Pope John Paul II is turning in his grave, all of the wonderful work he did for the Lord and against Communism being undone by a Marxist Atheist and his fellow traveling Cardinals...

Don’t worry - he’s the communist elitist - he NEEDS that money to live in wealth for the work he’s doing for the poor!

Wife and I had big fight over Pope Socialist Jesuit asshat, well not that big we have been married a long time and have neutral corners in the house. Anyway, since we have been married I go to Catholic church with her. I am Missouri Synod Lutheran, but hey anything for a little peace in the house. Well I told her I will not set foot in a Catholic Church again until the Pope is gone and “good” Catholics stop putting anti-abortion stickers on their cars but vote for pro-death democrats. I called them pocket book Catholics. She did not find that comment so funny. Well apparently the Catholics are up to their old $hit and blamed a Jewish reporter for misrepresenting the Popes comments. Things got really heated at that point something about my comment that Catholics have always been closet anti-semites. There is an old parable, Maimonides told this one I think, it tells us that God knew men were impulsive so he put a button in their brain. Whenever we are about to say something stupid to our wives, we can push the button and stop ourselves. Problem is God has a sense of humor so he hide the button. Sometime we find it and sometimes we don’t. I could not find it today. I messed with my wife for years. I would look at her and say “found the button.” She had no idea what it meant until my daughter told her!

What is the process for Catholics to unseat an apostate pope?

I think it will take ground-shaking intercession from Our Lord Himself.

This guy really needs to go.

Boy will this papa be surprised someday, when he learns God is real, and He “is a rewarder of those who seek Him”.

A Catholic in a Catholic-Protestant Facebook group I post in answered the question “how can Catholics depose an apostate Pope” in this way:

“Traditionally we poison them.”

lol

Yeah, that has happened. This fake and non-canonical pope will act in such a public and egregious way that even Our Lord will say, “Git a rope.”

One, Missouri Synod Lutherans are my favorite Protestants. Two, many of us Catholics detest this Pope AND voted for Trump twice. So, start going back to church with your wife. We need you!

As a replacement of welfare and other cash benefits that does not increase according to any means test. With no demanding more once it is spent. “It’s gone? Too bad. Get a job.” I am fine with the idea. But Leftist would make it in addition to welfare and claim the amount would have to fluctuate according to a means test. I figure a direct payment that did not involve multiple government agencies would end up saving taxpayers money. It might also encourage people to find work if they realize it is not intended to live off of. Current welfare discourages people from seeking work.

UBI is only acceptable in the following conditions:

(1) Find the UBI dollar amount as follows: sum all domestic welfare and redistribution transfer programs and payments (minus Social Security and Medicare), divide by the number of citizens over 18, and transfer that dollar amount to every adult’s bank account as taxable income; except 20% is to be used as a healthcare voucher tax-free.

(2) End all the programs above. All the bureaucrats fired.

(3) In the following year, this becomes the responsibility of each state to fund and distribute.

Question: Who won’t decide to stop working and just freeload? Only suckers will still want a job.

———————————

Worked 38 of my 55 years on this planet, until March and the Great Furlough of 2020. Can’t find a new job for anything - due to the absolute domination of Indian H1B scum in software engineering and IT, as well as the media/entertainment industry being shut since March.

Damned right I’m going to be a freeloading leech as much as I can from now on, especially if Beijing Biden and Kolkata Harris steal the election.

I can not and will not do degrading part-time entry-level minimum wage manual labor. 30 years ago, yes. Now? I’d rather freeload.

the priests DO get a UBI. Note that Francis is daft to bring up economic matters - he’s not an economist.

Where has socialism and UBI WORKED? It’s worked in kibbutzes and in monasteries - in closed, small communities that essentially act as one giant individual.

UBI does not work. I ran some scenarios and also looked at Finland’s actual live experiment with UBI (which they ended). It demonstrably doesn’t work — it may sound nice, but it does not work.

UBI was tried in a limited fashion as an experiment in Finland (you can google it). It failed and was wound down.

This was a well done experiment and removed my doubts about UBI - it is demonstrably not workable, even in limited areas (at state or even county level)

"Well I told her I will not set foot in a Catholic Church again until the Pope is gone and “good” Catholics stop putting anti-abortion stickers on their cars but vote for pro-death democrats. I called them pocket book Catholics"

Note - the Church is bigger than individuals in it, even if they are bishops of Rome.

The most important is who is the High Priest at Mass and present at every Eucharist? Our High Priest, Jesus.

Francis can let loose his hot air, but the key thing for me is always to focus on

Nope, Frankie is the worst. He’s leading the world into the great apostasy and a one world religion. Past Popes may have been scoundrels, but they never publicly denied the basics of Christianity like this one does on a nearly daily basis.
