A perfect example of an ill-educated Pope. Here he is, just two days ago, condemning the destruction of human embryos, yet very reluctant to issue statements against the use of abortions around the world for population control, especially late-term abortions. A few years earlier Pope John Paul II made this his lifetime cause. He, Pope Francis, is suppose to be the "moral leader" of Catholicism. If you're going to condemn the destruction of "human embryos" during genetic research (which I VERY much support), you should be "barking mad" when it comes to abortions. He's not. He's just weird..... Meeting with the "atheist" Stephen Hawking a few days ago. ![]() Perhaps Hawking is just trying to "cover his bets," ya know just in case...... Mozart |

It is not the Miami Herald noting it above, it is a columnist that appeared in the Herald along with 60 other papers. It is an opinion piece. While Andres has an impressive resume, he is a journalist writing an opinion column. Useful? Yes, but still a personal opinion and not the voice of the paper. |

In the last century, the papacy was the world's most steadfast enemy of Communism. That danger is past and Pope Francis is leading the defense against the new alt-right fascism which is the current threat to working people and the poor. The alt-right trolls trying to attack Francis with their usual fake news smears are wasting their time. They have a better shot at tipping over the Washington Monument by pissing on it. |

The problem today is that journalism is no longer a search for the truth, but merely another opinion piece, or advocacy journalism. Mozart |

So, Andrés Oppenheimer demands three things: "First, the Venezuelan opposition and the Vatican should officially announce that the current mediation is over. They should officially declare Venezuela a dictatorship because Maduro has broken the rule of law, especially since he stripped away all major powers from the National Assembly after the opposition won the Dec. 6, 2015, elections by a landslide. Second, the opposition-majority Venezuelan National Assembly should officially request the OAS to activate the Democratic Charter to impose regional diplomatic sanctions on the Maduro regime. For that to happen, the OAS needs the votes of a majority of Latin American and Caribbean nations. Third, President Donald Trump must stop insulting Mexico, and by extension all of Latin America, in order to get most countries in the region to vote for diplomatic sanctions under the OAS Democratic Charter. Otherwise, Maduro will portray himself as the victim of a U.S. plot, and most countries will not want to be seen as allies of a U.S. president who despises the region."

This has almost become a non-event. Lovely photo's and meaningless chatter. Boring. How about a joint statement from the Pope and the US government? "We the undersigned demand that free elections take place in Venezuela within 2 months or risk having the Pope condemn the PSUV to eternal damnation!" -------------------- /// --------------------------- The Pope /// The orange-haired guy Mozart Edited by W A Mozart, May 24 2017, 09:26 AM.

Posts on this thread reveal nothing about Pope Francis but a good deal of ignorance about Communism and Catholic teaching. Communism is a sort of totalitarian socialist dictatorship. The Church has for a century, opposed Communism for its totalitarian suppression of religion and violation of human rights. The Catholic Church has no canonical opposition to either socialism or capitalism. Christianity is not an economic theory. The Catholic Church has a rather well elaborated social teaching which is rooted in the New Testament. How religious doctrines like the Shema and the statements by Jesus about charity and the poor should guide social policy has been consistent over the years. How those policies connect to the structure of government is a question on which the Church's teachings have varied over the centuries. Catholic response to contemporary global economic conditions has been driven by a need to find appropriate policy expression for unchanging social and moral values. As global capitalism has swept over the post-colonial world on various continents, the Church has increasingly turned to the left for fulfillment of its belief-driven goals. In Latin America, this shift in social policy has been led by the Jesuit order. To conclude from this well-known history that Pope Francis is a Communist is just plain stupid.

The Catholic Church's version of the "social gospel" arose from the need to get more nickels and dimes in the collection plate from large numbers of ignorant peasants who were abandoning faith for socialist politics....I think the Church would do better if they encouraged drug cartels to be faithful Catholics..............

Politics? In the Vatican? Mueller, a German, being replaced by Ladaria who is an "older" Spaniard. Amazing stuff. Mozart |
