Is it a coincident that some whack-job kills 9 Christians in SC the same day this gets released?

I think the better step for him....to make a bold step and call for a revolution against Catholic Church priests who rape young boys in a perverted way of life and acceptance by the Rome Church itself.

Yes of course.

His home country should have been our first clue about Pope Che’s philosophy.

In Argentina they do have both a Left and a Right (Peronistas). But both are socialists. Similar to European politics in many respects.

He is a Jesuit. They have been waiting to take over the Vatican for so long that now, like Obama-commie, they are rushing through as much of their globalist effluent as they can foist upon catholics and the world.

The Legacy of Mao Zedong is Mass Murder

By Lee Edwards, Ph.D.

Can you name the greatest mass murderer of the 20th century? No, it wasn’t Hitler or Stalin. It was Mao Zedong.

According to the authoritative “Black Book of Communism,” an estimated 65 million Chinese died as a result of Mao’s repeated, merciless attempts to create a new “socialist” China. Anyone who got in his way was done away with — by execution, imprisonment or forced famine.

For Mao, the No. 1 enemy was the intellectual. The so-called Great Helmsman reveled in his blood-letting, boasting, “What’s so unusual about Emperor Shih Huang of the China Dynasty? He had buried alive 460 scholars only, but we have buried alive 46,000 scholars.” Mao was referring to a major “accomplishment” of the Great Cultural Revolution, which from 1966-1976 transformed China into a great House of Fear.

The most inhumane example of Mao’s contempt for human life came when he ordered the collectivization of China’s agriculture under the ironic slogan, the “Great Leap Forward.” A deadly combination of lies about grain production, disastrous farming methods (profitable tea plantations, for example, were turned into rice fields), and misdistribution of food produced the worse famine in human history.

Deaths from hunger reached more than 50 percent in some Chinese villages. The total number of dead from 1959 to 1961 was between 30 million and 40 million — the population of California.

Rounding up enemies

Only five years later, when he sensed that revolutionary fervor in China was waning, Mao proclaimed the "Cultural Revolution".

Gangs of Red Guards — young men and women between 14 and 21 — roamed the cities targeting revisionists and other enemies of the state, especially teachers.

Professors were dressed in grotesque clothes and dunce caps, their faces smeared with ink. They were then forced to get down on all fours and bark like dogs. Some were beaten to death, some even eaten — all for the promulgation of Maoism. A reluctant Mao finally called in the Red Army to put down the marauding Red Guards when they began attacking Communist Party members, but not before 1 million Chinese died.

All the while, Mao kept expanding the laogai, a system of 1,000 forced labor camps throughout China. Harry Wu, who spent 19 years in labor camps, has estimated that from the 1950s through the 1980s, 50 million Chinese passed through the Chinese version of the Soviet gulag. Twenty million died as a result of the primitive living conditions and 14-hour work days.

Such calculated cruelty exemplified his Al Capone philosophy: “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.”

And yet Mao Zedong remains the most honored figure in the Chinese Communist Party. At one end of historic Tiananmen Square is Mao’s mausoleum, visited daily by large, respectful crowds. At the other end of the square is a giant portrait of Mao above the entrance to the Forbidden City, the favorite site of visitors, Chinese and foreign. ...”

How about a bold prosecution of those responsible of peddling this global hoax?

Pope Francis: Time for a “bold cultural revolution” to confront climate change

The Pontif should stick to pontifacating on stuff he knows about.

i feel the same way. The pope is just a man. On things of God I’ll take his council, on things of this earth, he is a marxist stooge.

I feel like I’m reliving the 60’s with the “folk mass” and all the other anti-war bullsh#t that made me leave the church for 36 years. I came back to the Lord and back to the Church. I refuse to let these communists rat turds bastardize our church. I will refuse any and all support of the “green” collections and will start to make a noise that all monies collected go to the local church and projects and NOT TO THE ROMAN COMMUNIST IN CHARGE.

