The church has become another corrupt gummit .
Sounds like Maria has THE SHOW du jour.
Maria is very positive that Horowitz’s report is devastating for several individuals we despise.
My Hollandaise sauce didn’t break - it’s perfect, so I’m going to enjoy my Eggs Benedict while I watch Maria’s great show.
As usual, I’ll read this entire thread later. Thanks very much for your unmatched insight, erudite comments, updates and news you always bring to this thread.
Blessings!
Liberation Theology.....it’s roots are in Latin America...hey....where Bergoglio hails from!
From Wiki...
Liberation theology is a synthesis of Christian theology and socio-economic analyses, often based in far-left politics, particularly Marxism, that emphasizes “social concern for the poor and political liberation for oppressed peoples”.[1] In the 1950s and the 1960s, liberation theology was the political praxis of Latin American theologians, such as Gustavo Gutiérrez of Peru, Leonardo Boff of Brazil, Juan Luis Segundo of Uruguay, and Jon Sobrino of Spain, who popularized the phrase “Preferential option for the poor”.
The Latin American context also produced evangelical advocates of liberation theology, such as C. René Padilla of Ecuador, Samuel Escobar of Peru, and Orlando E. Costas of Puerto Rico, who, in the 1970s, called for integral mission, emphasizing evangelism and social responsibility.
Theologies of liberation have developed in other parts of the world such as black theology in the United States and South Africa, Palestinian liberation theology, Dalit theology in India, and Minjung theology in South Korea.....

“Make Catholicism Great Again”
Since inevitable comparisons will be made by driveby sources dedicated to creating a rift between the US and MBS/Saudis this is appropriate to clear the field and question who would be interested in creating a rift between Trump and MBS.
Can you say,CIA,Turkey,Deep staters,loads of others all with agendas....

Shedding light on the killing of Khashoggi and the Saudi Turkey rift
T. Belman. From what we read, the Khashoggi attackers were as negligent and error prone as the Keystone Cops. This account is more believable. The plan was to drug him and then take him back to Saudi Arabia for trial just as Israel did with Eichmann. But Khashoggi died as a result of the drugging.

It appears that Erdogan and the Muslim Brotherhood are one, and that included sympathizer, and colleague Jamal Khashoggi.
Saudi Arabian officials have conceded complicity in the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. The time has come to shed light on Turkey’s position in the matter. It is recognized by many that the main battle was not between Khashoggi and the Saudis, but rather a clash between Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman and Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The struggle is not over the death of the journalist, but rather for control of the entire Sunni world.
Turkey under Erdogan seems to be headed in the same direction Iran is today—an oppressive, tyrannical, Islamic leadership with a so-called democracy. Such a happenstance would make it as difficult for the United States to have a working relationship as does that of Iran. Rather than fostering a rapport with the West, Turkey’s leader seems determined to destroy the association by the choices he makes.
Jamal Khashoggi walked into the Saudi Arabian Embassy but did not walk out. It appears that an attempt was made to drug him and return him to his home country to stand trial for charges against the Saudi government. According to some sources, Khashoggi was not garroted; instead he stopped breathing after he was drugged.
Article 6 of Saudi Arabian basic law states it is “punishable by imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years and a fine of not more than SAR 3 million [$800,000] or one of these penalties for a number of crimes, including the production of anything that violates public order, religious values, morals, the inviolability of private life, or preparation, transmission or storage of it through the Internet or a computer.”
I was quietly told – first in Israel by a former high-level member of the Mossad, and later in a meeting with Egyptian intelligence officials – that Crown Prince bin Salman approved the mission to arrest Khashoggi and bring him to justice, as Israel had done with Adolf Eichmann. Unfortunately, the persons charged with secretly arresting the journalist and flying him back to stand trial for incitement accidentally killed him with an overdose and then panicked. It was then that the cover-up ensued.
Shortly thereafter, I flew to the United Arab Emirates and heard the story repeated twice more. While in the various countries, I met with His Royal Highness Crown Prince bin Salman, the Saudi deputy prime minister, and defense minister.
Despite rabid finger-pointing by Turkey, the Saudis were well aware that cameras were trained on consulate corridors. The main issues are the video and the quote from the Turkish paper, the government-run mouthpiece for Erdogan.
Turkish officials immediately leaked the Khashoggi affair to Al Jazeera, the official television channel in Qatar—a country at odds with Saudi Arabia. Since the death of the journalist, the station has offered a 24/7 discourse on the matter, using any means to implicate the Saudi Crown Prince. Information that Khashoggi had asked his fiancé, Hatice Cengiz, to personally contact Erdogan’s aide, Yasin Aktay, should he not return from the consulate. That direct link to Turkey’s president was deemed undesirable and prompted an order that Aktay halt appearances on Al Jazeera, and to stop making references to Erdogan.
Leaks from Turkish intelligence (MIT) regarding events inside the consulate are so detailed that one has to wonder how, when, and why clandestine devises were planted inside the building, as well as the home of the Saudi consul. MIT must have known that an attempt to kidnap Khashoggi was imminent. Not surprisingly, Erdogan has failed to present taped recordings of conversations inside the Saudi consulate that were made days before the death of the journalist. Any speculation on the why must include the theory that the Turkish president knew of the plan only to return Khashoggi to Saudi Arabia.
Recognizing the tension between the journalist and the Crown Prince because of personal attacks by Khashoggi in the Washington Post, knowing that 15 Saudi nationals had arrived on private planes that same day, he was allowed to walk inside the consulate. According to one unidentified source in Saudi, “No one was authorized to kill Khashoggi. We knew we had every right to smuggle him out and arrest him, as he is a Saudi citizen.”
I was in a delegation that had a two-hour meeting with the Crown Prince, and told him the story of “Operation Eichmann.” I knew it well because Isser Harel, who planned the operation, shared it with me at his home one evening over dinner.
At the close of World War II, Adolf Eichmann assumed various aliases and identities in an attempt to elude Allied authorities and evade responsibility for his wartime atrocities. Eichmann was the Nazi transportation administrator assigned the duty of ensuring that trains packed with Jews heading to the death camps were kept in good working order.
In 1960, the Mossad, Israel’s Intelligence Agency, then headed by Isser Harel, planned and executed “Operation Finale.” The intelligence agents tracked Eichmann to his village, drugged him and brought him to Israel. There, the fugitive stood trial on charges of crimes against humanity, war crimes and crimes against the Jewish people.
He was convicted in 1961, and after all appeals were exhausted, he was hanged. His body was cremated and his ashes scattered across the Mediterranean. Such was the plan for Jamal Khashoggi, a plan that went awry, resulting in his death.
I told the crown prince that I believe he did the same thing and drugged Khashoggi to bring him back and charge him with incitement, but the drug killed him. The Prince never denied it; he simply talked about how unfortunate the whole event was. He said “even a prince can make a mistake.”
Who or what inspired Erdogan to become involved in the turmoil surrounding Jamal Khashoggi’s death? There is one simple answer: the Muslim Brotherhood. In meetings with the Crown Prince in Abu Dhabi and with Egyptian president Sisi, it was apparent that organization is hated in their countries. Erdogan has welcomed them with open arms, providing assistance and asylum, granting members the right to congregate and strategize against Sisi’s government.
It appears that Erdogan and the Muslim Brotherhood are one, and that included sympathizer, and colleague Jamal Khashoggi. President Erdogan sacrificed his friend in order to implicate the Saudis and particularly Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman. The Washington Post journalist was the pawn in Erdogan’s game. He was sacrificed in order to get to the king—or in this case, the Crown Prince.

