Pope Awards Medals to Celebrities George Clooney, Richard Gere, Salma Hayek
Breitbart News ^ | May 30, 2016 | Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D.

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.”...

As I read this story and your post, this verse came to mind:

While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

Maybe it is just my Catholic brain rebelling against these awards.

Hayek deserves two medals.

Yep, I'd be able to read the Latin on 'em from the balcony.

It's official - the Papal infallibility meme has been destroyed - along with the selection process.

Smoke anyone?

Absolutely. “Liberation Theology” a fusion of Marxism and the Catholic Church (as incompatible, incoherent, irrational, and impossible, as that “concept” is) took over Mexico and South America completely. They are returning to their pagan, (irrational/slavery/human sacrifices) roots with the pope’s Blessings.

Herding the ignorant masses for complete slavery and Mind Control for the State (creating chaos). In 1907 the CC knew it was infiltrated and warned of being “taken over”-—which by 68, the Freemasons had total control of the CC (and control of the Vatican Bank earlier).

He who controls the money controls everything.

There have been many anti-popes in the history of the Church. Truth will set us Free.

The pope was forced out so that NWO globalist scum could erode and collapse the foundations of church. All part the globalist elite Kalergi plan. Read it, please!

You are going to like it it at all, but it explains our lack of borders and the transformation / disintegration of Europe. God help us all.

Note that 3 1/2 later, Pope Benedict is quite healthy, no hospitalizations reported.

Every tittle and wink from the pontificated one over the last 3 or 4 months has reminded me of a multitude of biblical verses and direct quotes from Jesus. It only took the second or third time to realize that what I have been being reminded of was the entire chapter 23 of Matthew.

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!”

The man is a fool. Apparently a godless fool who despises the conservative principles of John-Paul in supporting freedom and opposing the communism the pope obviously favors..

Re; Richard Gere and the gerbil

I have no love for Richard Gere or his politics, but please stop perpetuating this ugly urban legend.

There are absolutely no facts- no record of Gere been seen in an emergency room to support the story of Gere and the gerbil

This ugly rumor was started by a jealous Sly Stallone when the two could not get along on a picture they were supposed to make together many years ago.

He’s a South American Jesuit, an order known for their embracing of Liberation Theology which is strongly based on Marxism. He’s a Red, plain and simple.
