Educating a child takes a village, Pope says

CWN Editor's Note: Pope Francis strongly encouraged the work of the African Education Compact in a June 1 address, using language that will be familiar to Americans. “To educate a child, it takes a whole village,” he said.

The Pope recalled that he had launched the African Education Compact in 2019 “to emphasize that community dimension of education that has always been part of your millenary educational tradition.”

The Pope went on to say: “We look at Africa with great confidence, because it has everything it needs to be a continent capable of charting future paths.” The above note supplements, highlights, or corrects details in the original source (link above). About CWN news coverage.

“It takes a village of idiots to elect a Jesuit pope.”

Well the Catholic laity didn’t elect him. It was the (probably leftist homosexual) College of Cardinals responsible for that. I wonder how many Catholics actually like this guy? Only the non-devout could possibly approve of him.

Should the village be peopled with Christians or the village people?

I am not Catholic, but history may show that this man was far more damaging than any world leader to include our own.

He has destroyed the biggest bulwark against the social left in only a few years and the Catholic church is splintering into a “left - right dichotomy” of politics despite centuries of absolute doctrine.

Well, let's just say that Pope Francis took his papal name to celebrate a City By The Bay known for it's "unique and diverse" lifestyle choices and certainly not from some old dead white guy from Assisi

yes a Jesuit Marxist Argentinian pope— whose partners with the “church” of Chi-Coms are present all OVER Africa. To educate the villages in Pan-African Chi-Com Marxist Communism. For— the “Church” . You have it correct.

Excellent photo of two real crazy Marxist bozos. Here’s to the end of Bergoglio, and his carnal lackeys.

The other day I was reading this piece by a doctor who talked about some big medical convention he attended back in 1969. He said the main speaker was talking about the direction society was headed to in the future. He didn’t think much of it at the time, but then noticed that as time went on many of that speaker’s predictions started to come true. What that speaker said was that the elites wanted to get rid of the nuclear family and destroy the Catholic church. The thinking was that once Catholicism was destroyed, the other Christian denominations would fall along with it. These elites considered Catholics the greatest adversary to their plans.

The origin of the phrase “it takes a village” (in case someone forgot) is an African proverb. Rather than a family of husband,wife and children it says the group of people in town should raise the child——exactly as The Communist Manifesto.

How do you say it takes a village to raise a child in swahili?
Asiyefunzwa na mamae hufunzwa na ulimwengu
In Kiswahili the proverb “Asiyefunzwa na mamae hufunzwa na ulimwengu” approximates to the same.

Here is a good article on Communists and the family:
https://www.heritage.org/marriage-and-family/commentary/socialism-and-family

Excerpt on Hungary under Communism:

They quickly realized that the way to completely change society was to destroy the most important civil society institution, the family. Its culture and education commissar, George Lukacs, therefore instituted a system to instruct young children into sexual perversions.
Lukacs’s biographer described it this way: “Special lectures were organized in schools and literature printed and distributed to ‘instruct’ children about free love, about the nature of sexual intercourse, about the archaic nature of bour­geois family codes, about the outdatedness of monogamy, and the irrelevance of religion, which deprives man of all pleasure. Children urged thus to reject and deride paternal authority and the authority of the church, and to ignore precepts of morality.”

Proslavery apologist Henry Hughes said the same thing in 1854. He actually said plantation instead of village, but he was just using the Dimocrat vernacular when he wrote his book, “Treatise on Sociology, Theoretical and Practical.” The Dims must have liked it, they have been implementing his “Warranteeism” ever since.
