Will Pope Francis Emulate The Climate Change Shysters?

Over the life of this blog I've done quite a few posts that expose the colossal hoax known as "climate change".  Here is one anthology of posts.  I suggest careful study of the first, and the video to which it links.

It appears that Pope Francis has glommed onto the global warming hoax, as it appears that he'll devote an encyclical to promulgating this erroneous theory.  Contrary to the yap and yammer from progressives, the science to which they refer is, at best, shoddy.  Much of the so-called "research" has been nothing more than elaborate scams, as the videos in this post anthology will reveal.

If such an encyclical is released, it will not touch upon the areas of faith and morals.  Of course we must ensure that we don't waste or carelessly pollute, but the underlying premise behind that obligation is that mankind is, in the eyes of God, above all other creation and the earth must be preserved for service to future generations of people.  If he's going to promote "climate change", he will be promoting a flawed theory based on junk science.

Someone suggested to me that the leftists may be hyping this up in hopes that the pope will fall in line behind them like a mouse following the piped piper to its doom and that the actual encyclical will be along the vein described in the previous paragraph.  If that does happen that there is shilling for climate change, we are not obliged to obey error.  In fact, we will have the solemn duty to resist - respectfully, but unmistakably.  Here is an excellent post describing circumstances and ways in which we must resist even popes who might lead us into error, complete with papal citations.

Even if the encyclical is relatively benign, one may wonder why he chose that topic on which to base this encyclical.  Just a few months ago the sin-nod ended, a meeting in which it was suggested that there might be "positive value" to sodomite mortal sin.  In a saner time, a bishop would have been horrified at the prospect of basic morals being cast into doubt.  This situation reflects a greater spiritual pollution that has corroded the minds and consciences of so many Catholics, a pollution that threatens them with damnation.  I don't believe this has escaped the pope's notice.  So why is he not addressing that as opposed to a matter that is not essential to eternal salvation?  Is there a decent answer to that question?

Louie Verrecchio of Harvestingthefruit.com has devised his own answer to the bimbo video!  It may be worth following his suggestions!

MD Public Schools Accommodating Sharia Law

Parkdale High School in Riverdale, MD (that's Prince George's County) is allowing qualified students to leave class for eight minutes daily to pray.  These students all happen to be members of the Muslim Students' Association.  About ten are participating and more want to do so, but some teachers are balking at the idea.

Would this same school allow Christian students a similar break so that they can read their bibles somewhere?  Why do I think that's a ridiculous question?  Will these Muslims have their own room in which to pray (I believe they like to face east when praying)?  Would that mean this school is favoring Islam above other religions?  Of course - but Islam falls within politically correct, progressive standards.  They'll get a free pass that other faiths won't receive.

In Montgomery County, all the school board incumbents were elected.  Did PG County suffer the same fate?  We really must issue some pink slips next time.

Bimbo Video - A Segue To Women's Ordination?

First, let me highlight a point that I did make in my Christmas Day post, "More On The Bimbo Video".  I just now emboldened some lines previously written that made clear that what I wrote was in no way to be construed as an evaluation of the actress's character in general.  That said, she did agree to adopt the stereotypical mannerisms and personae of a bimbo.  I opine that was abysmally poor judgment on her part - but she chose to play a bimbo, now she owns the consequences.  I am not the only "mean-spirited" woman to be bemused by this mischaracterization of women.  Mary Jo Anderson, writing for Catholic World Report, in her own excellent article, nicknamed her "Coquette".  She briefly quotes the reactions of other Catholic women that are quite direct.

Having just learned of this article (which I highly recommend for your reading), I now believe it was that piece, rather than our US-based blogs, that caused the Pontifical Council for Culture to pull the video.  CWR does have far greater international readership than do we, and this article would have made tremendous blips on the Vatican radar.  However, her article is also in English.  The Council pulled only the English version of the bimbo-video.  The Italian version remains on their site.  Please note that below the video they did provide the script in English.  Why in the name of heaven did they bother to do that?  Would it not have made more sense to leave the English online?  How stupid do they think we are?  Or, more to the point, how stupidly can they act?

