La Croix ^ | 11/9/17 | Christa Pongratz-Lippitt

The US president should stop making threats and start negotiating with North Korea’s strongman, says Abbot Primate-emeritus Notker Wolf.

Abbot Notker Wolf, the former representative head of all Benedictine monks and nuns throughout the world, has called on US President Donald Trump to stop making ominous threats against Communist North Korea and meet its leader Kim Jong Un “on an equal footing”.

“I know from personal experience that one can negotiate with the North Koreans,” the abbot said in a November 4th interview with the German Catholic press agency KNA.

Wolf, who headed the Archabbey of Sankt Ottilien in Bavaria for twenty-three years prior to serving sixteen more (2000-2016) as the Rome-based Abbot Primate of the Benedictine Confederation, has made more than ten extended...

I guess the leadership of the Catholic Church is rotten.

“Trump is More Dangerous than Kim Jong Un, Says Former Head of Benedictines”

I was actually going to comment that I was expecting such a statement to come from Trump’s detractors any day now.

But I could not bring myself to believe they would actually verbalize this.

Now they have.

The left actually idolize tyrants like Kim Jong Un. They wish they could rule over us the way he rules over his subjects. But that will never happen.

Perhaps if the Abbot would read his own descriptions of North Korea in the article, he’d realize what a fool he’s being. He describes Hell on Earth. It took him 8 years to negotiate a hospital, so he thinks negotiating their nukes away can work? ??

“I know from personal experience that one can negotiate with the North Koreans,” [Abbot Primate-emeritus Notker Wolf] said …
So where were you back in the 1990s when we needed to keep nukes out of Kim Jong-il’s hands?

Yeah; thought so. Twanging away on your Devil-music instrument.

Kim Jong sex and murder

Kim Jong Un’s depravity and abuses of power have no bounds, extending even to North Korea’s upper echelon. The North’s authoritarian regime snatches teenagers out of school to be his sex slaves, forces members of the country’s upper class to watch executions and Kim is perfectly content to eat expensive lunches while his people subsist on grass, a defector told the Daily Mirror this week.

In order to protect the defector, The Mirror did not publish her real name nor the names of her family members, but refers to her as Hee Yeon Lim and states she’s a 26 year old whose father was a senior officer in Kim’s regime. Hee spoke to the British news outlet in a secret location in Seoul, South Korea days after Kim and his regime conducted its sixth nuclear test this month.

Hee claimed supreme leader Kim forces those in the walled-off country’s “upper-class elite” to watch executions, and said she was witness to a mass execution of 11 musicians who were put to death by an anti-aircraft gun shortly after Kim took over for his late father Kim Jong Il in 2011. The musicians were killed over allegedly making a pornographic video, and Hee said 10,000 people witnessed their execution.

Unless we give up our guns.

And that ain’t going to happen, either.

Maybe Abbot Notker Wolf’s judgement is the reason he is the former head of all Benedictines?

It sounds like the former head of the Benedictines might be a moron. Or maybe just another commie.
