Commie Pope
Pope Francis emerges as a Marxist while
the Christian world burns.
June
23, 2015
Two years into his reign, Pope Francis has emerged
as an extreme socialist obsessed with the usual phony leftist problems such as
manmade global warming, American institutional racism, and income inequality.
Muslims are indiscriminately slaughtering
Christians around the world while Christianity itself seems on the verge of
being eclipsed globally by Islam, but these things barely register with this
pope.
This pseudo-intellectual pope keeps on spouting the
same misanthropic Marxist platitudes as he hitches his papacy to global
warming, the new international totalitarian cause. Sounding like Mao Zedong,
Francis said a "bold cultural revolution" was needed to save the
planet.
The pope ignores the keen insight of former Czech
President Vaclav Klaus who likened environmentalists to watermelons: they are
green on the outside and red on the inside. After the collapse of the Soviet
Union leftists the world over migrated to the environmentalist movement and
began regurgitating the party line, which is that human activity, and in
particular, capitalism, is killing the planet. Mocking the Enlightenment,
Francis accepts their unscientific drivel on faith and in the process
transports the papacy back to the Dark Ages.
Christians and communists are the same, Francis
maintains. Communists are closeted Christians who "have stolen our
flag," he says. Why the pope would want to be associated in any way with
communists is unclear. He ought to know that it was V.I. Lenin who said,
"The more representatives of the reactionary clergy we manage to shoot,
the better."
Lenin and his successors in the U.S.S.R. followed
through. Priests, monks, and nuns were scalped, crucified, given Communion with
molten lead, drowned, strangled, and thrown into cauldrons of boiling tar. In
Republican Spain, nuns were raped before being shot, and people associated with
the church were forced to swallow rosary beads, thrown down mine shafts, and
made to dig their own graves before being buried alive in them.
Anyone with eyes knows that the proliferation of
capitalism over the past two decades has lifted a billion people out of dire
poverty -- and in coming decades is projected to rescue another billion from
pauperism -- but Francis robotically slams global capitalism, or
"globalization" as the Left calls it, foolishly blaming markets for
poverty. Markets, not handouts, accomplish humanitarian feats that the Roman
Catholic Church could never, ever hope to match.
It's one thing to preach charity and warn against
becoming preoccupied with worldly things, but the pope's harangues suggest he
actually believes capitalism, a system of abundance and uplift that is the
greatest eliminator of poverty the world has ever known, exploits and punishes
the poor.
Some of Pope Francis's statements sound like they
could have come from the deranged late dictator of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez. The
pope condemns technology, including air conditioning and automobiles, along
with consumerism, markets, inequality, waste, modernity, ideologies,
urbanization, suburbs,multinational corporations, and financial speculation.
Presumably he agrees with Bernie Sanders who said there are hungry children in
the world because we have too many different varieties of deodorants.
The pope sometimes says things one might expect to
hear coming from Michael Moore or Noam Chomsky. In one interview Francis ranted
against capitalism like a rabid community organizer.
We are discarding an entire generation to maintain an economic system that can't hold up any more, a system that to survive, must make war, as all great empires have done. But as a third world war can't be waged, they make regional wars ... they produce and sell weapons, and with this, the balance sheets of the idolatrous economies, the great world economies that sacrifice man at the feet of the idol of money, are resolved ...
V.I. Lenin, of course, shared this view that
capitalism creates warfare states.
And if he were alive today, Lenin would no doubt
rush to join the global warming cult in order to get communism on the march
again.He would be manning the barricades at an Occupy Wall Street rally while
the pope passionately embraces the boneheaded idea that so-called anthropogenic
climate change disproportionately affects the poor and is certain to hurt
impoverished people in the long run. He ignorantly opines in his new encyclical
titled Laudato Si' (Praised Be) that "[t]he earth, our home, is
beginning to look more and more like an immense pile of filth," smearing
those who disagree that mankind is ruining the planet by claiming they suffer
from "obstructionist attitudes." This rhetorical tack seems much like
the Marxist refrain that when the exploited masses fail to recognize their true
plight they are beset by a "false consciousness."
Republican officeholders don't
agree with the pope's big government solutions.
As National Journal reports, Rep. Steve King
of Iowa, a practicing Catholic, questioned the pope's activism. “When you talk
about unpredictable science, I have to ask where’s the nexus between that and
the theology of the Vatican?” King said. “I’ve studied the science … and I
doubt the pope is going to embrace my position. But this is science, not
theology.”
Another Catholic GOPer, Ohio Gov. John Kasich said:
The environment was given to us by the Lord and it needs to be taken care of. It shouldn't be worshiped; that's called pantheism. So I think the pope pointing out the fact that we need to take care of this environment is good. I don't agree with his conclusion that all of it is bad because of free enterprise because it's lifted people out of poverty and he cares about the poor and so do I.
