The Vatican Goes to Bat for Biden

The Vatican Goes to Bat for Biden

FrancisChurch provides him with cover.

In 2016, the Vatican was pulling for Hillary Clinton. Just days before the presidential election, Pope Francis renewed his criticism of politicians who speak about erecting “walls.” This led Slate and other publications to run such headlines as “It Sure Sounds Like Pope Francis Doesn’t Think Americans Should Vote for Trump.” Several Francis-friendly prelates ran interference for Hillary Clinton. San Jose’s bishop, Patrick McGrath, wrote a letter to his flock in which he said that Donald Trump’s complaint of a rigged system “borders on the seditious.” According to the Italian press, many of Pope Francis’s aides viewed Trump’s victory as a “bitter defeat.”

In 2020, the Vatican is once again running interference for a pro-abortion Democrat. Joe Biden fashions himself as a Pope Francis Catholic. He brags about his cozy relationship with Pope Francis. In 2016, the Vatican invited Joe Biden to a conference about medicine, a scandalous invite given that Biden supports making scientific use of aborted embryos. Biden gushed about the anti-capitalism of Pope Francis: “We need to create a culture which, as Pope Francis reminds us, cannot just be based on the worship of money. We cannot accept a nation in which billionaires compete as to size of their super-yachts.”

So it is no surprise that such Vatican officials as Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia are helping Biden by downplaying his abortion stance. Last week Paglia served up some mush about the dangers of abortion politics, according to Crux: “As US presidential elections heat up ...

The Church, and many other religions and secular organizations, has made billions directly from the US Treasury under the open borders one world government Refugee Resettlement Program. It was no coincidence Francis stood at the border and denounced the wall, it was sheer greed and anti-Americanism.

At least it would pay for their stupid policies.

And give the tax money that would have been spent on local church needs to government programs just as bad.

LOSE-LOSE.

And of course, there is no way this would just stop with Catholics. Evangelicals, Baptists, Lutherans, Orthodox, Jews, Mormons, etc. would all be swept in.

Now look, just because Frannie-poo and his fellow travs support gay marriage, gender dysphoria, firearm confiscation, open borders, divorce, pro-abortion politicians, Uighur genocide, and the Islamofascism, doesn't mean that... wait, what?

It always amuses me to see anyone from the Vatican say anything about the USA but most especially about our political process.

We have a very fine Constitution and a bunch of Amendments though there are many Americans (but not the majority—apparently the young mostly illiterate young ones) who would have us ignore our system of laws, type of governance and methods to arbitrate disagreements. There is nothing in any of that that says we must do what any religion thinks would be best for that religion or its proud disciples.

I do recall being absolutely aghast that this scurrilous human known as the “POPE” was actually selected for the post. It defies all logic considering his history.

Of course droves and droves of Catholics left the church as the “new Pope” does not adhere to more or less traditional Catholic teachings...but seems to be aping the Communist doctrine...who is surprised?

In a real sense it is similar to the situation here in the States...we have ignorant, poorly schooled, without being taught what logic is and how to use it to determine the relative truth of any statement groups, huge numbers of young people who cannot figure out how to give correct change for a purchase.

People in that position are very susceptible to a grand lie, perfectly harmonious untruths, etc. As a consequence we have a rebellion in our major cities of young people who have never been really hungry or done without much.

It is going to be interesting to figure out the Church will intercede since they approve, apparently, with a continuous state of mayhem against all laws, etc of the ONLY nation on Earth that actually is a wealthy nation.

More evidence that Biden will lose.
If this terrorist “Pope” is campaigning for Biden then Biden is finished. He indirectly campaigned for Hilary Clinton too. How did that work out?
No sane person takes directives on how to vote from this pedophile supporting “Pope”.

They’ve all become pretty much political organizations masquerading as Churches.

It’s a very difficult thing having a marxist for a pope. It is hard to wrest power from the Pope.

assuming he is a Marxist, they don’t usually even believe in God which makes me wonder what he really believes.

Catholicism is our religion not a country where we can wage physical war to take over.

It is certainly not much of a democracy. And I am sure the pope tries his best to prepare for the next Pope being in the mold he wants.

A schism? Perhaps. We have a godless Communist as a pope. If that’s not a good enough reason to break off I don’t know what is. He is not a true Catholic.

Very strange and difficult times

The Vatican also sold out to the CCP - supporting Biden is part of that sale.

All the Cardinals who voted for Bergoglio are fellow Marxists.

The Democrats, who know nothing about religion except that they hate it, will show Catholics pictures of Biden with the pope. Since they know nothing about Catholics except that they hate our doctrines, they will think this will sway many Catholics to vote for Biden. Fake, non Catholic-Catholics maybe be swayed but actual Catholics will not be because we have very little good feeling toward Francis. He has very little influence among us. How do I know? As I correctly predicted six years ago, when Francis came to America Mass attendance did not increase one little bit and in fact started a decline which is still going on today.

You guys need to focus on Paglia.... this Pope is controlled by Paglia and his crew.... The real power needs to be exposed...”Reform the Curia” is the same as “drain the swamp”.... with Paglia doing a Lindsley Graham protective cover up. Real change will not happen until those facilitators are exposed and removed...

ATTACK THE SOURCE....not the symptom..... That is where the power Always lies....

George and the boys just keep shooting the messenger.....Over and over and over.......

BREAKING:
Chinese Communist Newspaper ENDORSES JOE BIDEN
24News ^ | 08-20-2020 | Joe Callen
by Joe Callen No folks, this is NOT ‘The Onion.’ The Global Times is a daily tabloid newspaper and voice of the Chinese Communist Party in Beijing.On Thursday (China time), on the same day as Joe Biden’s much anticipated Democrat Party convention speech, the Chinese Communist newspaper endorsed Joe Biden for President of the United States.
The Global Times says Joe Biden may reactivate the job-killing TPP and the Iran nuclear deals pushed by the Obama administration. China is rooting for a weak America. Trump is rooting for a strong America.

This was quite an endorsement.

I’ve wrestled with leaving the church as well, but have decided not to make a decision based on this political commie Pope. He is just a man, after all, and I don’t go to church to worship him. I don’t think Jesus would’ve picked him.

The pope, who facilitated the iran nuclear deal, and the bammy castro deal (yes he did) is interfering in the US election, and no one is surprised.

Hey pope-a-dope! I’m not a billionaire, or a millionare, but a thousandaire, and I don’t have a yacht.

Go back to your red shoes and white dress.
