Obligatory Pope Francis Post

It's not all crazy Pachamama stuff ...




Why do we push over people for cheap coffee makers?:

“Resist the dazzling lights of consumption, which will shine everywhere this month, and believe that prayer and charity are not lost time, but the greatest treasures,” Pope Francis said in his Advent homily Dec. 1. 

“This is the drama of today: houses full of things, but empty of children,” he said in St. Peter’s Basilica.

Damn right, Papa.

Cheap coffee makers don't tell you that they love you or that they like fudge on the same levels you do.




Protestants and militant atheists abhor Nativity scenes more than a vacuum (even a spiritual one):

“The enchanting image of the Christmas crèche, so dear to the Christian people, never ceases to arouse amazement and wonder. The depiction of Jesus’ birth is itself a simple and joyful proclamation of the mystery of the Incarnation of the Son of God,” Pope Francis wrote in Admirabile signum, meaning “A wonderful sign” in Latin. 

“With this letter, I wish to encourage the beautiful family tradition of preparing the nativity scene in the days before Christmas, but also the custom of setting it up in the workplace, in schools, hospitals, prisons and town squares,” he said.

Consider it done:

 

 

In Canada, we can't wait to kill off the disabled:

“A culture that considers some lives to be ‘League A’ and others ‘League B’” based on their physical or mental abilities is “a social sin!” he added.

Or a real one.




Since when was marching in pervert parades a more serious requirement for leadership than fiscal accountability?:

Helen Kennedy, executive director of Egale Canada, told CBC News Monday she's more than willing to have a sit-down conversation with Scheer, who is dealing with a backlash from within his party over his election loss — and the possible role played in that loss by his beliefs about same-sex marriage and his refusal to march in Pride parades.

"Even the Pope is more inclusive about [LGBTQ] people than Andrew Scheer," Kennedy said.

Yes, about that: 

Shortly after Illinois’s Democratic governor signed homosexual “marriage” into law, Catholic Bishop Thomas J. Paprocki led prayers of exorcism in reparation, citing Pope Francis who, as an Argentinian cardinal in 2010 described gay marriage legislation as a “clear rejection of the law of God” and “a move of the Father of Lies who wishes to confuse and deceive the children of God.”

Self-centred and stupid is no way to go through life, Helen.
