THE POPE, THE JESUITS, AND THE OCCUPY WALLSTREET PROTESTS

In the midst of the global financial calamity, the Pope has announced a "solution" via a global authority and a centralized banking system. Below are a few links covering this most recent move by the Vatican and the Jesuit's guiding hand.

I am under the impression - it is implicitly psychologically suggestive of his use of the Scripture about "thunder" - that Chris is someone who has grown up wanting to simply make a lot of noise to be noticed by others, and so he has found a way to do it by making a living attacking Catholicism by reading a lot of UNPROVEN nonsense INTO history. He can't seem to even see that the NPR article where Pope Benedict advocates - basically - fairness in the "stewardship" of financial resources (that's what it all boils down to, anyway) reflects that the Pope's ("Rome's") real "mistake" is perhaps, at worst, a naive expectation of or unrealistic anticipation of "light from darkness", of justice coming from people whose nature cannot provide it, or at best, the poor man is a person of good will, but he expects too much... he is at best "a voice in the wilderness saying 'make distinctive the way of the Lord'" and no one is listening... and those words are not bad but that - your reaction, Christ, is not good, and you are not listening with your heart either, Chris... and what a shame, your name consisting of most of the letters of the name of Christ, my Lord and Savior!