But the woman in the video asks "at what point are we today as women".  I redirect your attention to the window that opened when you clicked the first link.  Please check the comments section for information from commenter Marie, for which I thank her.  Therein she cites a post by Eponymous Flower, dating back to November, just after the Sin-Nod.  This post exposes the heterodox Pablo D'Ors, appointed as Consulter for the Pontifical Council for Culture by Pope Francis.  Please read the EF post, as I believe Tancred is onto something.  D'Ors dabbles in Zen Buddhism, describes himself as "erotic, mystical and weird" with a "life full of loving relationships" and yes, he's a priest.

Tancred's article starts by saying, "The Pontifical Council for Culture  is preparing an 'opening' towards women priests?   Pablo d'Ors, appointed papal Consultor of the Council for Culture since July 1st, is convinced of a realignment. 'While orthodox Church representatives are being kicked out from the Vatican, heretics are being brought in,' said Messa in Latino about the Spanish priest, novelist and Zen Buddhist and his interview in the daily newspaper La Repubblica."  No doubt there is a realignment, and it's to the detriment of the Church and the souls entrusted to her care.

As for the answer to that first question regarding an "opening towards women priests", I strongly suspect the bimbo-video is part and parcel of that opening.

Bimbo Video Gone?? NOPE!!!

Remember this and this?   Well, you be shocked - just shocked I tell you! - to learn that the bimbo video has mysteriously disappeared!  (ahem!)

Or...has it?  Remember - once something is on the internet, it never really goes away!  Never-ever!

Perhaps I had a divine revelation from above, or some preternatural flash of wisdom!  Nah!  Those of us who've been dealing with progressive peons within the chanceries, Catholic conferences and yes, the Vatican, simply know too well how their brains churn.  I knew that the video would be pulled - not because they realized that the video reeked of both stupidity and immoral depravity, but because too many of us exposed it for the ungodly drivel that it is.  At least three of us, e.g., Creative Minority Report, Tenth Crusade and this blog, exposed it.

Question!  Why do they think the mere pulling of the video will do them any good?  Without a proper apology, they simply look like bumbling fools in damage-control mode.

Knowing that the video might be pulled, I made certain that it would never quite go away.  Here it is! You'll need Windows Media Viewer to watch it.

By the way - the gal suggests emailing lifeofwomen2015@gmail.com.  Why don't we use that email address to comment on both the cheesy video and even cheesier way in which they're trying damage control here?

To Vatican/Church officials: Any communications with this blog will be publicized.

More On The Bimbo Video

On Tuesday I commented on the disgraceful video produced by the Pontifical Council for Culture (if that clip is what they produce, they really aren't any culture council at all, but I digress).  Yesterday my friend and blogging colleague at Tenth Crusade put up her own take on the matter.  Truth be told, I thought her analysis was more superior and in-depth than was mine.  She is absolutely right.   That woman who "starred" (using the word "starred" loosely) in that flick adopted the personae of the typical dumb-blond-sex-kitten bimbo.  That observation is not to be construed as an evaluation of the woman's character in general, but one must question why she played that role.  Perhaps she thought it was ok since it was a Vatican venture; that is its own can of worms and does speak to scandal emanating from the Vatican.

I don't know how much the Pontifical Council for Culture paid this woman to purse her lips and squint her eyes in what Tenth Crusade aptly describes as seduction to get her point across.  At least they allowed her to be decently dressed but otherwise it clearly was an abuse of her sexuality.  The fact that any Vatican agency would see fit to release that clip that is just a few steps shy from pornography only points to corruption and lack of Catholic morality in that Council and perhaps at higher levels of the Vatican.  If there is indeed that kind of laxity of Catholic morals, is it too much to fear that there might well be a lack of belief in Jesus Christ Himself?

I went to Christmas Day Mass today.  The gospel was from John 1:1-18.  Please read, for it speaks of the importance of authentic belief in Jesus Christ.  This bimbo-video is the antithesis of what one might expect from those who really hold dear their God and their Church.

