They – Governor Tom Corbett – Mayor Michael Nutter – Archbishop Charles Chaput - Went to the Vatican and all they got was a Lousy Tee Shirt

Governor Who?

@GovernorCorbett I feel bad for the Pope...he cannot escape immoral politicians like Tom Corbett.

Going in much pomp and expectations to capture Pope Francis to honor Pope Benedict’s scheduled appointment to a $100 million Philly Catholic Family Fest in 2015, the delegation got 5-6 minutes in the rain with other pilgrims.

Francis is busy or does he not want to waste his valuable private time with corrupt Pennsylvania politicians?

We shall see how much time American Barry Obama gets later this week.

The local delegation had expected an extended private meeting Wednesday at which they would have urged Francis to visit the city when the Philadelphia Archdiocese hosts the Eighth World Meeting of Families, a Vatican-sponsored gathering expected to draw hundreds of thousands to the city in 2015.

But Meg Kane, communications coordinator for the much-ballyhooed trip to Rome, sent word out at about 11:30 p.m. Rome time that the delegation would not be meeting with Francis at his residence, as had been long planned.

Two Old Old White Guys Do Lunch – Benedict and Francis - some notes.

I was reading many nanny media meme accounts how these two old, old Catholic CEO dudes having lunch together was a first in history.

Of course I was born before the Great Dumb of America begun with Ronald Reagan and the real life version to me sometimes of the Invasion of the Body Snatchers – Brain Snatchers? – The Media / MSM?

I remember reading a library book by Malachi Martin close to twenty five years ago and I cannot find or remember the title. But in that book there was touching scene depicted with the mind of this ex or retired Jesuit who was a very conservative Catholic dude.  

In that book, he depicted two popes, one official (the first to resign) and one un-official bishop of Rome, also known as the first "anti-pope" and their meeting on the road to hell so to speak in Roman lead mines where they had more or less been condemned, to die working themselves to death and as the result of some current religious pogrom from some Roman Emperor.

The popes after lives of bitchy ambitions, embrace in forgiveness of their enemy pope and die pure in the grace of the moment.  A touching story.

 

Malachi in that book also managed to paint a scene of Constantine, waiting for the last minute for baptism of all his horrible sins including the murder of a son and a wife etc. That forgiveness is given in a sacramental and all the evil of Constantine’s life is forgiven though not really erased in the tally of things, the equations of life things etc.

I am not that good with names. And then quoting all these Latin names in history, of popes Pontian and Hippolytus, I think crowds the landscape with a bit of fog in understanding and or perspective of that moment in history, especially to a typical modern American audience.  Duh.

But there, I read that many times quoted cliché of Benedict having a lunch date with Francis and a First in History false media meme.  Whatever.

Speaking of Latin names and Latinos. I saw this horrible ABC article, link below, about how all the Latinos are insulted that a pope of European descent claims the right to the title of “Latino”. 

The Black Flag Ops article really is I think a demand from the white right GOP to divorce Francis from those brown people claiming some equality to the rights of the white race, making the pope out to be “Latino”. 

If you think I am exaggerating, just look at the past four years and the GOP’s efforts to destroy the economy of the United States for the mere sake of trying to discredit a man in the White House of African descent. Whatever again.

There is also a link below that got past the editors at The Telegraph in the UK of an interview with a Cardinal Bergoglio before the conclave, the link on the article has disappeared but the black hearted “Journalist” is polluting the information lanes of the internet with unsubstantiated quotes from a full transcript of the interview. How does that work? Lost the link? But found the full transcript? Dan Brown are you out there?

Which leaves my delayed rage to the end of this piece so to speak, to say that when I look at Benedict and Francis embracing above, I am glad I am no longer a Catholic. 

Because if these two are the best the RC church can do for moral leaders after two thousand years, the institution has definitely jumped the shark!

Whatever (in case anybody is listening) a third time.

St. Patrick’s Day Parade in NYC w/o Cardinal Dolan is like a real St. Patrick’s Day Parade w/o GOP Politics – Dolan a no show – TG ! - still in Rome with all the boys

Let's redo the soundbite on page three - I want to look and sound more Papal

Timmy Dolan is still in Rome celebrating the collateral damage of the Argentine Junta 1976-1983 - i.e. Pope Francis etc.

