  • There was another revealing comment made by Pope Francis in one of the interviews surrounding World Youth Day.


    On the occasion of World Youth Day, Rio 2013, journalist Gerson Camarotti of Globo News, 29/07/2013, interviewed Pope Francisco.  Near the end of the interview (27:17), Francis came with a tremendous declaration which will have serious implications for the future.


    Quote
    I think it is important that we all work for others. Prune selfishness. A work by others, according to the values of the faith. Everyone, every Confession has its own belief, but according to the values of each one's faith, to work for the others. And we all find together to work for the others.

    If a child is hungry and has no education, what should interest us is to stop him being hungry and him to have education. If the education is given by Catholics, by Protestants, by Orthodox or by Jєωs, I do not care[/u]. What I am interested in is that he gets educated and that he is not more hungry. In that we have to agree.

    Today, the urgency is such that we can not fight among ourselves at the expense of others.

     ...

    But the job of religions, of confessions is not beneficence. It is true. But at least, in our Catholic faith and other Christian faiths, we will be judged by these works of mercy.

  • Education, here, obviously being a code word for indoctrination.

  • With Pope Francis, there are so so many "odd" remarks and "near" heresies that we are bound to overlook many of them only to be surprised at a later date.

    Does Pope Francis want to form a coalition of all Christian confessions under the banner of religion as the clerical arm of the one world order?

    Absolutely

    I recall hearing Dr. William Marra talk about his decision to homeschool his children. One of his sons, who was 8 years old at the time, came home from a "Catholic" school and told him that the miracles in the Bible were myths. I believe this incident happened in the 1970s or early 1980s. Things have only gotten worse nice then.

    No wonder he received congratulations from Madonic lodges upon his election.

  • I think "to instruct the ignorant" means to instruct the ignorant on faith. "To instruct the ignorant" is included with spiritual works of mercy and not corporal works of mercy.  

    Works of mercy are futile without having the Catholic faith, correct?

    He seems to be more pan-religious than that. Why stop at Christian when you can include Hindu fakirs and Voodoo priestesses? John Paul the Totally Awesome and Benedict, who seem almost Trads in comparison to Francis, were fine with those sorts.

  • Education, particularly higher education, college USED to be a privilege for those who had inclinations and callings towards it. Now it's almost a requirement to be accepted within our society.

    Even worse, the degrees don't guarantee a job after graduation. College tuition is unaffordable to most people which is why they need debt, which cannot be discharged even in bankruptcy - in other words, debt slave.

    Allowing an ignorant teenager seeking self improvement, education and future employment to accept six figure amounts of debt, should be criminalized.

    A child born today will need $250,000-$700,000 (at current yearly rises) to afford a typical 4 year degree. So as "responsible" parents we "should" save and sacrifice for their benefit! (I jest).

    As a parent, why would we want to send out children to an environment which promotes behavior contrary to all we've taught and warned them about? They come home to ridicule our religion, belittle our ways because they've become so worldly from such learned minds from their expensive inculcation. Then what? They leave the faith, value secularism and condemn their own family.

    So, here we have Pope Francis admitting that he does not care about the state of the soul, as long as the belly is full.
    R.I.P.
    Please pray for the repose of my soul.
