Does a small, largely unread editorial erase the power inherent in sweeping statements from the Vatican?
The flames are coming. However, it’s clear the Vatican will not say anything negative about 98% of what Obama is doing and in doing so it gives tacit approval to Obama’s policies.
Link? I can’t find it.
Maybe I can find it from my INFORUM page.
You can’t see the difference between paranoia and disgust?
(or just don’t wish to)
Of course I can.
That's why I said paranoia, not disgust.
Correction:
No, It is WBTTM
WILLFUL BLINDNESS TO THE MAX
Yes, he endorsed a global peacekeeper in his latest encyclical. Yes, he REJECTED the lack of morals of many NGOs in the world. I read that as a REJECTION of the UN, but an endorsement of global governance by a pro-life entity. Leftists interpret it as an endorsement of the UN.
Its time to pronounce the search function dead!
And that 'entity' is coming soon: The Lord Jesus christ's Millenial Reign.
Soooooooooooo atnys are now
diagnosing paranoia?
Horrifically poorly, it appears.
I think if I were your supervisor, I’d have you take the class on differential diagnosis, AGAIN.
I’ll take an order of Honey Roasted please...
LOL.
Note to the Pope: I’m NOT one of yer sheep.
The article made an objectively false claim. (In plain language: it lied.) I pointed out that lie.
Amazingly, the Vatican is not a shill for Obama, or for any other politician, or political position, or political party.
That means that sometimes they will agree with Obama.
Sometimes they will agree with you.
Sometimes they won't.
Too bad the anti-Catholic bigots who wrote the article didn't do their homework. The actual wording by the Vatican was actually rather tepid:
"The awarding of the Nobel Prize for Peace to President Obama is greeted with appreciation in the Vatican,"
The semi-official Vatican daily, L’Osservatore Romano, has called the decision to award President Obama with the Nobel Peace Prize premature and more of an invitation to choose peace through politics. The award is also questionable because of his position on various bio-ethics issues, especially abortion.
The article points out that “the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Barack Obama has taken everyone somewhat by surprise, first and foremost the U.S. president himself.”
“During the last 90 years,” L'Osservatore noted, “the prize has never been awarded to a sitting U.S. president—when it was awarded to Jimmy Carter in 2002 he had been out of office already for some time—[but was] involved in politics and susceptible, therefore, to making a range of decisions related to peace.”
Perhaps for this reason, the newspaper said, “Analysts have almost unanimously interpreted his selection as a way of pressuring Obama to make pacifist choices as his administration continues forward.”
Does a bouquet of flowers sent by your brother-in-law to your hospital room erase the beating that you took from his brother/your husband the night before?
Apparently it does, for some Catholics.
Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake: Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.
There is NO more effective voice against the genocidal abortionists and their "father the devil" than the Catholic Church. The Enemy, who knows this, will stop at nothing to try to silence the Catholic Church. Slander, of course, is the Enemy's favourite tactic for he is rightly called the Father of Lies. Sadly, many folks would rather listen to the evil whisperings of he who was "a murderer from the beginning" than to the truth.
Pray unceasingly, "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and power, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places."
