"I love those who appear on Catholic threads when it is written that the Pope supports a One World government, Marxism as does the church and say that it’s what it means or doen’t believe what you read."

Amid the worst recession in generations, Karl Marx, who famously described religion as “the opium of the people”, got a thumbs up from the Vatican overturning a century of Catholic hostility to his creed.
Marx, who predicted that capitalism would be destroyed by its internal contradictions, has joined Galileo, Charles Darwin and Oscar Wilde on a growing list of historical figures to have undergone an unlikely reappraisal by the Roman Catholic Church, The Times newspaper said on Thursday.
The British daily, quoting the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano, said Marx’s early critiques of capitalism had highlighted the “social alienation” felt by the “large part of humanity” that remained excluded from economic and political decision-making.
Amid signs of recovery in global financial markets, Christian leaders have flayed the capitalist system for displaying a lack of moral values, arguing that ethical debates needs to be given greater prominence.
Georg Sans, a German-born professor of the history of contemporary philosophy at the pontifical Gregorian University, argues that Marx’s work remained especially relevant today as mankind was seeking “a new harmony” between its needs and the natural environment.
The report quoted Prof. Sans as saying that Marx’s theories may help to explain the enduring issue of income inequality within capitalist societies.

But you get revenge on Sister Mary Alice by touching the paten to her chin on icy morninigs. ;-)

A better bet would be that I never messed up the same way twice ...
You failed to answer the point of the bishops supporting the Health Care bill if abortion was not in the bill and one other issue. Otherwise the bishops position is EVERY ONE should be covered in the bill.
I'll grant, regretfully, that SOME, even a majority, of US bishops support SOME kind of national health care system.I addressed it in an answer to YOU! Here it is. As you can see if you take the trouble to read and to think about what I posted, I agree that SOME US bishops have the stand that you describe. However I disagree that that means what you charge, namely "The Leaders" of the Catholic Church etc .... Some do, some don't.Your original statement was, with added emphasis: The leaders of the Catholic Church support One World Government and Nationalized Healthcare.
So EITHER context matters OR (since you did not say, "SOME leaders..." or "A MAJORITY of leaders.... ) every single leader of the Catholic Church supports One World Government and National Healthcare. I am a leader in the Catholic Church, and (facetiousness alert!)(a) since I support neither of those things as they are currently envisioned by socialists you are wrong; and (b) you have just engaged in "mind-reading" which this forum prohibits.
OF COURSE I'm being facetious. I don't think you engaged in mind reading. I am just responding to your statements with the kind of attention to context and detail which anti-Catholics not only deny to the Pope's encyclical but also say it's dishonest for us to expect as one approaches an encyclical on a complex matter.
But broad brushes make up in fun what they lack in truth, don't they?
Sho’nuff
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sho’ Nuff is a slang expression meaning “sure enough”.
Sho’ Nuff can also refer to:
Sho’nuff (character), the Shogun of Harlem, from Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon
Sho’nuff Records, an Atlanta-based record company in the United States
Sho Nuff, a song by Fatboy Slim
Interesting.
The great thing about my time in Mississippi was that I interacted with folks who used this locution naturally an unaffectedly.
My fave is when’s it’s used to express incredulity: sho’ ‘NUFF?
We have our own here in NE. Going back a bit in time “wicked” could be used in a couple of ways. Along with the standard meaning, it could also be used instead of “very”, as in “that pie is wicked good”, or “she’s a wicked bad driver”.
If I weren't dyslexic and ADD-ed, and if life were, like, 300 years long, I'd be a philologist. "Wicked" is in the NE, used as a superlative or intensive. Then "bad" comes into play, I think beginning in black English but spreading quickly, also as an intensive.
It's fascinating.
One of my favorite Dominicans said that there was a natural check on the impulse to be mean to novices: When one was old and wheelchair bound, it would be the former novice who just might push your wheelchair downstairs.
So I see that altar boys had a natural response to the ninja nun.
I love how justice works ... when it's not working on me, that is.
It was popular in the ‘80’s, but has fallen out of fashion since then. I recall a unique and somewhat mysterious variation, “wicked pisser”, which was pronounced “wickahd pissah”. Ah, the good old days.
I do not understand your question. Temple curtain practices ended in Matthew 27:50 Jesus, when He had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51 And, behold, the veil of the Temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
There is no more that 'veil' or curtain literally or figurative for the priest to do work behind.
. “Let us recall the fact that atheism and the denial of the human person, his liberty and rights, are at the core of the Marxist theory. This theory, then, contains errors which directly threaten the truths of the faith regarding the eternal destiny of individual persons. Moreover, to attempt to integrate into theology an analysis whose criterion of interpretation depends on this atheistic conception is to involve oneself in terrible contradictions. What is more, this misunderstanding of the spiritual nature of the person leads to a total subordination of the person to the collectivity, and thus to the denial of the principles of a social and political life which is in keeping with human dignity.”
From CDF on Liberation Theology.
Actually I need no rumors, etc., to spend one second upon to test the fruit of peoples who believe in a social gospel. IT is very simple when whatever denomination claims to be doing the 'Lord's' work use this government to pass that collective taxation plate to accomplish said work.
I thought so.
There is no contention that Marxist principles are IN fact practiced by members of the Catholic church. Have you forgotten so soon that old 'lion' of the Senate that attempted for decades to pluck the feathers out of the eagle? Oh and Nanny state Pelosi is still preening her proud tail feathers. I even hear one high ranking priest or whatever his title was saying he was allllllllll for universal health care if they took out the funding for abortion.
Now how brain dead is this character when he is waist deep in a Marxist policy.
Yup. Like I said. Church shopping, for various reasons.
None of the responses disproves my contention. You all
never admit the truth about this.