Roman Catholics are not, strictly speaking,
required to obey papal encyclicals, but such high-profile communiques are
supposed to carry great moral authority given their source. Even if they
disagree with scientific or political statements in the document, Catholics are
expected to consider what the pope has to say. "I think people need to
accept that with an open and docile heart," Father Thomas Petri, vice
president and academic dean at the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception
in Washington, D.C., told the Catholic
News Agency.
By accepting the patently absurd theory that carbon
dioxide, the gas we all expel from our lungs that is also essential to life on
earth, is a pollutant, Francis is using his office to help environmentalists
argue for stricter regulations over industry. Carbon-emission restrictions
shrink economic output, leaving everyone including the poor with even less
money.
But unlike most popes, Francis doesn't just preach;
he organizes.
Saul Alinsky, a hardened atheist idolized by
President Obama and Hillary Clinton, would have loved this pope. Alinsky built
his community-organizing empire by infiltrating Catholic congregations. His
Holiness is infiltrating the U.S. government -- but President Obama isn't
worried because the two are ideological soulmates.
In March Holy See officials met with the far-left
EPA administrator, Gina McCarthy, to plot and scheme. Just this week McCarthy
implied global warming skeptics were subhuman. "Normal people," as
opposed to "climate deniers," have not placed "politics above
science" and "want us to do the right thing," she said.
In April the pope convened a summit that examined
the relationship between poverty, economic development, and climate change. UN
Secretary General Ban Ki-moon was the keynote speaker.
The pope has been working with notable global
warming alarmists, including left-wing American economist Jeffrey Sachs and
German climatologist Hans Joachim Schellnhuber. Sachs is the adviser who went
to post-Soviet Russia to counsel officials on how to transition to a market
economy. Instead of arguing for something even remotely resembling laissez-faire
capitalism, he pushed for a mixed economy with a strong central government
holding the upper hand. In other words, Sachs is one of the reasons Russia is
now a fascist state, rife with cronyism and corruption.
Timothy E. Wirth of the United Nations Foundation
delights in the pope's radical enviro-activism. "We've never seen a pope
do anything like this," Wirth said. "No single individual has as much
global sway as he does."
At the First Things website, Maureen Mullarkey
takes on Francis, saying he "sullies his office by using demagogic
formulations to bully the populace into reflexive climate action with no more
substantive guide than theologized propaganda." This pope, "an
ideologue and a meddlesome egoist," suffers from "megalomania"
and "views man as a parasite."
Francis is solidly plugged in to the American Left.
Earlier this month community organizers and union thugs flew to Rome to
collaborate with Vatican officials in advance of the pope's scheduled visit to
the U.S. in September.
As the National
Catholic Reporter reported June 9:
A group of some 20 American community organizers and union leaders are holding meetings with Vatican officials this week to sway Pope Francis into addressing a number of lingering national social justice issues in his upcoming visit to the United States.Organized by the national faith-based action network PICO and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the leaders are meeting with four pontifical councils, the head of two pontifical academies, leadership of two global religious orders, and the executive director of Caritas Internationalis.Among the key issues they are asking officials to advise the pope to consider discussing with President Barack Obama or during his address to Congress: immigration reform, economic injustice for low-wage workers, pervasive racism in U.S. institutions and society, and mass incarceration.
Not surprisingly, it seems like the spin doctors of
Vatican City are coordinating with the Obama White House communications office
to maximize the public impact of their misinformation campaigns.
This past weekend as Obama was ramping up his
umpteenth anti-gun propaganda effort, Francis ridiculously asserted that those
who make or invest in weapons cannot be considered good Christians.
He condemned "people, managers, businessmen
who call themselves Christian and they manufacture weapons. That leads to a bit
of distrust, doesn't it?" This statement comes from a man whose
predecessors commanded a real-life Papal Army up until 1870.
Pope Francis has been promoting Obama's foreign
policy monstrosities. Cuba's Communist dictator Raul Castro thanked the pope
last month for brokering the deal that set in motion the ongoing restoration of
diplomatic relations between the U.S. and that Caribbean island hellhole.
Last summer the pope condemned America. As wave
after wave of unaccompanied minors washed over the U.S.-Mexico border, Francis
whined, complaining that the illegal aliens' "rights are violated
... unfortunately, [they] continue to the subject of racist and
xenophobic attitudes."
Lately Francis started resembling President Obama.
Obama doesn't care much that Christians are being slaughtered overseas by
Islamists and the pope, it seems, isn't doing as much to help these Christians
as he could. And like Obama, the pope has come to the rescue of homicidal
Muslims on multiple occasions.
Late last year around the time Islamic State and
other Muslim militants were busy torturing and killing Christians (often using
grisly methods such as crucifixion) in Nigeria, Indonesia, Somalia, Libya,
Central African Republic, Uganda, Lebanon, Kenya, Pakistan, Sudan, and Iraq, Pope
Francis gave Islam the seal of approval.
