Pope Francis criticises nationalism and suggests people should embrace diversity
Voice of Europe ^ | 12/25/18

In his traditional Christmas speech, Pope Francis criticised nationalism and called cultural differences a “source of richness”.

Speaking about increasing nationalism in the Western world as a result of migration from North Africa and the Middle East the spiritual leader said:

“Our differences are not a detriment or a danger; they are a source of richness. As when an artist is about to make a mosaic: it is better to have tiles of many colours available, rather than just a few,” the Pope told a large audience in the Vatican.

“The experience of families teaches us this,” he said, “as brothers and sisters, we are all different from each other. We do not always agree, but there is an unbreakable bond uniting us, and the love of our parents helps us to love one another,” he added.

In this sad era under Francis, we are obliged to answer the rhetorical question “Is the Pope Catholic?” by saying: Not Always!

Hell, was this pope installed by the international globalist cabal and George Soros?

I am so sick of this pope. Catholics deserve better than this.

The sad fact is diversity is not strength. "Diversity" is bowing to the lowest common denominator. "Diversity" is rejecting standards in deference to a third world, leftist, shit-hole culture. "Diversity means sacrificing your lifestyle to pay for freeloaders.

I am not buying in. And I am a lifelong Catholic.

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup horse manure
1/4 cup brown sugar packed
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 large block of rat poison
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cockroach droppings
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Some ingredients are positive. Some are negative. If we lack the discernment to decide which ones go into the mixing bowl, our chocolate chip cookies will not turn out the way normal people would prefer. True believers in virtue signaling will eat them, or more likely force others to eat the resulting cookies, but decent people know better. The same for immigration, which should be restricted to legal immigrants only, and only those whose presence helps citizens and especially the working citizens of the country they are immigrating to.

Diversity of race isn’t the problem; it’s diversity of culture.
