The GOP’s absurd anti-Pope crusade

[Buzz Jenkins]

who apparently thinks that the poor and wretched have some kind of intrinsic value

So did Jesus.

First of all, Jesus Christ probably did not exist in the way you think he did.

Secondly, If he did exist I can say with no qualm that I am opposed to his leftist tripe. People should be judged on what they do instead of being assigned intrinsic value. Intrinsic value is, in essence, a form of social subside in that it entitles someone, King or skag rapist, to certain natural rights that they did nothing to earn.

Third, I am an atheist. Therefore, your intended "profound" comeback failed miserably.

So..what's your intrinsic value?

My big, fat cock.

Three words, GLOBAL WARMING and Amnesty! Both men support these but for different reasons, BOTH are wrong, but who is going to quibble about agendas!

I left the Church of Rome for many reasons. But I love her still to this day. But this Pope disturbs me.

Of course he does. He is a sane and moral man.

Why? Because he believes in man made influence on the climate and fighting income inequality?

No he is a Pope of Man and not of Christ.Pretty big deal when you're talking Rome.

And suddenly you are speaking for Christ?

The GOP hates pope francis because he addresses actual issues they want to ignore.
The GOP’s absurd anti-Pope crusade: The bizarre spectacle of Republicans turning on a religious leader

Faced with the distinct possibility that the man who is currently the world’s most beloved and respected moral authority will publicly shred their governing ideology and rebuke their position on issues from immigration to climate change, conservatives are responding by having a complete meltdown over Pope Francis’ impending visit.



In the equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears and singing “La! La! La!”

Republican Catholic Congressman Paul Gosar announced that he will boycott Pope Francis’ Thursday speech to Congress because the pope may talk about climate change. As he writes in Time, he was super psyched to hear Francis talk about the persecution of Christian minorities in the Middle East, the “enslavement, belittlement, rape and desecration of Christian women and children,” and the “condoned, subsidized, intentionally planned genocide of unborn children by Planned Parenthood.”

But, to his eternal disappointment, Francis reportedly “instead intends to focus the brunt of his speech on climate change—a climate that has been changing since first created in Genesis.” Even worse, according to Gosar, is the fact that “this climate change talk has adopted all of the socialist talking points, wrapped false science and ideology into ‘climate justice’ and is being presented to guilt people into leftist policies.”

What most disappoints Gosar is that Francis isn’t sticking to “standard Christian theology”—you know, that part of the bible where it says “thou shall not fund Planned Parenthood,” not the part that says “for the land is mine; with me you are but aliens and tenants. Throughout the land that you hold, you shall provide for the redemption of the land” (Leviticus 25:23-24). Or the part that says, “For the fate of humans and the fate of animals is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and humans have no advantage over the animals; for all is vanity” (Ecclesiastes 3:18-22).

The new Pope is a Peronista. I suggest you look that up.

I know what peronism is.

Then you should understand why the pubs don't like him much.

Certainly. He is sane. He is truthful. He has a humane attitude toward his fellow man. And he is smart and understands science. Reasons enough.

Really? What conservatives are outraged?

We disagree that governments should be able to rob people to redistribute to their allies. Heck yeah. Thou shalt not steal is still in the ten commandments. But one one has criticized charity or upset when he advocates or. We just understand charity cannot be compelled.

Oh, plenty are outraged, have you been blindfolded and wearing ear plugs? Governments aren't robbing people, taxation is allowed, every country does it. Taxation is not stealing, it's the price we pay for living in a stable society.

Taking money from someone by threat of force is robbery. We rebelled from great Britain over smaller burdens than we have now.

We also didn't have all of the programs people rely on today back then, highways, medicare, medicaid, food stamps, social security, public schools, school lunches, the VA, the massive military..

And all I've seen are threads from leftists and Jeremiah who is inspired by anticatholicism and not politics.
