Is The Pope Catholic?  

"The highest duty is to respect authority."

— Pope Leo XIII


Who is it, exactly, who enjoys controlling the thinking, behavior, and lives of a billion other people on earth? Who is this self-appointed authority who is believed by his captive audience to be the only person on earth who is capable of talking to or communing with God? Aren't we each capable of standing in the Divine? Are we willing to step out of a controlling system of dogma and infallibility — the relentless, unconscionable denial of any wrongdoing — and become more responsible for our own lives, on all levels, but especially spiritually? After all, claiming infallibility for thousands of years, and denying countless murderous evils perpetrated by the Church in the name of God, is not the moral high ground that it pretends to be.

There used to be a saying to denote when something was certainly true: "Is the Pope Catholic?" — the answer being, inevitably and infallibly, "Yes." Unfortunately, the question could better be phrased, "Is the Pope perpetuating wrong and defending evil?" — the answer being, almost invariably, "Yes."

At the end of World War II, the Vatican did everything it could to protect Nazi war criminals from being found, arrested, or prosecuted; instead, it gave them false papers and passage to safe havens. To this day, the Vatican does all it can to protect evil and suppress Truth. After the latest wave of child abuse scandals, this is what came out of the highest level meetings in Rome: first and foremost, the Church objected to the term "pedophilia" since, they asserted, these were not young children who were abused. Second: the Church would do everything it could to prevent sex abuse scandals — not the actual sex abuse and rape of our children, but rather the publicity that follows the exposure of such evilness, the scandal. And third: they would not under any circumstance adopt a "zero-tolerance" policy toward priests who have a history of abusing our children. In other words, they want sexual predators to remain among the church-going "faithful." This is, without any doubt, evidence that the Church would rather protect its own false reputation of infallibility, righteousness, and spiritual superiority, instead of its "sheep." By now, you should be able to recognize this as total denial. You have to ask yourself, why this denial of, defense of, and perpetuation of evil? Who or what are they protecting? Certainly our children are the least of their concerns, as the Church has made sure sexual predators have rotated from parish to parish to abuse children, sometimes by the hundreds, over many, many decades — knowing full well what they were doing. What are they thinking? Apparently, the Church believes in providing a safe haven for Evil, instead of accountability to God.    read more ...
