Thought for the Day

When he’s right, he’s right.

In other words: “That kettle is quite black!!”

This from “Pope Leo’s Orwellian Moment” by Gavin Ashenden.

This should be praised by one and all.

What did the Pope actually say?

• He attacked multiculturalism.
• He attacked the practice of surrogacy.
• He praised without reserve the vocation to love and life expressed exclusively and in indissoluble union between a man and a woman.
• He praised the institution of the family as the glue that holds the whole civilisation together.
• He decried discrimination against Christians in Europe and America simply for being Christians.
• He drew the attention of the world’s press to the genocide of Christians in Nigeria and other parts of Africa.
• He complained bitterly about Islamic violence against Christians in Bangladesh and in Damascus.
• He singled out Islamists around the world for their relentless destruction of Christianity.
• He claimed that 64% of the world’s population are having their religious freedom circumscribed by oppressors.
• He pointed an accusing finger at Western consumerist society as it destroys the lives of vulnerable children in the womb through abortion, and vulnerable adults at the end of their lives through euthanasia.
• And he claimed that violent language is being used as a weapon to destroy free speech.
