Good post. Please see #139.
;-)
PS I agree about Rush. I like him very much and he has made mistakes in the past but was a gentleman of integrity when he discovered the error and apologized.
Wha??? Only well-educated people convert?? Hope I’m misinterpreting.
Seriously, in a general comment, Rush is again hinting at his unique interest in Catholacism. I realize he isn’t on the “intellectual” level of those posting here but it intrigues the hell out of me.
And neither do I.
After reading through this thread, I’m laughing at the righteous among us who continue to dismiss others here.
When this Pope decides to enforce excommunicating the likes of Pelosi, I’ll pay attention again. I wonder, just how can it be that a vast majority of what he says is always, always, always, misunderstood??
From each according to his abilities, Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex, the ugly ones included. Democracy is the road to socialism. The way people get their living determines their social outlook. Manifesto of the Communist Party Is Francis the False Prophet ? "Capitalism" is a pejorative term created by Marxists

to each according to his needs.
It’s the cult of personality.
Good point. And why is he always issuing updates to correct his past statements?
Just like Newt!
Thanks.
That’s an interesting link to Kresta in the Afternoon. I may listen to that audio on the way home.
And yes, I agree Rush has an excellent track record of admitting his mistakes as a gentleman. I certainly hope he repeats such behavior now.
I hope so too. So...let’s pray for him! ;-)
It seems that there was a Reform Movement

with that theme some time ago.
Bovine Excrement.
Rush uses the plain meaning of words, where psychopathic Catholics twist every word to suit their purposes of constant deception.
What I meant is that he is not speaking ex Cathedra on these issues; that’s all I meant. Sorry if it was misinterpreted.
The reason I posted what I did was based on the central theme of the encyclical in question, not portions of it, but the entire theme.
You may chose to ignore the central theme of the encyclical if you wish, basing your opinion of same on sound bytes and isolated quotes, but in doing so you miss the central point I emphasized. And to be blunt, to draw conclusions about the Pope’s economic preferences based on isolated quotes and sound bytes may be the “American way”, but it’s not intellectually honest.
There was a Reformation fought over this very issue.

“Latinos represented a minuscule portion of the population during RRs terms and their numbers inside the USA were not clear at all.”
When Ronald Reagan was elected in 1980 there were about 14.5 million hispancis, now maybe 52 million. So they were 6 percent of the population back then; 16 percent now. But they were still the second largest minority group in 1980.
“And remember RR brought the economy roaring back to life so there were plenty of jobs for everyone.”
Increased defense spending—which was urgently needed—was a big reason for that. But it was also under President Reagan that manufacturing jobs really started to move offshore (although that trend did begin in the 1970s) and we became more dependent on lower-paying service jobs and well-paying high tech jobs that most Americans have a hard time with.
“RR would likely not have built the border fence either because he didnt like walls.”
Reagan understood the difference between walls built to keep people in (e.g. Berlin) and to keep lawbreakers out (border fence).
Redirect... shame if you out The Poop...
Go away, please. Do not think that by criticizing a pope, a Catholic becomes a Protestant or anything else.
Well I suppose you can call me a heretic too, because while I am not a Catholic basher, I am also not a Catholic or any other religion for that matter.
I love Jesus Christ, and have faith in Him and know he exists, however, I do not trust religion, and I do not need any other human being to help me love Jesus. Were I alone on this earth, I believe He would still be with me.
I figured I’d tell you this about myself so that you know where I’m coming from, and perhaps I am coming from ignorance, but it is what it is.
I’m also saying Pope Francis isn’t reaching me, he’s pushing me away, and I’m not the only one who feels this way.
If that 1% is communism and/ or socialism, then the other 99% doesn’t matter and isn’t going to be heard by me.
Read this politician’s take on the Pope bashing. She is right on the money in her assertions. And guess what, she’s a democrat! A pro-life, pro-marriage, pro-family democrat. Although she is in the wrong party, I like her message.
