Vatican readmits leftist thinking

Blaming "Churches" is just another cop out to avoid looking in the mirror.

No it isn't. They rationalized theft and envy opening the floodgates.

Instead of repenting they won't even acknowledge what they have done.

Now at the 11th hour as the whole western world is about to collapse, they are pushing more of the same.

Don’t the Papists vote in the majority for Dems anyway?

Sell off the art collection in the vatican and all the gold decorating the churches, especially in Spain, is enough ..

- The Northen California Catholic Hosital Building Fund has 3 billion dollar$ in its coffers since the 1980`s-

It never goes down-

They use the interest for building catholic hosptitals in northern California-

There hasn`t been a new catholic hospital built in Northern California since 1970.

I spoke with the head of the organization in the 1990`s.

Big money and church hospitals do not mix well at all. When Providence hospital needed money they were merged with a private hospital; they didn`t get a cent from this "fund:

There are crooks everywhere in the church.

When Our Lady of Angels Hospital needed money, same story- not a cent from this "fund"

I was the liason person for the Northern California Asian Catholic Community to the Chancery of the Oakland Diocese.

"Liquidating Catholic institutions" ---
a powerful idea
to unite the Umma and
(a certain subset of)
FReepers.

Inshallah!

What is that pictorial description of the Voris/CA feuding doing on this thread?

[LadyDoc]

there is a difference between supporting the poor and supporting a theology that replaces Jesus with a socialist state.

Here in the Philippines, the bishops are against the rich folks who have a monopoly on business and the government while stealing everything in sight. That is not quite the same thing as liberation theology....

Of course, what they don’t push is the idea of capitalism as the way to increase the wealth for the poor...so the up and coming middle class are often protestant: these churches stress personal responsibility and honesty...making jobs for the poor, not donating to the poor with the right hand while you accept bribes with the left hand.

Uh huh

Fox is in the henhouse again

[wardaddy]

Its all most unfortunste

[FreedomNotSafety]

You are correct. So what does this Pope want?

[Little Ray]

Hey, they want us to divest ourselves of our culture, borders, language, and treasure. Turn about is fair play. I’d rather see the Vatican disappear than the US.

The real story...............

Peace Made Between Müller and Gutiérrez. But Bergoglio Isn’t Falling For It.

The prefect of the congregation for the doctrine of the faith and the founder of liberation theology are trying to conclude twenty years of polemics. But one of the most severe critics of this theological current has been precisely the current pope.

[Little Ray]

Thank you VERY much!
Still don’t really understand.

Judging by what he's done in the past he wants the Church to go back to being a source of Christian charity and only cooperate with other groups or government agencies to the extent that it can be done as a Christian effort.

Basically an end to "NGO" games and a return to clearly Christian Charity as opposed to going along to get along.
