Pope Francis’ 2018 Message? Same as 2017, Migration Without End

Pope Francis addresses crowd in St. Peter’s Square, January 1, 2018.
Picking up where he left off in 2017, Pope Francis wasted no time pushing migrants in the new year. In his January 1 speech, a day designated by the Roman Church-State (RCS) as the World Day of Peace, Francis wasted no time calling for more of the same international migrant socialism that has done so much damage to the nations of Western Europe and North America.
Said the pope, “In a spirit of compassion, let us embrace all those fleeing from war and hunger, or forced by discrimination, persecution, poverty and environmental degradation to leave their homelands.” Receiving countries, we are told, have an obligation to take in the migrants. But not just take them in. They have an obligation to feed, clothe and house them, meaning national governments have the moral duty to forcibly extract money from their citizens to pay for these obligations.
So Let Me Get This Straight…Nancy Pelosi And Tax Logic

House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi doesn’t like the Republicans tax cut. No, not one little bit.
“In this holy time, the moral obscenity and unrepentant greed of the GOP tax scam stands out even more clearly…This GOP tax scam is simply theft, monumental, brazen theft from the American middle class and from every person who aspires to reach it,” she says.
So let me get this straight, Congress resolves to forcibly take less money from the people who earned it, and she calls this theft? Hmmm. I can’t seem to find that definition of “theft” anywhere in my dictionary.
Of course, as a daughter of the Roman Church-State, she’s simply regurgitating the social teaching of the popes in whose incompetent political and economic thought she’s been steeped, presumably from her youth up.
Two years ago when Pope Francis visited the US, Pelosi’s office released a statement that read in part, “Standing in the very heart of our democracy, Pope Francis spoke to the better angels of our nature and of the American people. He reminded us of our sacred and inescapable responsibility to those struggling to escape poverty, persecution and war. He challenged us to rescue our planet from the climate crisis that threatens the future of our children and the health of God’s creation – and to do so sensitive to the needs of the poor. His Holiness urged us to live our values and reach beyond our divisions.”
In other words, the papal Antichrist urged Congress to betray the interests American people by instituting a massive increase in the welfare state by pursuing the dangerous policies of the climate change globalists.
News flash, capitalism has done more to lift the poor from their poverty than all the puerile socialist pontifications of the popes ever have or ever will.
Private property and limited, constitutional government. This is the Biblical and compassionate formula for lifting the poor from their poverty.
Earlier in December Pelosi said of the GOP tax plan, “This is Armageddon.”
So I guess that means when Trump signs the bill into law, it’ll be Judgment Day.

“Pope Francis slams ‘stupid’ climate change deniers” was the headline in Al Jazeera this past week. In the report, the current occupant of the seat of Antichrist, Pope Francis I, in so many words said that that you must be stupid if you deny the connection between man-made climate change and the recent hurricanes that devastated the Caribbean, Florida and Texas.
The fact that hurricane activity, contrary to predictions based upon the climate models of the global warming/climate change crowd, has been down in recent years didn’t stop Pope Francis from pontificating as to the cause of the storms. In ex cathedra like fashion, he pronounced them the result of climate change resulting from man’s activities. The pope said it. That settles it. No other explanation is needed or permitted.
The pope advanced the opinions of scientists to bolster his point. But the scientific community is not as united on the issue of man-made climate change or the cause of the severe storms of the 2017 hurricane season as the pope would like you to think. For example, climatologist Dr. Judith Curry has explained that the severity of Hurricane Irma was the result, not of increased sea temperatures, but of weak wind shear. According to her, weak wind shear had a lot to do with the intensity of Irma. As she explains it, strong winds take away the heat and moisture needed for a hurricane to strengthen. Further, strong winds tilt the vortex of a hurricane which also weakens the storm.
Perhaps Dr. Curry’s opinion is correct. Perhaps there is another, better explanation for the intensity of the 2017 hurricane season. But the big takeaway is that there are legitimate climate scientists who have cast serious doubt on the pope’s assertion that Irma was the result of man’s industrial activity.
Hot Air – The Globalist Agenda Behind Pope Francis’ Environmentalism

“Australian police charge Vatican Treasurer over historical sexual assaults,” blared the CNBC headline. Although the article did not go on the specify the specific charges, it appears that they are related to an investigation into Pell for child sexual assault. After decades of tragic headlines of this sort, such arrests seem to be almost standard issue when it comes to officials of the Roman Church-State (RCS). The one surprising thing about the charges brought against Pell is that he is the highest ranking Church official to be accused of child abuse.
Not to be outdone, the fine folks at the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (an organization within the RCS formerly known as “The Inquisition”) decided it would be a good idea to hold what the Daily Mail described as a “drug fuelled gay orgy” at an apartment owned by said organization.
Unbelievable. Only when it comes to scandals relating to the Vatican, it’s pretty much business as usual.
But as sensational as these headlines are, it is important to keep in mind that they are not exceptional, one-off occurrences, but part of a larger pattern of depravity within the RCS. But even more important still is to understand that moral outrages of this sort are not mere examples of hypocrisy within an otherwise sound system, but the rotten fruit of the rotten anti-Christian theology of Rome.
The RCS is the Mystery Babylon of Revelation, and her papal head the office of Antichrist. With such a spiritual pedigree, it is unsurprising that Rome’s prelates would act as they do.
The Week In Review 5/13/2017 – You’re Fired!

.
The big story this past week? Pretty obviously it was Donald Trump’s decision to reprise his role on the Apprentice, issuing a “Comey, you’re fired” to the now former FBI Director.
As with any decision of this sort, the was a sharp divide along party lines. Some Republicans cheered the news. Democrats, on the other hand, railed against the decision.
Writing in The New Yorker, John Cassidy opined, “At a time like this, it is important to express things plainly. On Tuesday evening, Donald Trump acted like a despot.”
Oh, spare me. The republic will survive.
Generally speaking, the hiring and firing of federal bureaucrats is not a terribly interesting topic. But in Comey’s case, a few words are in order.
For my part, I lost all respect for the man last summer when he failed to recommend charges against a clearly guilty Hillary Clinton in the Servergate scandal.
Then, just a week before the November vote, Comey claimed he was reopening the investigation, only to shut it down just a few days later. This made Comey appear indecisive.
A third failure of judgment on Comey’s part was his decision to launch an investigation into Trump’s dealings with Russia, based, as it was, in part on the debunked “Golden Shower” dossier.
So we have an FBI Director who wouldn’t recommend charges against Hillary Clinton, against whom there was a mountain of evidence suggesting serious wrongdoing during her term as Secretary of State, but who continued to doggedly pursue the case against Donald Trump, a case notable for its complete lack of actual evidence.
So, should Comey have been fired? Yes.He failed the biggest test of his career when he refused to recommend charges against a clearly guilty Hillary Clinton. Thankfully, the American people showed better judgment than he did by refusing to put her in office.
