Why Do Banana Republic Bishops Hate Global Warming Critics?

Praying you’ll become happy with less.

Pedro Biretto Jimeno, Archbishop of Huancayo, Peru is another Latin American Communist in the FrancisChurch style.  If the global warming agenda isn’t about crushing the free market with  unreasonable and suffocating worldwide taxes and regulations, then why do these faux-Catholic clerical agents keep acting like it’s all about money?

The Archbishop of Huancayo, Peru has said that Pope Francis must prepare himself for criticism following the publication of his encyclical on the environment.

Archbishop Pedro Barreto Jimeno of Huancayo, Peru, told Catholic News Service: “(The encyclical) will have many critics, because they want to continue setting rules of the game in which money takes first place. We have to be prepared for those kinds of attacks.”

That’s what Marxists see as capitalism.  It’s a rigged system in which someone besides themselves is making the rules.  It’s obvious to them that since some are rich and some are poor, that the system is unfair.  Of course, these communists no nothing about serving others since most of them spend their lives shuttling from speaking engagements to catered meetings in hotels.  They are often academics or bureaucrats who’ve spent their lives pleasing superiors rather than customers.  There seem to be quite a few of them in the South American hierarchy.

The archbishop said that there would controversy once people had read the Pope’s new encyclical because resisting the “throwaway culture” by being satisfied with less means “putting money at the service of people, instead of people serving money.”

What is money, Archbishop?  Isn’t just a way for two people to help each other?  Why do you want other people’s money so much that you must condemn it?  There’s nowhere on earth that people are serving money.  It’s a tool.  If you don’t like working at McDonald’s go to school?  Live with your folks, save your money and open your own burger shack.  If you think Bill Gates is using you, don’t buy Windows.

Pope Francis’ upcoming encyclical on ecology and climate is expected to send a strong moral message – one message that could make some readers uncomfortable, some observers say.

“The encyclical will address the issue of inequality in the distribution of resources and topics such as the wasting of food and the irresponsible exploitation of nature and the consequences for people’s life and health,” Archbishop Pedro Barreto Jimeno said.

“Pope Francis has repeatedly stated that the environment is not only an economic or political issue, but is an anthropological and ethical matter,” he said. “How can you have wealth if it comes at the expense of the suffering and death of other people and the deterioration of the environment?”

Lies on top of lies on top of lies.  How is this man an archbishop?

The encyclical is not expected to be a theological treatise or a technical document about environmental issues, but a pastoral call to change the way people use the planet’s resources so they are sufficient not only for current needs, but for future generations, observers said.

It’s not technical and it’s not theological.  That’s a relief.  We don’t have to pay attention to any faux-science or faux-theology we might find in it.  It’s only harmlessly pastoral, just like Vatican II.  So we don’t need to believe anything in it, but we damn sure better follow it like sheep!

The document “will emphasise that the option for stewardship of the environment goes hand in hand with the option for the poor,” said Carmelite Father Eduardo Agosta Scarel, a climate scientist who teaches at the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina and the National University of La Plata in Buenos Aires.

If it’s an option, why do I have no choice in the matter?

“What the Pope brings to this debate is the moral dimension,” said Anthony Annett, climate change and sustainable development adviser to the Earth Institute at Columbia University and to the nonprofit Religions for Peace. “His unique way of looking at the problem, which is deeply rooted in Catholic social teaching, resonates with people all across the world.”

Are popes supposed to bring moral dimensions to debates, or are they supposed to defend moral absolutes?  If these things are debatable, then why are they treated as undeniable truths despite the fact they’re based upon one sided well-funded junk science?

“Whether you think climate change is a problem or not, you cannot deny that running out of fish, oil, water and other resources is a really big problem. The solution is a radical change in our concept of what makes a person happy. We need to move away from the idea that the more things we have, the happier we’ll be,” Kane said.

Check your things and redefine your happiness because we’re getting ready to confiscate both in the name of Christ.

 

 

Church Up To No Good at the UN

Firmly placed within a den of thieves

That Vatican envoy to the UN, Archbishop Silvano Tomasi has repeated a mantra which has become so common in the Church today that you never read a whiff of criticism about it, despite the fact that it’s a hysterical Marxist rant.

