Up late, and watching CNN and the Pope has landed on the Greek island of Lesbos, and the "refugees" have smartphones taking pictures and selfies with the Pope.
The pope a dope is telling Europe that it should bring in another million savages to rape women, burn things, take money and slice necks.
Pope Muhammad Marx ,,,
Condemn the pope in your invincible ignorance, throw fuel on the fire that is your western demise. First you lose faith and hope, and now charity. Burn baby burn.
It's impossible that he is this ignorant of history.
It’s so easy for him to tell the world to embrace difficult enemies. Not so easy for him to live it out.
Sometimes it is possible, through the love of Christ, but this isn’t going to look like open ended permission which is what our current refugees are seeing and abusing.
What makes you believe that socialists masquerading as “liberation theology” priests could never rise to power within the Church, force out a living pope, and install a secret Marxist?
Because in the opinion of millions of devout, Mass-going Catholics, that is exactly what has happened.
The liberation theology crowd might be purporting to supply a replacement for what Catholics have felt is missing in their communion — just a theory.
Face it, it hasn’t been easy for the Roman church to back out of the church/state melange model. It hasn’t even been easy for Protestants to do it, and the first ones didn’t fall all that far from the tree, knowing no other kind of world.
What’s really missing, IMHO, is a world-independent kind of agape love. If that came back, virtually all Christendom would transcend denominational differences in a light whose sparkle has scarcely been seen since the bible-era church.
Get the right thing going and the wrong thing will be crowded out.
I had a thought, and it isn’t as trivial as it sounds. Poor suffering desperate refugees with smart phones. Strange. But if they’re in such desperate situations, how do they have the electricity sources to keep the cell phones charged?
And Francis’ Marxist bent isn’t all that secret. It’s just dressed in Christian colors.
He didn’t get there at random. Someone powerful wanted him there.
Were they issued solar panels too? There’s so much not explained.
Give these guys AK-47s and 4WDs, and this is a vision of the next Thirty Year’s War, not the last.

Watch the first one or two 12-minute segments, or the entire film. We are going to live through horrors on this level or worse before the balance is restored, if ever, and probably not in our lifetimes or our childrens’ lifetimes.
This is our future, I very sadly believe. Before the light returns there will be a lot of dark.
(And give the attackers crescents instead of crosses.)
More than one someone. An entire generation of socialist “liberation theology” priests are coming into power, and are now able to secretly support one another, so the process will rapidly accelerate.
I understand you’re looking at it from the point of view of earthly wars.
I’m thinking more about spiritual wars, which might or might not give rise to formal earthly wars. Sometimes they can just embroil a society into chaos, into a kind of smoldering civil war in all but name.
Love it, Great optiks. They relay the issues much better than any of my dissertations.
Is the one with the Vatican wall and the sign pointing out women & girls —> also one of your compositions?
If you have read my short story “Alas, Brave New Babylon,” then you know what I see ahead for our children.

Spiritual wars I will leave for each person to contemplate.
Each area of Christendom has its own virtues and blind spots. Rot in Roman Catholic circles doesn’t look like rot in Protestant circles which in turn doesn’t look like rot in Orthodox circles.
From the viewpoint of rot, it looks for rich resources that are guarded poorly and misdirected easily, offering it up to the devil.
I try more or less to keep an ecumenical view of Christ, perhaps similar to what C. S. Lewis did. Individual faults have a way of paling before the grace of God, but the grace of God has to be sincerely let into a picture. The activity welcomed has to be heavenly, or else it is going to be worldly and spiritual chaos and destruction will ensue.
I try to spread memes, hoping to get them to facebook, because let's face it, most Americans will never read more than a paragraph or two about ANYTHING. To get their attention and influence their thinking, a message must be contained in a snappy image. Sign of the times.
It takes me about 2 minutes to make a basic meme by copying a likely photo to MS "Paint" (every PC has it) and adding text. Then I post it to FB, and copy the URL to post it here. Two minutes for a basic meme, maybe ten minutes for a more complex one with multiple images etc.
My goal is not to impress freepers, but to get them to post memes on FB so their "friends" will see them and share them.
Well if you leave that alone, it will not leave you or the world alone. It won’t return the favor. It’s committed to attack, steal, kill, and destroy.
I’d sooner bother it, through embracing the Lord.
We are far past the point where this will self-correct based on the inherent goodness within the human heart.
FAR past.
