There are many problems
with this definition. The most glaring is the fact that “personal
responsibility” does not seem to be a variable. Another problem is the fact
that, to quote Dr. Savage, “Without quality there can be no equality.” Thirdly,
this much touted and failed diversity/multiculturalism is causing severe
problems in the west as the advancing hordes of Muslim “refugees” are causing massacres,
chaos, and destruction in Paris and in Europe, soon to emerge in the U.S.
Not all people share a
common humanity, some are quite barbaric. Western societies have built a
civilization based on huge libraries of knowledge whereas theocracies like
Islam base their entire existence on one book to the exclusion of all else. Additionally,
allocating community resources fairly from an economic stand point is logistically
impossible unless governments steal from one group or persons and give to others.
From Pope Pius XII, the
much beloved, anti-communist and anti-Nazi Pope, to the current overtly
socialist Pope Francis, the 266th pontiff of the Catholic Church, the
church has undergone transformational changes. These changes are influencing
the politics of the globe and shifting the role of the papacy from caring for
the souls of parishioners to promoting global socialism through redistribution
of wealth, social justice, and submission to the politics of the climate change
industry.
In his 224-page document, “The
Joy of the Gospel” (Evangelii Gaudium),
Pope Francis criticized the following. http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/apost_exhortations/documents/papa-francesco_esortazione-ap_20131124_evangelii-gaudium.html
-
The current capitalist inequalities
Do
progressives, who criticize capitalism as evil, understand that socialism and
communism were never equal, inclusive, kind to the people, and fair? There were
two classes, the haves, composed of communist party apparatchiks, and the
have-nots, composed of the proletariat.
-
“The idolatry of money”
Who
pays for the salaries of priests and the maintenance of churches around the
world for its 1.5 billion Catholics? Do they work for free? Do they not “idolize”
money in order to survive? The Holy See is quite flush with cash and wealthy
beyond belief if you consider thousands of priceless works of art, marble
statues, gold and silver icons, urns, crucifixes, chalices, and marble cathedrals
around the world. Should they not follow their own direction and distribute all
this vast wealth to the poor?
-
“The inequality that spawns violence”
Have
liberals and other assorted followers not understood that violence and wars
around the world were borne not only by real or perceived economic inequalities
but by religion, land disputes, drug cartels, plundering, natural resources
such as oil, gold, coal, diamonds, silver, and insatiable lust for power and
control?
How
exactly does the millennial Islamic violence and wars, driven by the quest to
kill the “infidels” and to install a world-wide Caliphate, figure out into this
half-baked inequality theory? Schools have successfully indoctrinated
generations of students who do not know that the Crusades were responses to Arab
aggression and Islamic occupation of Europe.
-
“Trickle-down economics” as a theory that “expresses a crude and naïve trust
in the goodness of those wielding economic power.”
The Washington Post
immediately included the papal criticism in its editorial and pointed out that
Democrats and liberals have rejected the “trickle-down economics” theory and
used the phrase derisively to define it. http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/pope-francis-denounces-trickle-down-economic-theories-in-critique-of-inequality/2013/11/26/e17ffe4e-56b6-11e3-8304-caf30787c0a9_story.html
“The phrase has often been used derisively to
describe a popular version of conservative economic philosophy that argues that
allowing the wealthy to run their businesses unencumbered by regulation or
taxation bears economic benefits that lead to more jobs and income for the rest
of society. Liberals and Democratic officials have rejected the theory, saying
it is contradicted by economic evidence.”
As a matter of fact, trickle-down
theories, which “assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will
inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness in the
world,” have been proven correct.
There is a good reason why
the United States has done so well economically as opposed to centralized,
socialist, and communist countries where indescribable poverty is rampant while
the ruling, tyrannical elite live luxuriously. Even the poorest of the poor in
the United States live far better lives than the rest of the world because free
markets work despite heavy infusion of crony capitalism.
The Latin American Pope
from Buenos Aires lamented that masses are still waiting for “social justice.” We
have certainly spent trillions of dollars to no avail, in an effort to
eradicate the poverty supposedly driven by social injustice. After decades of
fighting the war on poverty and giving trillions around the globe and to our
own population, we have made little progress because we have created a
perennial welfare class that prefers to stay at home instead of being
productively working.
The welfare class has been
expanded with the addition of the multi-cultural illegal aliens brought in by
the open borders non-governmental organizations (NGOs) who benefit financially
from taking in as many illegals as possible, and the Muslim “refugees”
resettled from around the world in places where their Sharia Laws clash
violently with western civilization and are incompatible with our Constitution.
