Pope’s Beatitudes Highlight Care for Environment and Outsiders

WSJ ^ | November 1, 2016 | FRANCIS ROCCA

[ebb tide]

Pope Francis proposed a new set of contemporary Beatitudes here, adding environmentalism and ecumenism to the core set of Christian ideals such as meekness and mercy enunciated by Jesus in the Bible.

[miss marmelstein]

Meekness is not trying to add another chapter to the New Testament.

[beethovenfan]

I guess Jesus forgot a few.

[Jeff Chandler]

I think he's taking this in persona Christi stuff far beyond its actual meaning.

The Francis is anything but meek:

: snort :

Yeah well, it's a living bible.

[Rapscallion]

Whatever happened to faith and morals?

I looked to all past popes for guidance and doctrine on those matters. Pope's back then were real represntatives of Christ on earth, not pretenders. They rendered to Caesar that which was Caesar's.

This sounds like the idiots over in the Episcopal Church. Last time I was in one, during Lent, they had taken down or covered up the Stations of the Cross and had substituted “The Stations of the United Nations Millenium Goals”.

Eleven months until Revelation 12:1-2!! Hold fast!! Look up! Your redemption draws near!!!!

The Stations of the United Nations Millenium Goals

You’ve got direct connect to God. Talk to Him. Direct Connect......

Now I grew up with the Catholic Church. I have been blessed in parking lots throughout NY state. My Dad makes the cassocks for the priests. Grandma was a Third Order Franciscan Monk buried in the robe with the rope belt.

You had to have been there when the other female monks came up to me and told me the gates of heaven would open more easily for me and my Dad.

I just smiled and thanked them. OMGosh!
God and I had such a hoot that day.

[Mrs. Don-o]

U.N. Millennium Goals?? I was going to say "Oh,Lord Have Mercy" but it's too absurd for that.

How about "Oh, ye globalist gobs of scooom, go soak yer heads"?

Or does that lack charity?

[miss marmelstein]

A living, breathing document.

[Hambone 1934]

Any day now...Pope rewrites New testament...Says apostles forgot stuff.

[stocksthatgoup]

Liberation Theology

[Talisker]

Thereyago.

[60Gunner]

Scrap your car, let muslims live in your basement...

This pope is a mouth-breathing liberal idiot. Hope the "holy" Roman church is enjoying it's little kum-bah-ya moment.
