Pope Francis’ “Atlas Shrugged” – Benson’s “Lord of the World”?

Am reading some right wing Catholic blogs and the current meme driving up to become recognized as some global fact is that Pope Francis is supposedly quoting a lot from his so-called favorite author and book – Benson’s Lord of the World.

It is a hundred year old Eschatological piece that was all the rage in Catholic reading a century ago. It comes with a Vatican City state including all of Rome, Secular Humanism replacing the once sacred role of religion, and of course an American (veiled Jewish?) Antichrist called Julian Felsenburg.

I have not read the once popular work of fiction but two things I see coming if in fact Francis is a Benson Fan on the topic of religion as are so many anti-humanists in the United States are Ayn Rand fans in the political realm. False bibles to lead false movements are so necessary at times.

One. What scares me is that this End of the World mentality may be at the basis of the present pope’s philosophy if not practice to the poor. Organizing a Children's Poor People's Crusade so to speaks to mask a grab for secular power by religion? The poor as canon fodder (elections) in the climb back up to Political importance in EUrope?

Two. That the secular fascist forces of the bankers and politicians can easily merge with the religious fascism of the right. All this pro-life rhetoric in the face of climate change, all this end of the world stuff, false ideas as flypaper to glue the far right together in a self-fulfilling self-destructive prophetic scenario.

Having worked in back office banking once upon a time, I saw the financial melt down of the Argentine middle class in the early eighties, with its hyper-inflation and the middle classes and rich classes scrambling out of cash into legally allowed amounts of gold holdings in overseas and American accounts. Argentina has been unstable ever since the days of the Junta.  

Eschatology fits so well into the weak minded idea to rid oneself, an end, of the torture of self-doubt which religion is in the reality of many everyday people.

Is Francis real or merely the amalgam of all his doubts, guilts, sins and denials of the roles he has and is playing in his life?

Pope Francis - Inconvenience of the Resurrection of that nasty Liberation Theology stuff thrown over the cliff by Reagan, Thatcher and Wojtyla - History of Silence

An old fashioned style do nothing Holy Card Pope?

In the back of the Attention Deficit brain of the dumbed down since Reagan mindset, there lies that CIA secret war on Terror (of Terror?) in Central and South America that never officially took place (Iran Contra – Wink Nod) that us proud fair-minded when it comes to rich white heterosexual people only, freedom luvin Americans are proud of when we see the flag and play the national anthem kind of thing.

And then there is that nasty gritty Allende/Kissinger Junta Coup de Tat Chile Sauce stuff that has to get reduced to ten second sound bites and spoon fed to us by Brian Williams on NBC nightly national news every night.

Well they elected a genuine Argentine as pope, but that’s is okay. His dad and granddad were born in Italy, (he is white, sort of, for an Italian, Wink Nod). 

And the RC church is now goin to recruit all them lost millions of sheep of South American Pentecostals back from all that Pentecostal demon stuff once Pope Francis gets up a head of steam into his estimated five to six year reign of power to turn around the Cold Gray Lady of the Vatican and it's bureaucratic Gay Porn loving bureaucracy, around to the concept that Jesus loved the po' folks or at least tried to put up with their smelly po' folks way of doing things, "takers" on welfare kind of thing and all that.

And there are those who say that Cardinal Bergoglio actually saved some people from the Gestapo Junta and he deserves to be made a saint too like Saint Pius XII that saved all them Jew folks in WWII.

And then again there is reality.

Blase Bonpane, who served as a Maryknoll father in Guatemala until he was expelled by the right-wing military in 1967, was among the priests and nuns who believed in the teachings of liberation theology, which held that the Catholic Church must address the plight and marginalization of the poor. 

 Bonpane, now director of the Office of the Americas and host of “World Focus” on Pacifica Radio, expressed grave concerns about the silence of the new Pope Francis, who as Father Jorge Mario Bergoglio did not speak out publicly against the Argentine junta as it conducted a “dirty war” killing some 30,000 people, including 150 Catholic priests. Bonpane was interviewed by Dennis J. Bernstein.

DB: Talk to us about the new pope Francis, who has been portrayed widely as a pope of the people, who rides the bus, love sports and has a lot of sympathy for the poor How would you describe his background and his relationship, if any, to the Argentine “dirty wars.”

 BB: I would say that he is a populist conservative. But we have a problem that is structural within the church, and that is that the church has generally been subsidiary to the state and has generally gone along with the state in its history since the Council of Nicea in 325 AD.

 There seems to be no exception in Argentina where most of the reports we received during the “dirty wars” were of the clerics not speaking out as they should have. And many of them opposing individual priests that were liberation theologians. In certain cases this led to the arrest of priests, such as Orlando Yorio and Francisco Jalic who were kidnapped and practically killed by the Junta.

 Afterward, Orlando Yorio spoke about the situation of surviving months of imprisonment. He felt it was because the church had said he was a liberation theologian and they didn’t want to approve of him and his work in the slums of Buenos Aires. So yes, there are many accusations, most of them in the book The Silence, which refers to just that, the fact that silence is complicity and in some cases there is direct participation of clerics together with the junta.

[Junta leader Jorge Rafael] Videla could go to holy communion anytime and would be well received by the higher church in Argentina. This is tragic. But look at the situation in the U.S. Are our bishops speaking out against Guantanamo and that people are being held there? Are they speaking out on behalf of Bradley Manning? No. There’s a silence here as well.

 There is a history of silence. The Church supported Franco in Spain. We have the terrible situation with [Pope] Pius XII and his relationship to the Germans in the period of the Third Reich. It’s not unusual. It’s been a subservient church in many ways. The new pope has not been comfortable with liberation theology. It is possible to speak on behalf of the poor without supporting the real fundamental changes that are present with liberation theology.

Jihad - Nazi - Anti-Semitic -- Banned Hate Words

It is time to remove little bits, words, of auxiliary verbal HATE from our language. To Ban then!

I am writing this off the cuff. I removed the Jihad from my earlier article about Cordoba House / Mosque in lower Manhattan.

There is a great FOX NEWS monitored or sponsored visual rally against the mosque this coming Sunday, a so-called Christian day of rest.

I have seen what amounts to hate literature regarding the building of this porposed mosque.

JIHAD is a Muslim Hate Word.

NAZI is an antichrist or derived from Western Christian culture Hate Word – hate word when used to describe anybody other than Nazis in the Press, Radio, or TV.

Anti-Semitic is used to throw at any non-Jew or real Jews (Self Hating supposedly) who disagree with the Military Junta that runs Israel.

ANTI-SEMITIC is the most abused phrase in the English language in it double usage – it’s original meaning and now its permanent political “shut up” meaning. Used to silence the protestors against the Military Junta running Israel and its despicable and inhumane foreign polity – it is used as a HATE WORD the majority of the time these sad days in human history.

These three hate words related to the three monotheistic religions must be banned for a few decades in order to move forward to a civilized global future of all the human race.

Amen. Amen. I say to you. Roadblocks to World Peace and roadblocks to genuine communications amongst the brothers and sisters of humanity will no longer be tolerated.
