African archbishop 'salutes' BLM's battle against racism

ROME (ChurchMilitant.com) - Vatican News is praising Black Lives Matter (BLM) as a "movement dedicated to non-violent civil disobedience through protests against police violence directed at black persons as well as all forms of racism."

"The movement began in 2013 with the use of the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter on social media," the Holy See's official information service said Wednesday, providing context for comments from president of the National Episcopal Conference of Congo (CENCO) Abp. Marcel Utembi Tapa, who said he "welcomed the fight against racism being spearheaded by the Black Lives Matter movement."

"Today, Black Lives Matter has decentralized into a broader and worldwide network of movements advocating against police violence towards minorities, the militarization of the police as well as against systemic racism around the world," Vatican News reported.

The Vatican media made no reference to BLM's involvement in riots, it's campaign to "defund the police" or to the movement's goals of "disrupt(ing) the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement," as explicitly stated on the "What we believe" page of the BLM website.

Some of the high clergy there just want to talk up some boy friends in BLM

I wonder if the Vatican agrees with the BLM Charter which says the following...

We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.

We foster a queer‐affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual (unless s/he or they disclose otherwise).

No sentient being could possibly believe BLM or any soroznazi street gangsters are dedicated to peacefulness and companionship. This Vatican speaker must be in the same evil payroll

[BunnySlippers]

A very questionable source, at best!

[Montaignes Cat]

Vatican hails Gaia, China, Islam, Amazonian deities, and Black Lives Matter. Catholic doctrine and traditions, not so much.

[Hambone 1934]

They support abortion..So,is the Vatican okay with the BLM group supporting the slaughter of babies,especially black babies????

[I want the USA back]

The man who kissed the imam on the lips knows blm is a violent separatist movement.

[Mastador1]

[Trillian]

Communists, is there anything they don’t infiltrate?

[econjack]

... (BLM) as a "movement dedicated to non-violent civil disobedience...

He's talking about the Bureau of Land Management.

[LegendHasIt]

When they work for ‘Satan’s Pope’ what do you expect to come out of the Vatican? Of course they are going to say good things about people who are destroying law and order and decent behavior.

“Is the Pope Catholic?” is no longer a rhetorical question.

[\/\/ayne]

As a Protestant let me say “Welcome, ex-Catholics.”

[Lurkinanloomin]

That’s because the ImPopester is a fellow communist.

[Crim]

Ahhh!!!....pluck out my lying eyes!!!!

[rfp1234]

Compared to the groups in Congo, perhaps it’s less violent.

[eeriegeno]

Don’t these jackasses realize that they are shooting themselves in the foot? Fools!!!

[Spok]

Ya, like Kristallnacht was a street fair.

[TBP]

Well, Communists have to stick together.
