Full title: Pope Francis Condemns Racism And Declares That “All Religions Are True” At Historic Third Vatican Council

The original content on this blog is largely satirical.

“I ceased in the year 1764 to believe that one can convince one’s opponents with arguments printed in books. It is not to do that, therefore, that I have taken up my pen, but merely so as to annoy them, and to bestow strength and courage on those on our own side, and to make it known to the others that they have not convinced us.” – Georg Christoph Lichtenberg.

It is in the spirit of the above quote that I write. Who am I you may ask? My name is Erik Thorson. I created this blog for my own personal amusement.

You've been warned.

Very good. Read the post #1 comment again please.

Indeed, except the reason it’s satirical is that many of us would not be surprised if it were true.

Omitted from the article but needing to be noted for fairness and authorship credit (or debit) is the teaching of:

SRI SYADASTI SYADAVAKTAVYA SYADASTI SYANNASTI SYADASTI CAVAKTAVYASCA SYADASTI SYANNASTI SYADAVATAVYASCA SYADASTI SYANNASTI SYADAVAKTAVYASCA commonly called just SRI SYADASTI

"His name is Sanskrit, and means: ``All affirmations are true in some sense, false in some sense, meaningless in some sense, true and false in some sense, true and meaningless in some sense, false and meaningless in some sense, and true and false and meaningless in some sense.'' He is an Indian Pundit and Prince, born of the Peyotl Tribe, son of Gentle Chief Sun Flower Seed and the squaw Merry Jane. Patron to psychedelic type Discordians. Patron of the Season of Confusion. Holyday: May 31. NOTE: Sri Syadasti should not be confused with Blessed St. Gulik the Stoned, who is not the same person but is the same Apostle."

There is no doubt that the Pope and Council weighed these teaching heavily when arriving at their conclusions.

We live in interesting times where satire is difficult to distinguish from truth.

We have a pope who bashes capitalism and tells others to solve homeless problems although he presides over the largest private landowner in the world.

We have a gay Muslim Marxist in the White House who hates the majority of Americans.

10 years ago, both of these would have been satire stories in The Onion.

[knarf]

ANYthing put out and read, especially without a disclaimer, thus allowing data to be inputted becomes an element of confusion in the psyche.

I think satire should be ceased until we reclaim our true American psyche.

THEN we can play with our brains.

[oblomov]

Is this the Vatican Council where they decide to bring in Cousin Oliver?

[Vanders9]

Satirical? Or prophetic? The depressing thing is that it all sounds very plausible. I can SEE something like that happening (not with this pope mind) but in my lifetime.

Western civ has a death wish.

[markomalley]

I think satire should be ceased until we reclaim our true American psyche.

As long as we allow ourselves to be twisted around by the popular media, as long as we don't examine EVERYTHING carefully, as long as we suffer from childlike credulity, we will never reclaim a so-called "true American psyche."

When reading ANYTHING (I don't care about the source), we must be skeptical and look for an agenda.

Good satire can help us with that.

[shibumi]

Isn’t it about now when someone is supposed to come on the thread and complain that someone didn’t put the word “SATIRE” in 24 point boldface flashing red in the title?

[twister881]

Change “Pope” to “Presiding Bishop,” and you have a factual article about the Episcopal Church, which ceased being a Christian denomination years ago.

How many fundamentalists are only going to read the headline?

Thanks.

[markomalley]

How many fundamentalists are only going to read the headline?

How many Catholics, SSPXers, or sedevacanists are only going to read the headline?

Thanks.

You're welcome.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

How many Catholics, SSPXers, or sedevacanists are only going to read the headline?

Good point.

So what's the point of sewing unnecessary division?

[markomalley]

So what's the point of sewing unnecessary division?

Who's sewing division.

See post #11. We must learn to read and not be so credulous of what we read. We need to check it out.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

-— See post #11. We must learn to read and not be so credulous of what we read. We need to check it out -—

That’s a false choice.

Yes, we need to be critical readers.

And yes, we shouldn’t post articles with misleading headlines.

Mike Royko was a great satirical writer, but not many are imo, and these times are tough[er], so I agree with knarf, unless the piece is truly written well, that is, and there's something to gain for Him. But regardless, it's nice to have a warning in the headline so you can ignore the article if you wish. I like this from Mother Teresa:

"Nowhere on earth are you more welcomed, nowhere on earth are you more loved, than by Jesus, living and truly present in the Most Blessed Sacrament. The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the best time that you will spend on earth. Each moment that you spend with Jesus will deepen your union with Him and make your soul everlastingly more glorious and beautiful in heaven, and will help bring about an everlasting peace on earth." --Mother Teresa of Calcutta

No skepticism, no looking for an agenda. http://www.acfp2000.com/Chapels/worldmap.htm
