And just how RICH is it that Frank is using Our Lord's millstone quote out-of-context, making it about laundering money    instead of about what Our Lord used it for: stopping the CHILDREN from coming to Christ. As in, not prying apart the hands of a child who is praying.

...

Very astute observation for you, StCecilia'sGirl!  

The millstone context is the same in Matthew, St. Mark and St. Luke.

It is all about the scandalizing of children who believe in Him:


AT that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who thinkest thou is the greater in the kingdom of heaven? 2And Jesus calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them, 3And said: Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven. 5And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me. 6But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea.  7Woe to the world because of scandals. For it must needs be that scandals come: but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh.



The implications are terrifying for Francis.


This is the Pope ABOUT whom the media have dished out the "HUMBLE"
moniker from day one.  This is his theme of choice. He obviously wants
to be KNOWN as "the Pope of humility."  


I hate to be the wet blanket, but he's making a real muck of this thing.


What he is obviously engaged in accomplishing is, the INVERSION of
the definition of humility, and turning it into something else!!  


This is another ATTACK ON RIGHT REASON.


Just in case you thought that Benedict's stupid hermeneutic of continuity
was just about as bad as it can ever get, well, guess what?  Here is a
big old dose of BAD FRUIT of BAD THINKING.  


This pope isn't "humble" at all.  It's all a big ruse, a CHARADE!  What he
is in the midst of doing is MAKING A MOCKERY OF HUMILITY.


First he mocks humility, then he mocks an altar boy, and in so doing, he
is (as Our Lord said, above, "And he that shall receive one such little child
in my name, receiveth me") MOCKING OUR LORD!!


Here he is STEPPING IN IT, by scandalizing not only that altar boy whose
hands he ABUSED with his BLASPHEMOUS RIDICULE, asking him if they
were "stuck" -- he then OPENLY  and  DELIBERATELY  misapplies the
very words of Our Lord, when they were OBVIOUSLY pointing at POINT
BLANK RANGE directly in HIS OWN FACE.  




woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh



If the man who scandalizes like Francis, is due woe, what pray tell, is
due to the man, like Francis, who deliberately misquotes the very
Scripture where his error is condemned, when it's HIS JOB TO PROPERLY
INTERPRET SCRIPTURE!!!!  




Every language has a catch phrase for this, but I think Spanish has
one of the best:  "¡AY, CARAMBA!"
