Climate-Controlled and Environmentally Purified for Free

Defending the innocent without arms, preserving the Sistine Chapel without ‘evil capitalists,’  Michelle Malkin reveals what’s central to the new FrancisChurch Liberation Theology 2.0 namely, hypocrisy.

Unlike Pope Francis, I believe that air-conditioning and the capitalists responsible for the technology are blessings to the world.

Perhaps the head of the Catholic Church, who condemned “the increasing use and power of air-conditioning” last week in a market-bashing encyclical, is unaware of the pioneering private company that has donated its time, energy and innovative heating, ventilating and air-conditioning equipment to the Vatican’s most famous edifice for more than a decade.

That’s right. While the pontiff sanctimoniously attacks “those who are obsessed with maximizing profits,” Carrier Corporation — a $13 billion for-profit company with 43,000 employees worldwide (now a unit of U.S.-based United Technologies Corp.) — ensures that the air in the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel stays clean and cool.

Last fall, Carrier unveiled a groundbreaking HVAC system for the Vatican to help preserve Michelangelo’s masterpieces against pollution caused by the estimated six million visitors who descend on the Sistine Chapel every year to see its famous frescoes.

Aren’t capitalists just people working together and agreeing to help each other in the most beneficial way they determine, independently and on their own?  Why is freedom now an evil thing?  Why are we continually being bound up in some broad of nature that compels us to obey these Mao-ist rulers?

Hasn’t the Church already ironed out our relationship to nature?  Why is everything some new, never before seen crisis?

 

 

Sinful Not To Abandon Your FrancisChurch Husband

Sorry, but under the circumstances it'd be a sin not to drop you.

Sorry, but under the circumstances it’d be a sin to keep you.

AFP reports on Pope Francis’ latest guidance on marriage and separation.  Apparently you’re morally obligated to break up your marriage and family if you’re the weaker sex and you’re being humiliated.

Pope Francis said Wednesday that it may be “morally necessary” for some families to split up, marking a change of tone in the Catholic Church’s attitude to troubled marriages.

“There are cases in which separation is inevitable,” he said during his weekly general audience, with a message hoping to encourage greater compassion in the Church ahead of a highly anticipated global meeting on family life in October.

Pope Francis is always changing the Catholic ‘tone,’ and in the process completely tearing down the last vestiges of Christian society.  One must be careful not to hand the world a bunch of rhetorical excuses, but then again, ‘who am I to judge?’

“Sometimes, it can even be morally necessary, when it’s about shielding the weaker spouse or young children from the more serious wounds caused by intimidation and violence, humiliation and exploitation,” he said.

Why does Francis say ‘the weaker spouse?’  Do you think that may mean the man, or is he talking perhaps about various gay marriages?  What happens if my wife humiliates me?  I guess I’m out of luck and I’ll have to stick with her.  That’s an ‘intimidating’ prospect.  Oops.

I have been exploiting, intimidating and humiliating my wife for twenty-eight years.  I know because I’ve heard all about it.  Thank God she’s stronger than me and we didn’t have FrancisChurch until just now.

Francis said there were many families in “irregular situations” and the question should be how to best help them, and “how to accompany them so that the child does not become daddy or mummy’s hostage”.

“how to accompany them so that the child does not become daddy or mummy’s hostage?”  That bears repeating somehow.

The issue is likely to be addressed during the upcoming synod — a gathering of bishops — on the family, which Francis hopes will help reconcile Catholic thinking with the realities of believers’ lives in the early 21st century.

Could they have a more notorious goal?  What in the world are we going to do about our Church in this time of Mercy?

 

 

 

 

 

FrancisChurch: Check Your Catholic Procreation

Irresponsible sins against nature?

Irresponsible sins against nature?

It’s amazing how much sheer anti-Catholic material is being set up for that awful upcoming Synod.  Responsible procreation?  Hasn’t the entire Catholic world including His Holiness Francis just told us the new Catholic earth-ism has nothing whatsoever to do with population control?

In Chicago, as Frank Sinatra pointed out, men dance with their wives.

Sometimes that leads to other things.

In the great movie Rob Roy, one of the Catholic Highlanders tells this joke at a celebration:

Q: Why are Calvinists against making love standing up?

A: It might lead to dancing.

Last night I danced with my wife.

Is it always “procreation” or is it only procreation if you find out later that it was?

In any case, I didn’t think about it. Even once. I don’t think she did either.

I went to work without feeling guilty. As I remember, I bought a cup of coffee and a donut.

That’s your first mistake right there, Mr. Mahound.  In FrancisChurch you’re supposed to feel guilty about that kind of thing.  Also, dancing is sexist and coffee and donuts pollute your inner ecosystem so that’s two other sins right there, maybe three.  Remember, in terms of the Earth (which is of course oriented toward God), we’re all one and responsible for each other.  So can that donut NewCatholic!

Of course, I’m thinking about this against the background of the recently released Instrumentum Laboris of the Synod (on the Family). One of the Agenda Items is “responsible procreation.”

I’ve read that in the early Medieval Church, sometimes it was thought necessary to confess if you had romantic feelings for, and acted on them with, your spouse. Unless of course you had no romantic feelings and were just doing your duty to populate the earth or whatever.

Now (it seems) you have to confess if you only had romantic feelings and were not dutifully thinking of the effects of acting on those feelings on, say, future carbon emissions.

We’ve come full circle, sort of.

Okay, so I’ve always wanted to say this:

Hands off my body.

Hands off my wife’s body.

And hands off, well, you know.

We’ll procreate however we damn well want.

Another item on the Synod agenda is “birth reduction.”

I know. I did a double-take on that one too. No doubt there will be more to say about it later. But for now, this will merely have to do:

Hands off my (future) ten-seat van with the Pro-Life stickers…

…you nasty heretical freaks.

Careful.  Your individualism is showing.  There’s no Hell, but if there was it would be for you selfish types who sin against creation, careless of your neighbor.

At least there can be earthly demerits and penalties established by committee with the help of business leaders.