"Islam is a religion of peace, one which is
compatible with respect for human rights and peaceful coexistence," he
said. On a separate occasion he said, "authentic Islam and the proper
reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence."
Jihadist violence is merely an offensive
stereotype, according to the bishop of Rome. He called on Muslims to promote a
"more authentic image of Islam, as so many of them desire." This, of
course, mirrors the stated dogma of President Barack Hussein Obama who speaks
in monotone about his alleged Christianity but waxes poetic when reflecting on
Islam.
And just as Obama ignores the never-ending
"death to America" chants by senior Iranian officials, the pope
doesn't appear to take seriously the Islamic State's threats to kill him and
conquer Rome. In March the pope told reporters that if he is assassinated he
hopes death will be quick. "I'm a real scaredy cat when it comes to
physical pain."
The pope is squandering his moral authority by
pretending that Islam is a religion of peace and that cutting an unenforceable
deal on nuclear weapons with the mullahs of Iran is a fine idea.
President Obama, obviously, buys into the same
nonsense, but unlike the pope, he ran out of moral authority long ago.
In many ways, Pope Francis is the opposite of Pope
John Paul II, who was canonized last year.
Saint John Paul the Great was the Polish-born
former Karol Wojtyla. He was ordained after the U.S.S.R. took over Poland and
made it a satellite state. While the Iron Curtain still existed, John Paul
stood heroically against Communism, the great cancer of the twentieth century.
He miraculously survived a KGB-sanctioned
assassination attempt in 1981 and an al-Qaeda-funded attack was foiled in the
Philippines in 1995. Polish secret police tried in 1983 to embarrass John Paul
by claiming he fathered an illegitimate child. The Soviet Union had wanted to
eliminate this proud son of Poland because he supported the Solidarity trade
union movement that gave his homeland's dictatorship heartburn.
John Paul reportedly sent a letter in 1980 to
then-Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev vowing to fight if the U.S.S.R. took
action against Poland. If the Soviets acted, he said he would "lay down
the crown of St. Peter and return to his homeland to stand shoulder to shoulder
with his people."
The defenders of Pope Francis try to paint him as
above politics. They say, unconvincingly, that he rejects Marxism, liberation
theology, and unrestrained capitalism.
It is clear the one thing this pope rejects the
most is freedom.

Pope Francis is fake

Pope Francis (Latin:
Franciscus; Italian:
Francesco; Spanish:
Francisco; born Jorge
Mario Bergoglio, 17 December 1936) is the 266th
and current Pope of
the Roman Catholic Church, a title
he holds ex officio as Bishop
of Rome, and sovereign of Vatican
City. He chose Francis as his papal name
in honor of Saint Francis of Assisi. Francis is the
first Jesuit
pope, the first from the Americas, the first from the Southern Hemisphere and the first non-European
pope since Syrian Gregory III, who died in 741.
Born in Buenos
Aires, Argentina, Bergoglio worked briefly as a chemical technologist and nightclub bouncer[2]
before beginning seminary studies. He was ordained a Catholic priest in 1969, and from 1973
to 1979 was Argentina's provincial superior of the Society
of Jesus. He was accused of handing two priests to the National Reorganization Process
during the Dirty
War, but the lawsuit was ultimately dismissed. He became the Archbishop of Buenos Aires in 1998, and
was created a cardinal in 2001 by Pope
John Paul II. He led the Argentine Church during the December 2001 riots in Argentina,
and the administrations of Néstor Kirchner and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner
considered him a political rival. Following the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI
on 28 February 2013, a papal conclave elected Bergoglio as his
successor on 13 March.
Throughout
his public life, Pope Francis has been noted for his humility, emphasis on
God's mercy, concern for the poor, and commitment to interfaith dialogue. He is credited with having
a less formal approach to the papacy than his predecessors, for instance
choosing to reside in the Domus Sanctae Marthae guesthouse rather
than in the papal apartments of the Apostolic
Palace used by his predecessors. In addition, due to both his Jesuit and Ignatian
aesthetic, he is known for favoring simpler vestments void
of ornamentation, including refusing the traditional papal
mozzetta cape upon his election, choosing silver instead of gold for his piscatory
ring, and keeping the same pectoral
cross he had as cardinal. He maintains that the church should be more open
and welcoming. He does not support unbridled capitalism,
Marxism, or
Marxist versions of liberation theology. Francis maintains the
traditional views of the church regarding abortion, euthanasia, contraception,
homosexuality, ordination of women, and priestly celibacy. He opposes consumerism,
irresponsible
development, and supports taking action on climate
change, a focus of his papacy with the promulgation of Laudato
si'. In international diplomacy, he helped to restore full diplomatic relations between the U.S. and
Cuba.
