The pope is one man, like you or I

I used to believe he was much more than just a man. I truly believed he was moved by the Holy Spirit. But my opinion of him has done a 180 over the last two months. Is he even aware of what is going on in the world? Does he know of all the Christians who have been martyred all over the world by the sword of islam, as in Rwanda and Indonesia? How can he, in good conscience, ask us to appease the Beast that is slaughtering the flock? Does he actually believe the Beast will stop its slaughter? Does he actually think that if we make nice, muslims will stop killing Christians and Jews? How naive can he possibly be? How can he pretend to be trying to prevent a war between religions when islam has ALREADY declared war and is actively waging it?

The Pope no longer champions the Gospel. He champions political correctness, and political correctness is nothing but an invention of Satan to demoralize humanity and fool it into submitting without trying to defend itself. Satan is waging war against Christians and Jews via socialism and islam, and political correctness is his way of disarming the victims.

Did you see this?

Excerpt from above url:

While in New York, I paid a courtesy call on Archbishop Celestino Migliore, the new Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations. I know Migliore from Rome, where he had served as the deputy to Archbishop Jean-Louis Tauran, the Vatican’s foreign minister. In Italian migliore means “best,” and in this case the name fits. Most observers regard Migliore as among the most impressive members of the Vatican’s diplomatic corps.

In the present crisis, one of the Vatican’s core interests is defending the United Nations system, insisting that any use of force must be authorized by the U.N. before it could be legitimate. This is an area of contrast between the Vatican and much conservative political sentiment in the United States While some Americans are leery of surrendering power to the U.N., not trusting it to promote American values or national interests, the Vatican believes in a reformed U.N. with real decision-making authority. John Paul II, in his message for the 2003 World Day of Peace, put it this way: “Is this not the time for all to work together for a new constitutional organization of the human family, truly capable of ensuring peace and harmony between peoples, as well as their integral development?”

In recent months, Vatican officials have offered three arguments in support of this view.

First, a strong U.N. could promote the common good on the global level, ensuring that global economic structures do not simply enrich elites at the expense of the rest of the world.

my comment ->socialism endorsement through leveling the playing field - no wonder they vote for Demoncrats.

my comment -> The elites want power through the UN -> which is why bill clinton is interested in the U.N..

Second, a reformed U.N. would help ensure that strong nations do not simply impose their will on the weak. Tauran recently said that political leaders should seek to uphold “the force of law” rather than “the law of force.”

my comment:\-> Despotic third world nations would have as much control as America. Evil should have an equal voice to good.

Third, Vatican officials believe that a U.N. committed to multilateral decision-making, in which small and medium-sized states have real possibilities to shape policy, would be less open to manipulation by powerful non-state actors such as corporations and NGOs (think Planned Parenthood, for example). The Vatican learned from the battles at the Cairo and Bejing conferences in the mid-1990s that sometimes its most serious opposition in the U.N. system comes not from states, but from representatives of civil society. Vatican officials argue that a U.N. in which states counted more and these special interests counted less would actually be more democratic.

For these reasons, Migliore finds himself in a key position to help realize the Vatican’s global vision, and it will be very interesting to watch how he attempts to promote U.N. reform in coming months.

This pope wants to usher in the new world order, politically and religiously asap. This is from a legitimate Catholic website.
