The Pope continues his long standing policy of not criticizing regimes that are Left Wing and/or anti-American:
Since demonstrations swept across Cuba on June 11, a parade of U.S. politicians, foreign nations and even pop stars have spoken up with gusto in support of the anti-communist protests and against the island-nation’s authoritarian government and its crackdowns. But one voice has been comparably limited: Pope Francis’.
Just once since the demonstrations began has the Holy Father publicly addressed the political crisis in Cuba — a country where the majority of people are baptized Catholics despite more than 60 years of communist rule — and then only briefly. At his July 18 Angelus address, his first public appearance following a minor surgery, the Holy Father expressed his closeness to the Cuban people “in these difficult moments.”
“I pray that the Lord might help the nation construct a society that is more and more just and fraternal through peace, dialogue and solidarity,” said Pope Francis, before urging all Cubans to entrust themselves to Our Lady of Charity, Cuba’s patroness.
Go here to read the rest. Next time a Catholic Pope rather than a Jesuit Pope.
The Pope’s silence on some topical question wouldn’t be a problem if he weren’t blabbing as a matter of routine on all sorts of things outside the Pope’s book of business. Pretty much everything he says is derived from the kultursmog; I doubt he’s ever had an original observation in his life.
Camilla Cabello, a 20-something pop singer, has more courage than the Holy Father. What world are we living in?
I was rudely awakened to reality when, in near unison, the Pope and Obama, within days, repeated the same Marxist mantra…”inequality.” I think the pope called it the greatest evil.
His writings and rantings about sin and salvation could fit on a postage stamp.
God help us all.
Once you see how the news, actors, politicians, etc. all suddenly adopt the same concerns at the same time, down to using the exact same phrases to describe their reasoning, you can’t unsee it.
Holmes had the dog which didn’t bark.
We have the pope who didn’t talk.
