“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!
Luke 8:16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
How does the head of the Catholic Church come to the center of the Western World and not mention Jesus Christ and how he saves you from sin? This is what happens to everyone who promotes the cult of Marxism, they are overwhelmed and everything else is placed in a lesser position which includes God. It is really pretty sad what has happened to the Church with this Pope and the direction he is driving it.
The most obvious cult worship Pope Marxist is following is Global Warming. Just like evolution you have to believe the theory of GW by faith and not by logic and proof. There is no proof that there is any GW and most of the data point towards Global Cooling which is why they changed the name to Climate Change whatever that means. This is a form of worship since you have to believe there is Climate Change without being able to look at some form of cause and effect, only theory and following.
The Pope took his podium in the middle of America and lectured us on why we need to make drastic changes to protect the world from Climate Change. He has no idea or proof it is happening, only his blind obedience to science. This is not the role of the Pope he is a spokesman for God and Jesus Christ. He has turned his back on God and is following man. We did not hear him telling America to change its path and follow Jesus Christ, we heard about stopping Global Warming to save the world.
Liberalism and Marxism is a cult. It is a works based cult which follows man made tenets. Within the Church is the belief in Social Justice which says that everyone should give away their riches for the poor. This theory is pure Socialism that the successful have to feel guilty for their success and have their wealth taken from them. What these priests do not understand is that it is up to the individual to decide what he should give up outside of the tithe. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that the wealthy must give up their wealth only to help the poor. The church is to be a conduit for helping the poor, but the Social Justice priests believe the gummit should be allowed to do that.
Just like Evolution and Global Warming there is no proof whatsoever the gummit has ever helped the poor. Just like those cultish beliefs there is more proof of them causing more poverty than solving it? You only need to look at the poor countries to see an overbearing, corrupt Marxist regime over and over to realize that Social Justice does not work. In spite of all of the proof the Pope follows it fundamentally like most of his Priests and many of the Protestant pastors.
The main problem with Social Justice is who decides what is Just? Who decides what the right amount of wealth is and what is not, man? Whenever you have man deciding the right amount or what is too much you are following the wrong path. When you put your faith in man you are walking away from God and towards deception. Man is corruptible as we have seen over and over again and Social Justice is just another form of man being in control rather than God.
The Catholic Church has a Pope which is not by all appearances not following God, but is following man. This is the oldest battle on the planet and we have seen the results of it over and over again. The liberal cult is easy to follow since it is so seductive. It sounds so attractive to have everyone making the same and not being too much wealth or saving the earth from environmental catastrophe when none of those things are real. Just as it sounds wonderful to be tolerant of everyone, you have to be intolerant of those who disagree, so too does the Pope has to be intolerant of those who disagree with him which he deflects with his position.
The truth is the Pope has no political authority and only a moral authority given to him by the Church. He is only given his platform because he is the highest position in the largest church in the world. He is given a moral authority because his Church worshiped Jesus Christ for 2000 years and what he should have kept his words to. If he wants to preach a man made cult he can join one of millions of political voices preaching this cult rather than mixing the two. He has decided to use his position as a soapbox for Marxist activism which diminishes his authority.
He would have gained stature if he would have fought for the issues Christians have always fought for. He never mentioned that Jesus Christ died for your sins so you would not have to. He failed to mention that Jesus gave us a path to God and heaven through the perfect sacrifice which was a symbol of God’s prefect mercy for absolute forgiveness of our sins. You would think the only real reason for a Pope is spreading the word of God and saving people from the world not being part of the world. He has the moral authority given to him from worshiping God which is who he should have been lifting up. His not mentioning the sanctity of life as well as the abomination that it represents when God has ordered us not to kill is where his lectures should have been pointed. How could he lecture us on immigration when what many Christians are fleeing around the world is death and violence from Mooselimb terror another man made cult which preys on the weak?
Now we had another political hack come to the District of Corruption to lecture America about our shortcomings. Pope Francis is nothing more than any other leftist who believes his politics more than God. He brought no other words of value other than the token cliché of love your brother as yourself. There were no challenges to change your lives and country to follow God only more childish man made proclamations. He was no more trustworthy than Obama and for the most part sounded just like him with a thick Spanish accent. It is so sad to see someone who had a real opportunity to plant seeds into a lost generation but was too involved with his own Socialist dogma to be a candle to help enlighten God’s Holy Word.
Pray America wakes

I am a Catholic but I’m not offended by what you wrote, Bray. However, I am deeply saddened in that I have to agree with you.
Pope Francis is a political Leftist.
Just keep in mind that we do not hate America just because Obama is the president, so the same applies to my Church.
We want to SAVE both of them!!!
Great comments this morning.
The story that caught my eye is this one. Leave it to Democrats to bask in hypocrisy.

Brilliant essay. You touched on all the key issues going to Cuba alone was a huge misdeed by the pope.How can he talk with someone who has killed thousand of catholics tortured them and is unapologetic.Makes no sense. You captured the essence of a communist pope.
FOX News says Cruz is going to join them in a minute.
The problem is that the science shows otherwise. If the Pope were truly obedient to science and the scientific method, he would not be supporting man-made climate change.
How could he lecture us on immigration when what many Christians are fleeing around the world is death and violence from Mooselimb terror another man made cult which preys on the weak?
Agree. And the MSM in their loveliest on his visit glaringly ignored this.
Bray BUMP!
