Pope Francis Echoes Biden

Pope Francis Echoes Biden

He repeats the call to “build back better.”

The anticipated political alliance between Pope Francis and Joe Biden is already beginning to form. The pope recently tweeted out that society needs to “build back better,” which is one of Biden’s signature phrases.

Both Biden and Pope Francis gravitate to the jargony rhetoric of the United Nations. In a recent New York Times op-ed, the pope sounded almost like a parody of a globalist ideologue, calling for a COVID-inspired reset: “We cannot return to the false securities of the political and economic systems we had before the crisis. We need economies that give to all access to the fruits of creation, to the basic needs of life: to land, lodging and labor.”

This is what’s foremost on the pope’s mind — not religion and morality, but politics and economics. And on these temporal matters he finds himself in the same company as Joe Biden. They both would like to see the coronavirus crisis serve as a pretext for bigger government and more socialist economics. They would agree with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who said, “This pandemic has provided an opportunity for a reset. This is our chance to accelerate our pre-pandemic efforts to reimagine economic systems that actually address global challenges like extreme poverty, inequality and climate change.”

Speaking of the pope’s preoccupation with economy and politics instead of spreading the good news of Jesus, Mark 8:33 shows that Jesus had rebuked Peter for not having in mind the things of G-d, but the things of men.

“We cannot return to the false securities of the political and economic systems we had before the crisis."

What "false securities" is he talking about? Why doesn't this addled old idiot warn us of the dangers of the false PROMISES of the left, which always lead to poverty, one-party rule and party-based favoritism in jobs and hiring, forced labor camps, religious persecution, political purges and mass murder, the loss of a free press, and the erosion of basic civil rights?

Actually, Biden plagiarized the Brits on that slogan. So Bergoglio is plagiarizing a plagiarizer.

Too bad Catholics can recall their leaders. This guy is an unmitigated disaster.

He is just vying for a position in the new world order. Church members of all denominations need to check to see where their tithes and offerings ultimately go. You would be surprised. Some congregations don’t own the church they built and if they decide to not go along with the powers that be. . .they lose it. I saw a little country church 100 years old fold because they did not agree with their denomination’s social agenda. So sad. . . and it was built and then remodeled $$$$$$ soley by the congregants.

One can ALWAYS put in ONE $ into the offering plate - that sends a strong message

So Moses stood at the entrance to the camp and said, “Whoever is for the LORD, come to me.” But Frankie stayed with the Biden camp.

We can. We can very much. The problem is, a great Conservative Pope was forced to resign to make way for this heretic, not the other way around.

This Apostate Pope should concentrate on building back the Church better. He did a fine job of betraying the faithful, not to mention the Lord Himself.

But, I believe everything is either God-given, or God-used.

What is going on now in the Catholic Church is actually separating the wheat from the chaff. The Church will end up smaller, but stronger.

Pope Francis is not really a pope. He is a socialist politican! That’s clear!

Anybody else notice that this “pope” is more excited about joe one-finger biden than he is about a certain Jesus of Nazareth?

Buiid Back Better is Deep State. First, they want the Great Reset (collapse the US economy and cause worldwide panic) then they swoop in and save the day—”Build Back Better.”

But Trump won’t let them.

.............................................
It may be because the addled old fool is an evil pawn of the tyrants of the left, OR it could be that he is simply too stupid to grasp the magnitude of the evil. In either case he represents a mortal threat to our Constitutional Republic and to our survival and well-being. He therefore needs to be GONE, along with that skank who may become President after he’s rolled, drooling at the mouth, through the doors of some nursing home!
