Populist Poppycock.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you God, for the mountain of blessings that just keep coming. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
The Catholic church has a history of putting out various messages, trying to appeal to every slant. When one message gets a complaint, they are quick to say that wasn't the Pope's actual words. Or, it's a translation problem. Hogwash.
Thinking themselves smart they become fools, where did I hear that?
You keep posting this and telling everyone that the "interpretation" from a known conservative site, Breitbart, is incorrect and leftist. However, you want us to believe that the translation from your site, Ignatius Insight, run by a bunch of known leftists , the Jesuits, is correct and conservative.
The Jesuits embrace Obama and every other leftist/socialist principle and you want us, the conservatives on FR, to ignore the truth and believe them? I don't think so!
If Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin don’t like the pope, they won’t care much for Jesus
#############################
If one likes the Bible, one won’t care much for what the Pope says
Sarah Palin complained that Pope Francis sounded “kind of liberal” in his statements decrying the growing global income equality between the rich and the poor (she has since apologized). Rush Limbaugh went one step further. “This is just pure Marxism coming out of the mouth of the pope,” he harrumphed into his giant microphone. Limbaugh, in his trademarked conspiratorial style, speculated that the pope’s tirade against “widespread corruption and self-serving tax evasion” must have been forced upon him by somebody else. “Somebody has either written this for [the pope] or gotten to him,” he said.
Limbaugh is right. Somebody did get to Pope Francis. It was Jesus....
Ping for later.
If Benedict wants to sell of the Vatican's $2.9 billion is securities, or turn the Sistine Chapel into a homeless shelter he is free to do so. Otherwise he should shut up and stop telling us what he won't do.
I know of no place in the world where “survival of the fittest” and “unbridled capitalism” hold sway, nor do I know of any economic system free of self-serving and corruption. The Pope speaks of sin and God’s will, not specific political systems or socioeconomic principles. The moslem sociologist lacks the contextual awareness to grasp the point of it all, but Rush was needlessly upset.
“whose actual job description is to speak for Jesus.”
We all serve Jesus, but we do NOT speak for Him, the Holy Spirit does.
I confess to no man, only to my Savior. I am a sinner, just as Paul was. Also, as those whom Jesus touched while here on earth.
Jesus did not bow the leaders. Nor do I.
Aslan's family came to the United States from Tehran in 1979, fleeing the Iranian Revolution. He grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. At the age of 15 he converted to evangelical Christianity. He converted back to Islam the summer before attending Harvard. In the early 1990s, Aslan taught courses at De La Salle High School in Concord, California.
Aslan holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in religions from Santa Clara University, a Master of Theological Studies degree from Harvard Divinity School, and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Iowa's Writers' Workshop, where he was named the Truman Capote Fellow in Fiction. Aslan also received a Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology, focusing in the history of religion, from the University of California, Santa Barbara. His dissertation was titled "Global Jihadism as a Transnational Social Movement: A Theoretical Framework".
In August 2000, while serving as the Truman Capote Fellow at the Iowa Writers' Workshop, Aslan was named Visiting Professor of Islamic Studies at the University of Iowa, becoming the first full-time professor of Islam in the history of the state.
Aslan was the 2012–13 Wallerstein Distinguished Visiting Professor at the Drew University Center on Religion, Culture & Conflict.
Aslan lives in Hollywood, California.
If it’s in”The Washington Compost”,I MUST DisAgree!If Jesus Christ isn’t a CHAMPION of”INDIVIDUAL LIBERTIES”,then who(besides The Founders)Is??????????????????????????
As demonstrated on September 11, 1857 at Mountain Meadows, Utah?
Rectal Azzman was introduced to me by a friend. Apparently he’s real keen on disproving Biblical history.
Thing is, his methodology isn’t so much in error as it is very concsiously contrived.
He is a blasphemer, a self Idolater and all around tool....well, jacks.
I forget what it was that ticked me off but, I watched some interview of him with a friend.
1st thought: Fag
2nd thought deciever.
Now, I forget the five points this intellectual narcissist was promulgating but, after my friend asked me thoughts I asked if they would be open to me refuting his so”special” brand of bullshit.
I was surprised when she said yes.
In 10 minutes I proved he was a fraud who is out to indermine Christianity.
She wanted to know why my view is more valid than this FK tard with pedigree on paper.
I told her I had God as my witness, no need to disprove his presence at all point of time and tier are just too many contemporary writers over the last 2,000 years to bolster the evidence of truth.
No one should give this Moslem his due or celebrate his contrivances.
He is a deceiver.
Nice quote. Why don't you give attribution.
The Pope would like an economic system that would have fewer poor.
Name one. And fewer than whom.
His job is to be Bishop of Rome.
How odd, that the mystical Wall Street GOP so richly supports liberal politicians of a socialistic bent.
An economic system that encourages conversion of nature’s store of material resources into useful goods and services through private enterprise, thereby creating real wealth and providing remunerative employment for those willing and able to work, would be a good thing.
He reluctantly left the Catholic Church. He didn't want to. He found where the Catholic Church strayed by Biblical testimony.
I'm not big on this pope. Unnecessary double-speak to cover his South American "Liberation Theology" indoctrination and leanings.
The LSM reporting of his words is probably more accurate of the pope's intentions than the views of those that are hoping that it really is possible "lost in translation" errors.
To whit, the lack of strong leadership from the Vatican on challenging and correcting the "erroneous" stories of the pope's statements.
JMO, YMMV
Never heard of Reza Aslan, but based upon this piece it’s no surprise he would write for the Wash. Compost.
Maybe Reza can refer to the scriptural basis for his contention that the Pope was quoting Jesus on the need to have Marxist government action to help the poor. All this while I thought the scriptures taught that we have an individual responsibility to do this, not delegate it to socialist government politicians and bureaucrats.
The liberals are quite amusing concerning statements from the Pope or any Catholic bishop. If the Pope says something they disagree with the typical leftist response if “well oh yeah well they’re all a bunch of child molesters” but then if the Pope or bishop says something they agree with then they say its his actual job to “speak for Jesus”.
