Brothers and sisters, thank God we are not Catholic:
Pope Francis called Thursday for a bold cultural revolution to correct what he calls the "structurally perverse" economic system of the rich exploiting the poor that is turning Earth into an "immense pile of filth." [emphasis added]
You mean, like this one, your popeiness?
Is Francis even aware of what he's saying? It would seem so:
In a sweeping manifesto....
You mean like this one, your popeiness?
Could we call these leftwingnut "microaggressions"?
....aimed at spurring action in U.N. climate negotiations, domestic politics and everyday life, Francis explains the science of global warming, which he blames on an unfair, fossil fuel-based industrial model that he says harms the poor most.
The myth of global warming, he means. And "unfair" to whom? Fossil fuels made our modern technological civilization possible. They're a clean(able), comparatively inexpensive, accessible, and efficient source of energy, of which we have a millennium's supply even at today's rate of consumption, more than sufficient time for the free market to develop new energy sources like nuclear fusion, matter-antimatter reactors, and yes, solar power once we develop the capacity to efficiently collect and store it (which is at least fifty years away, by current estimates)
And those are the operative words: "free market". Or maybe just "free," a term that does not mean what pinkos like the Pope think it does, but a description of the ideal human condition. Freedom and liberty, cultural, political, and economic, has brought more autonomy and prosperity to more people than ever before in the history of humanity. Our ancestors would see us as living in a golden age to which they could never aspire, much less realize. Primitivism, ignorance, superstition, poverty, pestilience, tyranny, oppression, and yes, "immense piles of filth" have been the rule throughout our tenure on this planet, to which what Francis condemns has been the bright, shining exception.
And he, like the devil himself, twists Scripture to serve his own wicked purposes:
Citing Scripture and appeals by past Popes and bishops, he urges people of all faiths and no faith to undergo an awakening to save God's creation for future generations.
What arrogance to think that God needs us to "save His creation," or that we could ever imperil it. And note the "universalism" of that enciclical appeal; this isn't a spiritual treatise, a fulfillment of the Great Commission, but glorified anti-capitalist trolling. Which invokes II Corinthians 11:14: "No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light."
It's an indictment of big business and climate doubters alike.
"It is not enough to balance, in the medium term, the protection of nature with financial gain, or the preservation of the environment with progress," he writes. "Halfway measures simply delay the inevitable disaster.
"Put simply, it is a matter of redefining our notion of progress."
Up is down, right is left, forward is backward, wrong is right, and we are not at war with Oceania, Winston.
We have seen this all before....
....at the end of all leftwing "progress" lies the gulag and the mass graves.
Thus, it goes without saying that, far from being "Christian," Francis is an avowed pagan:
Francis said he hoped his effort would lead ordinary people in their daily lives and decision-makers at critical U.N. climate meetings later this year to a wholesale change of mind and heart, saying "both the cry of the Earth and the cry of the poor" must now be heard.
"This vision of 'might is right' has engendered immense inequality, injustice and acts of violence against the majority of humanity, since resources end up in the hands of the first comer or the most powerful: the winner takes all," he writes. "Completely at odds with this model are the ideals of harmony, justice, fraternity and peace as proposed by Jesus."...
[O]ne of Francis' core points is that there really is no distinction between human beings, their faith and the environment.
"Everything is related, and we human beings are united as brothers and sisters on a wonderful pilgrimage, woven together by the love God has for each of his creatures and which also unites us in fond affection with brother sun, sister moon, brother river and mother earth," he writes. [emphases added]
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures."
Here is your unholy "father," my Catholic friends:
"You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies."
Exit question: Isn't it fascinating how quickly the "wall of separation between church and state" comes a-tumblin' down when it gets in the way of the leftwingnut extremist agenda? And isn't it ironic that politics using religion - the state using the church - is precisely what the First Amendment was designed to prevent?