Le Figaro Interviews Cardinal Burke

Lifesite News reported on an interview given by Cardinal Burke this week to Le Figaro (Rorate Caeli has the entire English translation).  Among other things His Eminence said (quoting LSN), "it is amazing that those who have defended Catholic teaching and practice on withholding Communion from those in publicly irregular sexual situations, are being accused of being against the Holy Father, and of not being in harmony with the Church.”

His Eminence has suffered persecution in spades.  His ouster from key Vatican positions happened in retaliation for his defense of the Teachings of the Church and of Jesus Christ against the progressive rot within the Vatican.

I and several of my fellow bloggers have experienced a microcosm of these accusations.  For example, I've been told that I'm "down on the pope" and "mean", etc.  Clearly we have a classic case of "if you don't like the message shoot the messenger".  It won't work for the truth will come out.

By God's grace we will continue to defend Holy Mother Church in whatever way we can.  We hope and pray more will join us.

May all my readers, with their families and friends, have  blessed Christmas!

UPDATE!  CASE IN POINT!  The Catholic bishops of England and Wales are accusing faithful Catholics, and those who stood up to the Kasper bullying at the sin-nod, of being Donatists.  They call their screed "Reflection Document for Clergy".  LifeSite News has the full scoop on this document that gives thinly-disguised carte-blanche approval for "katholycs" thumbing their noses at the Church's teachings - with assistance from dissident clergy.

So I guess that makes me a neo-pelagian donatist, mean-spirited person, in the eyes of progressives and libs.  Coming from them, that's a badge of honor.

How The Church Of Nice Determines Its Ideas And Agenda

I understand that Pope Francis chewed out the Curia royally, chiding them for their "fifteen diseases".  His ire is misdirected.  He should be aiming his big guns at the Pontifical Council for Culture for spewing forth the following plop production - unless - (God forbid) he approved the promulgation of this trash.  Its alleged purpose?  To garner input from women

Well, Your Holiness, listen to this woman (me)!  If you really think any woman with two syncopated brain neurons will swoon over this clip and mindlessly obey its babbling, you are hopelessly out of touch with reality!  At best, I find this clip to be laughable.

What truly is lamentable is that this appears to be a serious attempt to garner input for a meeting of bishops scheduled for February 2015.  Has all the Vatican establishment become so cowed by the feminazis that they feel they must debase themselves by putting the name of the Pontifical Council to this slop?  Supposedly this is produced by the Church, but not once is the word "God" mentioned.  Should it not be God's will, discerned by prayer, that determines agendas for meetings?  If this is what the bishops need for input, I shudder to think of what the output will be.

Here's a fun game!  As you watch this banal clip, how many of the "fifteen diseases of the Curia" can you detect in it?  Let us all know via the comments!

CCHD - Blood Of Police Officers On Its Hands?

Michael Hichborn of Lepanto Institute illustrates how a New York based community-organizing outfit was in the thick of the various New York protests, acting as agitators.  This bunch is the Northwest Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition.  This year it received $35,000.00 from the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD).

Please read the Lepanto article for further details.  When the next CCHD shakedown collection looms near, we will remind you of the misuse of Catholic donations.  Then we'll say #no2cchd.

Cuban Refuge: I Am A Catholic Without A Pope

A few days ago I commented about the US-Cuban disaster that was brokered in part by Pope Francis.  Some of that deal's most vociferous opponents are Cuban refuges.  A Cuban gentleman in Florida, who was a political prisoner of the Castro regime for 16 years reacted to the deal by stating "I'm Still  Catholic till the day I die, but I am a Catholic without a pope."

Miami Archbishop Thomas Wenski chided these Catholics by saying "you can't build a future on top of resentments."  May I suggest that those Catholics whose concerns are dismissed by this bishop are not so much resentful, but knowledgeable?  They know the evils of which the Castros are capable for they have lived through it.

Would someone please point me to one single concession for human rights to which the Castros agreed as part of this shyster deal?  All I see is opportunities for some American businesses - with US money lining the pockets of the slave-drivers over there.  The only thing I see being fostered is the enrichment of the communist thugs.

That this pope helped foster this dismal arrangement is a disgrace and a slap in the face to the Cubans who suffer and continue to suffer because of socialism and communism.
