“Idiocracy” had a happy ending. I hold out hope.

He’s very autocratic and has intimidated and silenced many people, in addition to the opposition he has just (borderline illegally) removed and sent to Siberia. So people are scared of him.

I'm convinced he's Peter the Roman.

This is the difficulty with so much modern liberal thought. It isn’t even thought, it is sloganeering.

He has to try to understand something about God before a pontiff can go, er, pontificating.

Idiocracy is what happens if rednecks took over the world... okay it might start as a farce, but everybody means well and honors God and it eventually does work out.

I have never quite understood the “ex cathedra” system but I am one of those Wascally Evangelicals. Seems as best I can perceive it that even declaring a papal declaration to be ex cathedra depends on its ratification as such by future generations of churchmen. That way they do manage to throw out at least some of the worse theological trash.

Earth rights mean nothing other than empowering governments with totalitarian powers to violate human rights.

Anyone who believes something else is a child.

Or a fool.

We might back off on the personal attacks, which are another form of bullying. Truth does not need bullying and if using it to further falsehood that doubles up on the sin.

I don’t have the slightest idea what you are talking about. Perhaps you clicked reply to me by mistake. I was agreeing with another poster who made a general comment about a general belief, and I stand by what he said because what he said is self-evidently true. Period.

Are you having your period?

I see you made personal attacks. If there is any way to foul up your footing in discussing anything spiritual, that is it.

And if you don’t like what I said, think about why and ask if that does not hold a mirror up to you at every point.

The courts should bestow rights upon the earth . . . as soon as the earth petitions the courts.

Again, I was agreeing with a previous poster. I don’t need a mirror to do that. I really have no idea what you are talking about. I feel like you are trying to pick a fight with me for no reason. Seriously. I don’t get why you are accusing me of something in your imagination.

The Environmentalist and Liberation Theology Pope

While thousands of Christians are slaughtered by Muslims, Pope Francis debases his office meddling in trivial matters such as the global warming hoax while ignoring the mortal threats growing upon the Church and the World.

Tens of thousands of Christians have been tortured and slaughtered and Catholic churches set on fire in Nigeria, Sudan, Syria, Egypt and all around the Muslim world, while the Pope keeps repeating the mantra that Islam is a religion of peace.

Christians have been thrown out from the Middle East, the cradles of Christianity.

The Islamization of Europe and in American schools.
Millions of babies are being murdered in their mother’s wombs by abortion.

Islamic state, ISIS, promising to march into Rome and use St. Peter’s as a stable.

Millions of Christians in Africa are sold as sex slaves in Muslims countries.

In United States freedom of religion is curtailed for Christians and Jews, while Islam is promoted and Muslims are given preferential status by the Obama regime. Obama refers to the Bible as “the good book” while he always calls the Koran as “the holy Koran”.

Catholics in United States are forced to betray their faith and religious principles due to Obamacare mandates.

Pope Francis gave his support to the Marxist liberation theology, a corruption of the Gospels proscribed by H.H. John Paul II and H.H. Benedict XVI.

Pope Francis gave “moral” cover to Obama’s betrayal of the Cuban people deceiving the American taxpayers to assume the burden of keeping afloat the genocidal Stalinist regime that have kept enslaved for over half a century the Cuban people while remaining a threat to the security of United States.

So the Catholic Church has gone from the "reactionary" teaching that the earth is the center of the universe to the "progressive" one that it is no such thing . . . but that we should all worship it.

What a wacky religion!

Yes,End Times! Because we are told about the one world church which we are watching form before our very eyes. The Vatican already put out a ten page statement as a prelude to the Popes encyclical. The Pope is all in on AGW global warming,and worse will be fanatical about it too. The communist/socialist took over the environmental movement,and now it will be merged with the world-wide church. The worship of creation rather than the worship of God could very well be a part of the great delusion the majority will believe.

Because I’m new,I doubt I can post links,but go to climatedepo.com to find the Vatican’s statement. There was just a climate summit at the Vatican last week and the Heartland institute went there with other skeptics to try and sway the Popes views,but it was a futile cause,as one writer put it,the encyclical has already likely been drawn up,so with the statement issed,there is no question on where the Catholic church stands now. Ratzinger on the other hand was firmly against the idea that man was causing AGW and could very well be one of the reasons he was forced out.IMHO