The Google translation reveals:

Archbishop Silvano Tomasi, the Vatican’s permanent representative to the UN in Geneva, insisted during the annual International Labour Conference to better protect workers. At the same time he praised SMEs. “In 2014 was 1% of the world 48% of the wealth in the world,” said Archbishop Silvano Tomasi, who believes that it has become practically impossible to unemployment worldwide still below the level before the financial crisis of 2008 back penetrate. According to Tomasi we can no longer put our trust in the laws of the market to solve problems. “Combating global poverty requires a special effort and forces of governments, workers, labor organizations, civil society and all the private partners.” That should contribute according to Archbishop Tomasi to better protection of workers against unemployment and illness. Tomasi still urged for support to SMEs because they “are crucial to the economic recovery.”

What is the ‘law of the market’ anyway?  Isn’t it just one man paying his own dollar to someone offering a dollar’s worth of something in return?  If that’s a ‘law’ then whose law is it?

Among that group of wonderful contributors to this new non-market solution I’ve noticed only one actually pays anything.  Those are the ‘private partners.’  These are the business leaders who hope to be first in line to back-stab their competitors in the hopes they’ll receive some sort of government reward or relief.  Every other party to the good archbishop’s poverty saving effort is a payee, as is the Church, unfortunately.

A pair of new prescription glasses costs hundreds of dollars after you pay the monthly insurance premiums.  Why?  They’re not iPhones.  It’s because the process is so tied up with medical, insurance, and workplace regulatory schemes that we have no choice but to pay that.

Prescription glasses are actually worth about thirty dollars, and there are plenty of people who would be happy and willing to provide them at that price, but they aren’t permitted.  There are just so many do-gooders that target you evil market people and  your dollars for love of the poor, that we must pay, pay, and pay.

I’ve read plenty of Jesus’ parables about kings, and farmers, and tax collectors; about fishermen, and shepherds.  I’ve never read anything against property or in praise of scams.

What did Archbishop Tomasi do for lunch today?

 

 

 

 

 

Unfaithful Tea Party Dissident, Our Francis is Not Political

Yucking it up for a better world

For the fifth time in his two-year papacy Pope Francis has met with the President of Argentina.  This Latin American socialist is a woman whose enemies mysteriously die before they can testify against her, but we are supposed to believe that she and Pope Francis have nothing political to discuss.

Are they talking about Jesus for an hour and a half?

The Vatican’s protocol officer is denying reports that a meeting between Pope Francis and Argentina’s president had a political tone.

Guillermo Karcher told local Rosario 3 radio on Monday that the criticism against Francis was “disrespectful.” He said Sunday’s meeting of the Argentine-born pope with President Cristina Fernandez was far from political.

One of the things I find most upsetting about Pope Francis is this idea that his politicized and twisted understanding of Christian doctrine is not ideological, nor is it political.  The Communists stole our flag, he boldly proclaims, as if that thieving and murderous ideology were just a misnamed Christianity with an atheistic tinge.

The Pope is entirely ideological himself, if the word means opting for power politics over truth.  Francis doesn’t sound very Catholic.  He doesn’t act very faithful.  He is the least pope-like pope perhaps ever.  The only thing he truly can be said to be is political, a sort of Leftist political agitator in the role of Pope.

Yet we are supposed to all agree that all his activism is just the work of God.  He even warns the world’s bishops not be to exactly the way he constantly is, as if He were the only one anointed to promote a thousand destructive and unjust causes in the name of Christ.

That’s why it’s so important to his proponents in the Obama-Pelosi-Castro circles and in the world-wide media that the Pope’s words be given the air of sanctity, that they be treated as something ‘far from political.’  Meanwhile the Vatican is packed with leftist hacks posing as bishops who apologize for the UN, insult faithful Catholics, and can scarcely utter a propagandist’s prayer.  Global Warming is now Catholic doctrine and there is no room for dissent.  As the Vatican’s Margaret Archer asserts, “I am appointed by the Pope” and “that leaves you out in the cold!”

It seems Fernandez does have something to promote in meeting with the Pope at this time.

Fernandez is now in her second term and is not running in October elections because a third consecutive mandate is not allowed. But she remains active in the campaign, and is backing some candidates.

Opposition lawmaker Elisa Carrio was among those criticizing the meeting.

Sounds like Pope Francis has landed once again squarely on the wrong side of that political game.  Why do all these people-first people never side with the people?

That is not something for humble Catholic lay people to determine.  It’s enough that we’re not disrespectful, that we don’t criticize the Pope, or dare to call his FrancisChurch political.
