The Spadaro-Figueroa American Catholic conservative bashing article came out two weeks ago, go here to read about it, but suddenly today it receives coverage all over the secular press. Is this merely an example of how slow the mainstream media generally is to cover Catholic news, or is this a ramping up of the Pope’s war, and let us be honest that is precisely the term that should be used, against American Catholic conservatives? Go here to look at some of the stories published today. The New York Times article is driving the coverage, and why did they suddenly decide to cover this now? For the present, American Catholic conservatives should assume that our enemies in the Vatican are working hand in glove with our domestic enemies.
Pope Francis is showing proof of Christ’s words: “The world will hate you as the world has hated me.” Pope Francis hates American Conservative Catholics as the world hates American Conservative Catholics. “then the earth opened up and swallowed the Golden Calf and all of the revelers.”
oh Donald McClarey you accidentally gave me a great chuckle– look at the tag you put at the end for “Spandero” ! just struck me funny as if he would dress in spandex in his forays into battle with us hateful Catholic true believers… Plus the picture of the pope – 🙂
Oops, corrected. Yeah, that picture of the Pope does seem to capture our Red Pope. Ironically the General of the Jesuits often received traditionally the hostile nickname of the Black Pope.
I like it that Pope Francis is showing his true colors as a political figure. The more he does this the more his credibility as a religious leader suffers. Also, the more he does this the more he opens himself to attack for his politics. His sheep’s clothing is giving him less cover.
Thank God I don’t have to support his politics….
I have a hard time separating politics and religion. Actually I have a hard time separating my faith from anything else in my life/
Can it possibly be true that Vatican officials are lobbing curses at a White House aide with nebulous responsibilities? Did anyone in John Paul’s camarilla know or care who Ed Meese was? Is the Holy See trying to tell us they are hopelessly overstaffed?
Anzlyne-
That’s rather how I am; they both flow from my world-view, my philosophy.
Difference between politics and religion is that religion forms my idea of “should be,” while politics is an expression of “how can we work towards that.”
