Realities of our era? Do tell. Who’s realities; your’s, mine, the Sudanese Christin being persecuted or the Brazilian dying of dysentery?
The reality is is that America and capitalism are exactly what you and most of the freepers who regularly hector the pope accuse him and the Catholic Church of being: man made institutions filled with idols and false gods, the land of another gospel. Y’all act like America is some place special, a place to be proud of, why? Is it heaven, is it more holy than Canada or Java?
Time to face the real reality Quix, America and free market capitalism are nice and all, I like living here, but God’s creation and His children extend far beyond our borders and familiar economic system.
The only one world government the Pope calls for is one that recognizes the intrinsic worth of man due to his being created in the image and likeness of God and the kingship of the Lord. I would think you would welcome that.
How many years have you lived overseas?
How close to how much poverty have you been to overseas?
How much have you loved an overseas culture and people?
I’ll stack my understanding, experiences, perceptions and feelings in such matters up against yours any day.
Certainly the USA is full of secular etc. idols. And no few religious ones as well.
The Pope is clearly cling for a world political new order.
There’s NO ESCAPING THAT THE ONLY SUCH that is going to be remotely in the least bit of power . . . and rather tyrannical and complete it will be as Scripture is clear about
is the satanic global government.
What is he doing giving the least bit of a hint of support for
ANY
such regardless of how wrapped in platitudes and double-speak????
Sheesh.
