Pope Awards Medals to Celebrities George Clooney, Richard Gere, Salma Hayek

ope Francis honored American actors George Clooney and Richard Gere and actress Salma Hayek on Sunday, awarding them the “Olive Medal” for peace at a Vatican event.

The Vatican event was organized to promote the work of a foundation called Scholas Occurrentes (schools of encounter), which Clooney praised as “a wonderful program” that enables “many different religions to speak of inclusion, because we know that hatred and fundamentalist attitudes are learned and inculcated.”

It wasn’t clear from reports what the celebrities had actually done to merit the medals, although George Clooney is well known as a liberal activist and successful fundraiser for the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, with attendees paying as much as $353,400 per person at a recent event held at the actor’s home.

According to its website, Scholas is an International Organization founded in 2013 and operating under the auspices of the Vatican, which “connects technology with arts and sports in order to promote social integration and the culture of encounter for peace.”...

It’s not your Catholic brain. I’m not Catholic and I’m rebelling against it.
Pope is masquerading as a Christian.

Pendulum of culture swings back and forth. If you told me Donald Trump would be the GOP nominee two years ago, I would have laughed. Today, I’ll vote for the guy. All it takes for the Catholic world to straighten itself out is a big fat financial crisis that idiot left wing priests can’t find enough wealthy old white women to bullshit their way out of.

I’m not Catholic, but I do respect certain achievements of that branch of the Christian religion over the past 500 years. I don’t want to see it dribble away as an institution under an intellectually underachieving Argentinian.

The Pope Emeritus is starting to fade. I think he’s 89 and slowly nearing death.

Based on what? Mere age? Or had there been some actual incident to portray such weakness?

Want to see the video of the Pope trying to pin the medal on Hayek. That ought to be a hoot.

I would give Salma a medal .. just because.

Agreed. And here she is with Clooney. Her good works know no bounds.

So the old punchline, “Is the Pope Catholic?” just isn’t true anymore.

The Pope is no pope at all. He’s bought and paid for.
