Bread and Circuses

White smoke rises from Sistine Chapel; new pope elected - World News

"Bread and Circuses" (or bread and games) (from Latin: panem et circenses) is a metaphor for a superficial means of appeasement. The phrase is used to describe the creation of public approval, not through exemplary or excellent public service or public policy, but through diversion; distraction; or the mere satisfaction of the immediate, shallow requirements of a populace.

Do you believe the election of the new Pope to be a distraction from something? The problems besetting the Church such as the pedophilia in the priesthood?

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

No, the pope chosen is a Jesuit - the General of the Society of Jesus - leader of the Jesuits is an avowed communist who is behind the shift to a Communist Pope. He will undoubtedly follow the General in his advocating Liberation Theology ( Black Liberation Theology - same teaching - all Marxist Communist teachings ) Adoph Nicolas stated we guarantee that our mission will not be a 'small mission,' a project just of the Jesuits, but that our mission is the mission of the Church."[11]

[edit] Liberation theology


In a November 2008 interview with El Periodico, Nicolás described liberation theology as a "courageous and creative response to an unbearable situation of injustice in Latin America."[12] These remarks are particularly controversial since some forms of liberation theology have been denounced by Pope John Paul II[13] and by Pope Benedict XVI, when he was still Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.[14] However, the Superior General also added, "As with any theology, liberation theology needs years to mature. It's a shame that it has not been given a vote of confidence and that soon its wings will be cut before it learns to fly. It needs more time."[12]

[edit] Referencesthe Liberal Theology ( Marxism ) the Jesuits have endorsed.

This pope is very bad news for the world.
