Yes, Pope Francis is encouraging civil disobedience, leading a rebellion. Listen closely, Francis knows he’s inciting political rebellion, an uprising of the masses against the world’s super-rich capitalists. And yet, right-wing conservatives remain in denial, tuning out the pope’s message, hoping he’ll just go away like the “Occupy Wall Street” movement did.
Never. America’s narcissistic addiction to presidential politics is dumbing down our collective brain. Warning: Forget Bernie vs. Hillary. Forget the circus-clown-car distractions created by Trump vs. the GOP’s Fab 15. Pope Francis is the only real political leader that matters this year. Forget the rest. Here’s why:
Pope Francis is not just leading a “Second American Revolution,” he is rallying people across the Earth, middle class as well as poor, inciting billions to rise up in a global economic revolution, one that could suddenly sweep the planet, like the 1789 French storming the Bastille.
Unfortunately, conservative capitalists — Big Oil, Koch billionaires, our GOP Congress and all fossil-fuel climate-science deniers — are blind to the fact their ideology is on the wrong side of history, that by fighting a no-win battle they are committing suicide, self-destructing their own ideology.
The fact is: The era of capitalism is rapidly dying, a victim of its own success, sabotaged by greed and a loss of a moral code. In 1776 Adam Smith’s capitalism became America’s core economic principle. We enshrined his ideal of capitalism in our constitutional freedoms. We prospered. America became the greatest economic superpower in world history...

Somehow this religious figure is so intertwined with politics and the economic system, he is able to create a new economic purchasing scheme where all must have the the political figure's mark on their person in order to show loyalty to the "new world system". The Bible is also clear that whoever receives this "mark" will be damned to hell, with no hope of redemption.
I am not sure if Pope Francis IS this religious figure. If not, he is certainly a wonderful forerunner. Every time he opens his mouth, he continues his foray into the world political and economic orders and his consistent promotion of homosexuality, Allah as God of the Bible, and Marxism/Socialism betray his "inner dragon"...
Revelation 13: 11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein * to worship the first beast, whose * deadly wound was healed. 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak , and cause that as many as would * not worship the image of the beast should be killed *. 16 And he causeth all, both small and great *, rich and poor *, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand *, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell , save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Paul Farrell is a first class douche bag
We are seeing prophecy unfold.
Prophecy is just history written in advance.
And oh, the things that are written...
I think it’s time to start looking up, if you get my meaning.
I agree! Our fight is against the many that now think like this loser
You are being too kind to Farrell.
Pope Francis does not have the ear of the majority of American Catholics on this issue, let alone that of American voters in general.
We may very well go Communist but he will have little to do with it.
Said this over on the Market Watch web-site. No, the revolt was started years ago by greedy, incompetent, selfish and corrupt politicians. And if anyone with half a brain thinks there is another system or program that is better just look around the world. And if you find one suggest you get the hell out of America. You will not be missed by me and many others.
Yes! And thank God for it (prophesy). Otherwise many sane people like us would lose our minds with what is going on! Maranatha!
Can you please let the rest of us in on your insight?
Just so. I doubt very much whether he will have the kind of influence this article argues for.
I suspect the article should have had a “satire” warning.
Actually Paul Farrell is doing us a service by helping us understand the Last Days plan as it unfolds. I know of many Christians that wholeheartedly believe in the Rapture of the Church. I on the other hand cannot find anywhere in Scripture where God rescued a lazy, apathetic and apostate group out of the earth in such a dynamic and miraculous fashion. I suspect we will all be here and enter into the Tribulation will all.
My advice is, learn to live with less and less each day to prepare. What I see from people like Farrell is teaching the fascist followers to take from others when the system collapses. Kind of like find those who have prepared, kill them and take their stuff, because its your right and obligation to do so. And the pope is a tool that is encouraging this type of behavior.
With gay marriage being the final icing on the cake, and the Christian Church bows to the LGBT fascist agenda and become gay churches, we see the end coming. God will not allow the Church to become completely snuffed out by militant and anger God hating people. He will redeem us, but I fear we will all be tested and proven. Will we pass the test? With the Holy See saying things they way he does, and the push to compromise and deny our faith, and the power the Democrats now have in trying to eliminate God and morality, we are doomed as a nation, and our fall will take most nations with us.
Tough times are on the way
Already lost.
it’s interesting how only one person can totally change history , one person .....
While Pope Francis flays capitalism for its’ failures, greed and other vices he simultaneously implies the existence of morally perfected men who are able to make good on the Pope’s claim that everyone has a God-given right to have a job, to own land, and to have a home.
What’s missing from the Pope’s revolutionary exhortations? Answer: the sinfulness of all humans, none barred. This means that capitalism’s failures and greed are due to the same sinful condition as afflicts the Pope and his imaginary morally perfect men.
But then the Pope recently embraced evolutionary thinking and chastised the faithful for holding fast to the Genesis account ex nihilo. On one hand, an evolutionary cosmogony serves up an anti-creation account – an inverted exegesis that reduces man in the spiritual image of the Holy Trinity to evolved ape, and with the other argues that since humanity has evolved from lesser to greater biological organisms, the same change process is in play in the area of truth, morals and biblical infallibility. Therefore, all that can be known at present – and forever – is that there is no absolute or fixed certainty in either the areas of truth and morality or the Revealed Word of God.
His proper role should be to urge Capitalists engaged in business to make better moral decisions. Not to blow-up the system.
You’re pumping a religious blog called market watch under News.
Must be the last days. Or last brain cells, anyways.
Have Catholics ever overthrown a Pope?
I appreciate your feedback. Should I put this under general chat or blog from now on?
