  • I was listening to a cartoon on EWTN this morning. It was about this person. They made him sound like a socialist. I know that his father was very much so. Did his son follow in his fathers footsteps?

  • In this cartoon they made him sound like Barack Obama. Taking the money paid in taxes by the rich and spreading it to the poor. The government taking cotrol of everyone and everything. Not the way Christ would have said it. That we and the church help the poor. It was kind of different.

    I do know that the Church created by Vatican II pumps out saints in record numbers. And, if you look at some of them they are questionable indeed. They also have a strange way of taking real Saints, like St. Catherine of Sienna and twisting what she did into some sort of militant feminism.

    I do not know if Pier Giorio said those things in real life or if he turned away from his socialist father's ways into a real saint.

    Of course for the record, I do not John Paul or Benedict had the right to name anyone a saint as they were heretics before being named pope and therefore had no right to the papacy.
