I know, she's got that whole superman Atlas Shrugged thing going on.  Apparently Ronald Reagan was an admirer, as odd as that sounds.

well, I doubt Reagan believed that the disadvantaged should be allowed to die..
Now, I hate the current "entitlement" program. It needs to be totally re-DONE. There is massive waste going on there, and landlords who get rich off poor people (private owners of publically-controlled housing complexes)
It is all just a scam for the wealthy to get rich off the poor. It needs to be changed. they charge ridiculous rent bc they know the govt can pay and does pay of course. The gov has no reason not to pay bc for the most part don't care about wasting taxpayer money

Yeah, I know, it's pretty sad.  The Church should run programs like that, not The State.  

sure should. but the Church seems to be out to lunch. a homeless person going to the Church will hear from the priest or whomever to go to the govt!
excuse me?? the govt is the problem 9 time out of ten. I am not bashing that 1 out of 10 part of it b/c some people really do benefit from some of the programs.. and some just do NOT have anywhere else to turn, although some of course just abuse the system.. but anyway..
yeh, maybe the govt could built t he infrastructure... units people could live in, bare essentials.. a roof over head.. and the Churches could be entrusted to run the places.. I don't know.. no one seems to want to talk about this kind of thing... the pigs in WA.. all they seem to care about is the trough and how much grub they can get from it.. to hell w/ anyone else (flyovers..)
my perceptions for whatever they are worth

Yeah, I don't think people care very much either.  The Catholic virtue of Charity seems lost on most everyone.  

Apparently, in "the good old days," before King Henry made looting Church Property "fashionable," The Church had far more wealth and the means to produce it, than The State does today.  Unfortunately, we don't seem to be heading back in that direction just yet.  

Did you know the "Church" gave 250 million to stakeholders when the Banco Ambrosiano collapsed? The Vatican bank  was headed by someone who was likely a secret society member, Marcinkus.. given much power over the VAtican (not just the bank) by Paul VI who was also likely a member of the boy's club..
Marcinkus claimed the money did not mean the Vatican was involved in the fraud.. Right.. but anyway... yeh, i am not sure I buy it that the Church does not have access to a lot of money...

No doubt there is and has always been corruption in The Church;  remember Judas Iscariot?  

However, I think The Church's power has been greatly diminished over the past 5 centuries.  A Bishop used to have the power and the money to raise an army to sack a city.  That kind of power is way beyond the reach of The Church today.

well, when the Mafia is involved, infiltrating the Church along w/ other nefarious Mafia-like groups... What can we expect?
Notice how JP I was not made a saint, yet others in th modern age were! He likely knew that someone was out to get him.. and yet he was going to go through w/ his removals anyway
he is a martyr in my opinion. 

Back to Ayn Rand...

Many people are unaware of her social positions and only support her ideas to reform the economy.

p.s.  I would discourage anyone from reading Atlas Shrugged as it has quite lengthy and explicit pornographic sections.

just another Jєωιѕн degenerate

Really?  From what I understand he's well on his way to being Canonized, but for the miracle... 

"He was declared a Servant of God by his successor, John Paul II, on 23 November 2003, the first step on the road to sainthood. Pope Francis confirmed his heroic virtue on 8 November 2017 and named him as Venerable."

"For Luciani to be beatified, the investigators have to certify at least one miracle attributed to his intercession. For canonisation there must be a second miracle, though the reigning pope may waive these requirements altogether, as is often done in the case of beatified popes.
It was reported in 2016 that a potential miracle attributed to the late pontiff's intercession occurred in to a nun in Buenos Aires in Argentina."

"The journalist and vice-postulator for Luciani's cause of canonization, Stefania Falasca, published a new book in 2017 titled Pope Luciani, Chronicle of a Death, in which she revealed that John Paul I had complained of chest pains hours before his death, and the evening before, but paid no attention to it and ordered that his doctor not be called to examine the pope.[47] Falasca confirmed that, after interviewing the nuns who found him and docuмents from the Vatican Secret Archives, Luciani died of a heart attack in late evening hours of 28 September."