Great stuff as usual Rod. A shame that faith has been taken over by politics but the reality that it’s used as a social platform is only exacerbated by the msm willingness to use any tool they can to further besmirch the character of a great man who truly seeks to help all in US
You can see the tie in of the female constitution expert also using the king analogy so this has to be one of memes being added to the cheat sheets these fools read from, and from which they receive their attaboys from the swamp
Gaetz at the end exposed them all but that won’t sink in to their or the Dem committee concrete brains
So, what is a bit strange
OANN is becoming the new Fox. Bongino has started his own version of the Drudge Report, the Bongino Report.
There has also been a break away from the pro-Trump Reddit site that was quarantined. People got fed up about the censorship by Reddit. The Donald America First
We can expect as election day approaches, that social media will do everything possible to stifle conservative, Trump supporters. The Dems and their allies in Deep State will use whatever means possible, legal and illegal, to stop the reelection of Trump.
As impeachment moves inexorably forward with the House impeaching the President before Christmas, the Reps must be pressured to fight strenuously in the Senate to expose the blatant corruption of the Dems, MSM, and Deep State. If there are any GOP defections, there must be severe consequences. Collins is up for reelection next year. So is McConnell who should be held responsible for any defections. He can punish the likes of Murkowski and Romney with the loss of senate committee assignments.
Grahamnesty is playing a key role in setting up the President's defense. If he fails to subpoena key witnesses, then the WH must step in, and Lindsey who is up for reelection must be primaried.
When was the last time Graham was on NBC? Pretty obvious he’s been blackballed by the MSM for “supporting” POTUS.
Graham is now saying that he wants to shut this down as soon as possible. I smell a rat. Trump should use the trial as a giant reelection commercial. Graham will not call Schiff.
I don’t trust Graham at all. He is still a McCain acolyte. And McCain hated Trump and worked with the Dems on the dossier to take Trump down. I bet that Graham knew about the dossier at the same time as McCain, i.e., August 2016.

Graham is dancing around Maria’s questions. It sounds like he is not going to subpoena anyone and will shut down the proceedings as soon as possible.
Incredible story and very believable. Do you think this is one of the reasons Trump pulled our troops to stay out of this potential war?
The date is important. Trump was President-elect and you have McCain, Graham, and Klobuchar in Ukraine. One can only imagine what subjects were brought up. The FISA warrant on Page was in place.
Hillary told Howard Stern that Graham has changed radically and is seemingly possessed by the Devil. No doubt Hillary, McCain, and Graham were best buds.
Yeah well its true cluster no doubt....just one of the reasons Trump wants us out of the mideast.
I dont know cant recall....