Stay away from PCUSA. They are even more heretical with sodomite ministers. Go to PCA or OPC instead. As for the Lutherans, ELCA has sodomite ministers. LCMS and WELS has avoided the sewer. All of the mainline “Protestant” denominations have gone dead liberal.

I love both my Church and my country even though both are now run by Marxists.

Obama's Church: Gospel of Hate
Kathy Shaidle, FrontPageMag.com
Monday, April 07, 2008

In March of 2007, FOX News host Sean Hannity had engaged Obama’s pastor in a heated interview about his Church’s teachings. For many viewers, the ensuing shouting match was their first exposure to "Black Liberation Theology"...

Like the pro-communist Liberation Theology that swept Central America in the 1980s and was repeatedly condemned by Pope John Paul II, Black Liberation Theology combines warmed-over 1960s vintage Marxism with carefully distorted biblical passages. However, in contrast to traditional Marxism, it emphasizes race rather than class. The Christian notion of "salvation" in the afterlife is superseded by "liberation" on earth, courtesy of the establishment of a socialist utopia.

Catholics for Marx [Liberation Theology]
By Fr. Robert Sirico
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, June 03, 2004

In the days when the Superpowers were locked in a Cold War, Latin America seethed with revolution, and millions lived behind an iron curtain, a group of theologians concocted a novel idea within the history of Christianity. They proposed to combine the teachings of Jesus with the teachings of Marx as a way of justifying violent revolution to overthrow the economics of capitalism.

The Gospels were re-rendered not as doctrine impacting on the human soul but rather as windows into the historical dialectic of class struggle. These "liberation theologians" saw every biblical criticism of the rich as a mandate to expropriate the expropriating owners of capital, and every expression of compassion for the poor as a call for an uprising by the proletarian class of peasants and workers.

Pope Francis gave full support to the global warming hoax which is the “Golden Calf” for the global warming cult that has been enriching the false the prophets of that new religion (Albert Gore is the high priest of that cult.)

“Satellite and balloon measurements show there has been no warming for nearly 20 years. Some land surface measurements can be induced, after much statistical “correction,” to show a modest warming. Either way, whatever has happened to the climate these past two decades has not been major. The models that generate climate predictions are terrible. For decades, the models have predicted high temperature increases. The reality has been very different: temperatures have been (more or less) flat. The models are not just bad, they are lousy (look at this picture and judge for yourself). Not only that, but every scientist used to know that when a model made such rotten predictions, the theory on which the model relies must be false.” (Leaked Laudato LamentedCrisis Magazine ^ | June 17, 2015 | WILLIAM M. BRIGGS)

To declare that men can control weather changes is the epitome of arrogance, even for a Pope. The Sun, and in first instance God are responsible for weather changes.

By the fruits you will know the tree, by their advisers you will know the leaders.

Pope Francis is more radical and dangerous than Obama. As soon as he took power he rescued from the trash bin of History the Marxist liberation theology after was proscribed by John Paul II and Benedict XVI. Francis called the most radical of its leaders, Leonardo Boff, who was silenced by H.H. Pope John Paul II, as one of his adviser for his encyclical that tries to give moral support to the global warming hoax, but instead Francis destroys his credibility and demeans the respect for the Catholic Church.

Another of Francis’top advisers is German Prof. John Schellnhuber, a well-known Malthusian and climate radical.

In Pope Francis’ call for a “bold cultural revolution” to confront climate change, he is using classic Marxist terms (Mao’s Cultural Revolution and Marxist liberation theology) to promote political agendas aimed toward the advance of “collectivism, redistribution of wealth, and global government.”

With this, he sounds like a friend of Bernie Sanders:
The Pope said that moderating the production-consumption model and slowing the “constant flood of new products” is key to restoring ecological balance in the world.

I agree with you entirely. I think many of us feel very isolated and under siege. Having the Church give way to the zeitgeist is kind of the final straw.
