote the work of a foundation called Scholas Occurrentes (schools of encounter), which Clooney praised as “a wonderful program” that enables “many different religions to speak of inclusion, because we know that hatred and fundamentalist attitudes are learned and inculcated.”

It wasn’t clear from reports what the celebrities had actually done to merit the medals, although George Clooney is well known as a liberal activist and successful fundraiser for the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, with attendees paying as much as $353,400 per person at a recent event held at the actor’s home.

According to its website, Scholas is an International Organization founded in 2013 and operating under the auspices of the Vatican, which “connects technology with arts and sports in order to promote social integration and the culture of encounter for peace.”...

I am, too. There is something spiritually wrong with him, and he is too aligned with everything that is wrong.

Pope Frank probably doesn’t appreciate the irony in Clooney’s support for the “Palestinians” and his ipso facto wish to see Israel disappear to those who would be only too happy to execute the Pope once they establish their caliphate.

Kind of like GLAAD giving a medal of freedom to ISIS.

Where’s your research on Stallone? Otherwise it is a rumor to hurt Stallone. All I see is that it is an anonymous rumor started about Gere.

Miley & Obama need to be given a Pope medal too.

Perhaps Angelina for her brave stand in raising her daughter as a boy. A child transsexual. My son wanted to be a giraffe, but I was too conservative to let him become a giraffe. Surely there is an award for Angelina and Brad too.

“This Pope is a member of the global elitists. He is a con job.

Will he drive Good American Catholics into other churches?

Evidently B16’s very loyal personal secretary has stated that his essence is starting to fade. However, 3.5 years later? I’m not a conspiracy minded person, but still...

Well, suppose you just Google it.

I even read one account where Stallone admitted he started it as a joke, and it ‘got out of hand’. (Yeah, right.)

At any rate, every time Gere’s name is mentioned, we get the same filth posted post after post until we sound like Democratic Underground.

Give it a rest.
We’ve all heard it. The jokes are not funny but stale.

The church is doing all it can to keep the billions flowing in that it is thieving from the U.S. Treasury. It was no accident the pope stood at the border and condemned those who threaten the flow of that money.

Lol, no, I knew the subject was Benedict. I meant “...his essence is starting to fade.”
