“That was exactly what ran through my mind when I read the headline - if he is generating this sort of wailing from the usual suspects, I suspect the Catholics managed to get themselves a decent Pope.”
I’m not sure about that, I heard on the Radio that this new pope is a crusader on “social justice”, as defined by some university theologians.
The fact that hes not an abomination lover doesn’t say anything beyond the fact that he has some respect for that part of scripture.
That's funny, I heard that he WAS NOT such a crusader.
Could be he opposes the rich Obamunist banksters, which I don't have any opinion on unless you twist my arm WAY back. And then I'll say, "I'm agin' gangsters and banksters."
It's not something that comes up "de fide," anyhow. Meaning if it's not a doctrine on faith and morals, it's "prudential judgment," and therefore not a question on which he can speak with authority.
Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt not covet.
Whatevery you did unto the least of My brethren, you did unto Me.
Those are the authoritative statements.
There is nothing wrong with the church promoting social justice as long as they use their ministries and own money to do it. The problem is when it enmeshes itself with what government ought to do.
Is he into global redistribution of wealth (social justice) - a global government with regulation and control powers, a global Fed and global taxation?
Just wondering if you know yet. I have reading to do about him. To many “intellecutals” there are two choices struggling for power - global fascism (the p.c. global business and bankster crowd who want to control the world’s people, governments and wealth) and global communism. We know commies hate him for being against commies.
