Pope Francis Meets with Muslim Illegals

POPE FRANCIS CALLS ON U.S. TO WELCOME ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS

by ROBERT WILDE 16 Jul 2014, 4:45 AM PDT 

In his message to the “Mexico/Holy See Colloquium on Migration and Development,” Pope Francis characterized the tens of thousands of illegal immigrants that have crossed the U.S. southern border as a product of globalization, suggesting that the phenomenon is happening worldwide.

Francis proclaimed, “Despite the large influx of migrants present in all continents and in almost all countries, migration is still seen as an emergency, or as a circumstantial and sporadic fact, while instead it has now become a hallmark of our society and a challenge.”

Emmer McCarthy for Vatican Radio said Francis expressed his concern for “the tens of thousands of children who migrate alone, unaccompanied, to escape poverty and violence.” He further sympathized, saying that “this is a category of migrants… who cross the border with the United States under extreme conditions and in pursuit of a hope that in most cases turns out to be vain." The Pope added that the amount of those willing to take the dangerous journey “are increasing day by day."

The pope is Karl Marx in a papal outfit

"The pope is demanding the redistribution of wealth yet again," Dr. Savage said to his audience, adding:

This is the same pope who came from a socialist/Marxist era in his own country.

Now he's lashing out at those of us who work for a living.

In other words, once again, he's talking about "solidarity with the poor."

I have a suggestion, Mr. Pope: I am offering $1 million right now as an opening bid on the Sistine Chapel ceiling.

I'm pretty sure the sultan of Brunei will top my bid.

That way they could redistribute the wealth that begins in the Vatican itself.

I already pay 39 percent federal tax and 13 percent state tax, but that's not enough for the pope or Obama or the other Marxists on the planet.

Have you ever wondered how wealthy the Catholic Church really is?

The Vatican has billions in shares in the most powerful international corporations.

They also own great real estate. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's all worth billions of dollars.

It could be sold and redistributed to the poor of the world.

A modern pope gets old school on the Devil

View Photo Gallery — A renewed interest in exorcism: Nearly 200 delegates — most of them priests and nuns — from more than two dozen countries attend a Vatican-sponsored exorcism conference in Rome. Although it is difficult to measure, Vatican officials talk about a resurgence of mystical rites in the Catholic church, including exorcisms.

VATICAN CITY — A darling of liberal Catholics and an advocate of inclusion and forgiveness, Pope Francis is hardly known for fire and brimstone.

Yet, in his words and deeds, the new pope is locked in an epic battle with the oldest enemy of God and creation:

Pope Francis should stick to doctrine, stay away from economic 'redistribution'

By John Moody

Published May 09, 2014

Pope Francis has spent a year on the Throne of Peter. In that time, his modest style and high-minded ideals have ignited a new optimism and fervor among Roman Catholics, including those who left because of disagreements with some of its teachings.

Francis has gone out of his way to voice support for the world’s poorest citizens, rightly noting that their plight is too often ignored or brushed aside. Until this week, his statements have called for voluntary action by wealthier countries and individuals as the right way to relieve economic inequality. He appealed to our better selves, and in so doing, made us all ask if we could be kinder and more generous. The answer, of course, is yes.

On Friday, however, Francis chose a meeting with – of all people -- officials of the United Nations to endorse what he called “the legitimate redistribution of economic benefits by the state, as well as indispensable cooperation between the private sector and civil society.”

By appearing to sanction what amounts to forced redistribution, Francis grievously exceeded his authority and became what amounts to a robe-wearing politician.

What Michael Savage said about the pope's Marxism before Rush ran with it

Pope Francis has signaled several times that he is a believer in Liberation Theology, and indicated he would like the Church to act as a spearhead for economic change in the world. People who think like the Pope believe that unfettered global capitalism is unjust, and leads to social, political, and economic oppression of the poor. And they want to punish the successful, which (by their logic) will create equalized opportunity for those less fortunate…think “Christianized Marxism”….

The pope has said indirectly his desire is to “hold capitalism accountable” for the problems of the world … to punish the ‘haves’ simply for having … which according to this line of thinking, is a sin. 

“While the earnings of a minority are growing exponentially, so too is the gap separating the majority from the prosperity enjoyed by the happy few. This imbalance is the result of ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation,” Pope Francis says.

The Catholic Church all but eradicated this ideology nearly a quarter century ago (under Pope John Paul II), which originated mainly in Latin American countries in the ’60s and ’70s. But Pope Francis, originally from Argentina, never practiced Liberation Theology, though he was certainly shaped by it.

Pope Francis makes history with dual canonization of Pope John XXIII, Pope John Paul II

VATICAN CITY –  Pope Francis declared Popes John XXIII and John Paul II saints before some 800,000 people on Sunday in an unprecedented ceremony made even more historic by the presence of emeritus Pope Benedict XVI in St. Peter's Square.

Never before have a reigning pope and a retired pope celebrated Mass together in public, much less at an event honoring two of their most famous predecessors.

Benedict's presence was a reflection of the balancing act that Francis envisioned when he decided to canonize John and John Paul together, showing the unity of the Catholic Church by honoring popes beloved by conservatives and progressives alike.

Francis made that point clear in his homily, praising both new saints for their work associated with the Second Vatican Council, the groundbreaking meetings that brought the 2,000-year-old institution into modern times. John convened the council in 1962 while John Paul helped ensure its more conservative implementation and interpretation.

Obama holds 52-minute meeting with Pope Francis

President Obama met Pope Francis at the Vatican for nearly an hour Thursday amid a complex backdrop of conflict over contraception, concern for the plight of the poor, and the pontiff's emergence as a powerful persona on the world stage. 

Obama arrived amid the pomp and tradition of the Catholic Church, making his way to greet the pope after a long, slow procession. 

"Wonderful meeting you, I'm a great admirer," the president said to Pope Francis when the two met in the Small Throne Room of the papal residence. "Thank you sir, thank you."