It was such a relief this year for the airwaves not to be filled with the usual Gay Hate fight of the Manhattan Ubers not allowing gay groups to march under open signs of association.

With Timmy Dolan waiting in the wings to be the second American Pope for the Ubers once Francis retires probably the day after Benedict dies etc. – Dolan was a No Show at this year's Mahattan Parade – Thank God! – for the peace and quiet and no political bullshit over the probably gay Saint Patrick of Ireland and his straight masked, "silk lace" parade in Manhattan.

Democratic front runner for mayor in this year’s upcoming election, openly Gay Speaker of the New York City Council Christine Quinn boycotted the Neo-con Catholic /GOP St. Patrick’s Day Parade yesterday in Manhattan.  She opted instead to parade in the Rockaways, Queens St. Pat’s Parade that does not discriminate based on sexual God given orientation.

Cardinal Dolan’s Decimation of Irish Seminary in Rome Goes Ignored In American Media

The Laughing Cow Prince Bishop of New York City

The American Main Stream Media are no doubt waiting like a bunch of hungry hounds for gifts and PR handouts of boxes of Cuban Cigars and cases of Jameson Whiskey to keep writing good things about the laughing cow Prince Bishop of New York City.  All you need to succeed in Benedict’s vengeful retaliatory gestures to the Irish Politicians who hate him and want him in a docket at the world court for crimes against humanity for his decades of support and cover up of clerical child abuse is send in a drunk fat stooge with a smile and a free pass from the world press to install a new set of no doubt hand picked closeted homosexual stooges, hand picked by Ratzinger and Bertone themselves, to run the Irish Seminary in Rome and all is right with the world.

MSM enablers of RC world wide child abuse for decades.  MSM enabling of decimation of the Irish Seminary in Rome. Same thing.

Irish Archbishops slam Cardinal Timothy Dolan’s report on Rome Irish college 

Cardinal Timothy Dolan has been attacked by four Irish archbishops for a misleading report which had led to major changes at the Irish College in Rome. 

The Irish Times reports that the four archbishops are heavily critical of Cardinal Dolan’s role in a visitation and review of the College ordered by the Pope. 

The four archbishops, Cardinal Seán Brady, Archbishop of Armagh; the Archbishop of Dublin, Dr Diarmuid Martin; the Archbishop of Tuam, Dr Michael Neary, and the Archbishop of Cashel, Dr Dermot Clifford, were sent a copy of the visitation report by the Vatican. 

They say Cardinal Dolan’s report, which has resulted in the college hierarchy being sent back to Ireland and may see it close down, is riddled with errors.Under orders from Pope Benedict, Cardinal Dolan led a root and branch review of all structures and processes at the famous Irish seminary in the Vatican. 

His report expressed concern about ‘the atmosphere, structure, staffing and guiding philosophy of the Irish College in Rome’. 

But now four of Ireland’s leading clerics have hit out at the report.In a statement to the Irish Times, they said: “As part of the process involved in the visitation to the Irish College, Rome, the trustees were given an initial report by the Holy See. 

“This initial report contained some serious errors of fact, including named individuals. Attentive to the importance of applying due process, and respecting the rights of those named in this initial report, the trustees made a detailed and considered response to the Holy See.” 

Cardinal Dolan was still an Archbishop when he led the apostolic visitation to the Irish College in Rome last year. 

He was assisted in the visitation report by the then Archbishop of Baltimore in the US and now Cardinal Edwin O’Brien, Msgr Francis Kelly of the Northern American College in Rome and others.

Next Papal Election - Fix is in? - Cardinal Bertone

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/05/31/us-vatican-butler-bertone-idUSBRE84U0R820120531

Among the mishaps on Bertone's watch, the new archbishop of Warsaw had to quit in 2007 one hour before his installation because he had spied for the communist-era police. This was known in Poland but the pope was long kept in the dark.

In 2009, Catholics, Jews and German politicians rounded on Benedict after he rehabilitated four rebel bishops, including one who was a notorious Holocaust denier. The shocked pope had to admit Curia officials had not done a quick search on him on the Internet, where his extreme-right views were on full display.