Never mind that
economically speaking poverty is a relative term and there is a difference
between wealth and income. But facts should not get in the way of the
progressive agenda pandering to the economically-illiterate voting base and to the
illegal immigrants invading U.S. and Europe who do not speak English and are
often illiterate in their own native languages.
Somehow, in the twisted
liberal logic, it is social justice to steal from the wealthy and the middle
class. These “rich” citizens have not
earned their wealth through hard work but have stolen their ill-gotten gains
from the poor and must therefore give it away to the downtrodden.
According to Gen. Pacepa,
the Soviet communist-led idea of “social justice” was infiltrated successfully by
the KGB into the Latin America’s Catholic Church as a religious movement called
“liberation theology.” The goal was to “incite Latin America’s poor to rebel
against the ‘institutionalized violence of poverty’ generated by the United
States.” (Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa, Disinformation,
Washington, D. C., WND Books, Inc., 2013, chapter 15, p. 106)
What kind of “social
justice” are the masses waiting for who are pining for socialism and communism?
They are waiting to vote again and again for the same individuals and the same socialist
or communist governments that brought them to the brink of poverty and kept
them perennially downtrodden. They are waiting for socialist governments to
give them welfare and free minimal health care through Castro clinics while
they stay home and procreate more dependents. They are waiting for the
redistribution of wealth from productive citizens. They are enslaved to their governments
who decide their daily lives yet it is the United States’ fault.
Does “inequality spawn violence?” Is the Pope’s
statement that “Authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed
to every form of violence” true? That is an interesting question to ponder in
light of the violence spawned around Europe by the Islamist “refugees” that is
creating chaos and destruction in many small towns in Germany, Croatia,
Hungary, Austria, and Sweden.
The following is an excerpt from
paragraph 253 of the papal document: …“We Christians should embrace with
affection and respect Muslim immigrants to our countries in the same way that
we hope and ask to be received and respected in countries of Islamic tradition.
I ask and I humbly entreat those countries to grant Christians freedom to
worship and to practice their faith, in light of the freedom which followers of
Islam enjoy in Western countries! Faced with disconcerting episodes of violent
fundamentalism, our respect for true followers of Islam should lead us to avoid
hateful generalisations, for authentic
Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of
violence.” http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/francesco/apost_exhortations/documents/papa-francesco_esortazione-ap_20131124_evangelii-gaudium_en.pdf
The Christian victims of
jihad violence in Egypt, Libya, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Syria carried out daily by
Muslims who use the Koran to explain the burning of churches and the killing of
innocents certainly contradict his Holiness. And the hundreds of dead and grievously
injured westerners in the Paris massacre are blatant and painful evidence to the
Islamist intolerance.
Based on prior history, we
know neither appeasement nor reverse psychology works; on the contrary, appeasement
creates war and more violence.
Robert Spencer explained that “The Bishop of Rome, by virtue of his
position as successor of St. Peter, can, according to Catholic teaching, speak
authoritatively about Catholic doctrine: he has the authority to delineate what
is authentic Catholicism. This, however, is a statement about "authentic
Islam." It would be interesting to know how he came to this conclusion,
since the Pope of Rome has no counterpart within the Islamic world: there is no
Muslim authority to which he can appeal in order to discover what ‘authentic
Islam’ consists of, and many Muslim authorities would disagree with his
statement that ‘authentic Islam’ is opposed to every form of violence." http://www.jihadwatch.org/2013/11/pope-francis-authentic-islam-and-the-proper-reading-of-the-koran-are-opposed-to-every-form-of-violen.html
Pope Pius XII saved many
Jews from pogroms. He was the voice of the Catholic Church to protest against
Hitler’s attack on the Jews, the Polish people, and on the prisoners in the
concentration camps.
He even used Castel
Gandolfo, the Pope’s summer home, to shelter thousands of refugees. In fact, “his personal bedroom was converted
into a nursery and birthing area, and about forty babies were born there during
the war.” The World Jewish Congress estimated that 860,000 Jews were saved by
the Catholic Church and the work of Pope Pius XII. (Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa, Disinformation, Washington, D.C., WND
Books, Inc., 2013, p. 66, as quoted from the testimony of P. Guglielmo Hentrich
before the Ecclesiastical Tribunal of Rome)
Would Pope Francis, with
his vast and powerful influence, succeed in “nudging” the global population into
the direction of global socialism with its “social justice,” complete
redistribution of wealth, and blind submission to the climate change industry
and to “Chrislam?”
