“Could be, but not necessarily.”
I did say “if,” but I don’t really have any reason to think the women who are Catholic Charities have any charity in their hearts for white men.
“The concept of the poor as suffering innocents who simply can’t find work is an utter fabrication in this country”
That was true before the Kenyan Commie was placed into office through fraud.
Alas, there are many who would work but cannot find jobs today. Tens of millions, certainly.
“Rightly or wrongly he comes across to me as a hardcore Leftist.”
Do you mean morally, or “correctly or incorrectly?”
Because it is as certain that he is wrong to be that way, as it is that he is that way.
Peron, who is his political mentor, was a child-molesting Nazi. I mean a real Nazi, as in a follower of Adolph Hitler before and after his death. And I mean a real child molester, as in a practitioner of sexual relations with pre-pubescent girls.
He married the prostitute Eva Duarte because people were getting tired of covering for him.
Yes, yes, the biographies always talk about her being an actress, etc. etc. Believe that crap if you want. She was a prostitute.
The Church is only allowed to exist in socialist/communist countries if the Church leaders support the government’s positions on everything-and no Church leader from one of those communist countries-even pope Francis-should be promoting some socialist message-or any other political message-manmade warming/cooling climate crap, open borders to hordes of God knows who, wealth redistribution, or whatever.
He has no business in those issues, and I am not interested in hearing what he has to say-the reason I’ve loved and prayed to all my life to God certainly has nothing to do with politics or any of that-and it never will.
Church/religious issues are what the pope is supposed to be concerned with-like charities to assist the needy, the sacrament of marriage being between a man and a woman, abortion being infanticide, etc. This pope seems far, far less concerned with those real moral issues than he is with having the approval of the Castros, Obama and the UN-and spreading their socialist message...
I graduated from a Catholic university in the 70’s-my two favorite professors were Jesuit priests-and they were questioners who encouraged logical thinking-they most certainly were not socialists...
What’s needed there is not prayer but exorcism!
I agree.
St. John Paul II the Great didn't praise Fidel Castro as a contributor to world peace.
Yes, I'm sure everyone had forgotten that.
Jesuits are well known for just that.
It may be that the outwardly rich and powerful are those of who have the most impoverished spirits.
Reminds me of the Troparion Of St. John Chrysostom:
Grace shining forth from your lips like a beacon
has enlightened the universe;
It has shown to the world the riches of poverty,
it has declared the heights of humility;
Teaching us by your words, O father John Chrysostom,
intercede before the Word, Christ our God,
to save our souls.
His ministry recalls another holy Pope, +Leo the Great:
Troparion — Tone 3
You were the Church’s instrument / in strengthening the teaching of true doctrine; / you shone forth from the West like a sun dispelling the errors of the heretics. / Righteous Leo, entreat Christ God to grant us His great mercy.
Troparion — Tone 8
O Champion of Orthodoxy, and teacher of holiness, / The enlightenment of the universe and the inspired glory of true believers. / O most wise Father Leo, your teachings are as music of the Holy Spirit for us! / Pray that Christ our God may save our souls!