According to leakers quoted anonymously in the Italian media, the trigger for the campaign was the last consistory in February where an unusually high number of Italians and Curia officials were made cardinals who will vote for the next pope.

Bertone is not the frontrunner to succeed Benedict - Milan Cardinal Angelo Scola is often mentioned as the best-placed - but the way he has strongly promoted his allies has led to suspicions he wants to play a role when the voting takes place.

"The most delicate power balances in the Vatican are obviously at stake," La Stampa wrote.

Facebook vs. King Condom

It is a battle of the Titans on WWF? No. Just Factbook against the Pope!

Don’t get too excited and don’t reserve any pay per view channels. It is just the average guys and gals in the street not bowing to the worn out, obsolete PR of the western establishment slowing crumbling before our very eyes.

History and the demise of the RC church in out lifetime may match the timing or go quicker than Bear Sterns went belly up on Wall Street.

The nameless people, the peasants, do not want to be talked down to anymore by a bubble wrapped religious emperor who thinks that every word dripped from his lips should be applauded. Hey Joe, there is a real world outside the Vatican.

Condoms do stop some transmission of the AIDS virus. Read my lips Joe! - or Benedict or whatever name you wish to go by. Truth is not in a name or a title. That is so passé, royal and 12th century.

The people in the streets don’t buy the Cable TV, MSM talking heads, or papel bullshit about forty years of birth control misinformation coming out of the festering corrupt pile of the hierarchy of the RC church.

Real people with real sex lives know how to conduct themselves in bedrooms, between consenting adults, and know how to be informed about safe sex. Sex and the propaganda about condoms did not pour so wonderfully over the pope’s lips in the in-flight news conference where he used the word condom but had possibly never really seen or touched one. Faking it Joe? An 81 year old virgin?

Nameless people change history. Kudos for maybe not nameless people on Facebook who are making their contribution to the continuation and survival of our civilization and secular world!

There are names that escape history. There was a name they dug up for the Abolition movement in the mid 19 century US culture and later refound for the Civil Rights movement in the US 1960’s. The name of Crispus Attucks was one of the first five Yanks that got killed by British “friendly fire” at the so-called Boston Massacre. Being a free black man and 20% of the collateral damage made his example a useful tool to illustrate how blacks had been present all along in American history, though many times swept to a back page as a footnote.

So too Muntadar al-Zaidi’s name is not a famous name in the western world but his throwing his shoes at the Authoritarian President Bush makes him a household name among the world’s billion plus Muslims.

Facebook, an Internet hangout for whatever, has now taken up the challenge. Like nameless peasants with torches and pitchforks, they are ready to storm the Vatican Castle of Ignorance in reference to Scientific Misinformation about Condoms. They “are mad as hell and do not want to take it anymore” in regards to the Papal Misinformation about Condoms and AIDS.

They are proposing to send condoms to the Pope in the Vatican. Oh Joy!

Facebook users wage condom campaign against Pope

A good step – in the right direction? I hope nobody starts throwing those little packets/things at his Holiness. Despite his gross Ignorance, he is defined by his role, stupid as he is at times, and deserving to a measure of old fashioned respect – does the younger generation have any clue what I am talking about. You cannot or should not advocate the change of the world by anything other than non-violent means. Gandhi and MLK in the modern age have demonstrated that.

Remember that Crispus paid with his life for his contribution to the American Revolution and Muntadar got sentenced to three years in jail for his actions and after being tortured and having had his teeth kicked out in the jails of our freedom loving allies – the Iraqi government.

There is always a cause and an effect. That is a law, energy, of Physics.

The peasants with the torches and pitchforks precipitates an end to the monster in the old 1930 Horror flicks – they do not necessarily kill the monster.

The monster within, the beast, the cause of the ghosts of millions of medieval violence victims, harnessed and or orchestrated by the RC church should be a thing of the past. Otherwise, the pope would be on his knees, apologizing and praying for forgiveness for his corporation until the end of time.

That being said. Hip, Hip, Hooray to Facebook!

And also to Joe the Pope - to cause a massive surge worldwide in the sale and use of condoms for safe sex and as a preventative effort to ward off the AIDS virus.

The Force be blessed!
