Predator Priests in Pennsylvania: Not as Important as OMG-orosa

Nobody Wonders

If this just happened in Pennsylvania, how many times has it happened in all the other states?

I confesses: I’ve never been particularly fond of the Catholic Church. The idea of a “Pope” who is treated as a saint, above all others, is everything that is never discussed in the Bible. I’ve read the Bible three times: I don’t remember a “Pope” even being mentioned.

Nowhere in the Bible did Jesus say: “And there will be a man who will be worshipped above all others.”

Historically speaking, the Catholic Church has been just as corrupt as ANY corrupt government you can think of.

I know…I know…you hear the usual rebuttal: But think of all the GOOD they do! And there is a lot….BUT….

Like most countries: you can have great people— but if the leaders are corrupt, it’s never a good thing.

Let’s face it: The leaders of the Catholic Church have been putting up with pedophilia in their priests, for God only knows HOW long. Hiding it from the world. Like Hillary Clinton, they are somehow, always beyond being charged with their crimes.

It always seemed to me for years that the Catholic Church had struck a deal with some of the most powerful men in Western government. With the hierarchy of Popes, Bishops, and Cardinals, you can say that the whole Catholic administration is set up much like any other government. King at the top, and ministers at the bottom.

Many priests are good, but…way too many of them do terrible damage to the innocent children and commit crimes they should be in jail for.

But they don’t go to jail, so they? Because the church protects them.

The news today that 301 priests, clergy and lay teachers were found guilty of sexual abuse is no surprise. All over the state of Pennsylvania, and over 1,000 victims.

If you like to molest little boys and little girls, what better place to hide your crimes than to become a priest of the Catholic Church?

There were 99 found in the Diocese of Pittsburgh alone.

Parent trusted these men.

Nobody Wonders why the Catholic Church has gotten by with protecting child molesters for as long as they have. Why don’t governments go in and GET these guys?

This Nobody thinks: it all comes down to money.

Some of the most powerful men in the world have their money in the Vatican Bank. where it is protected from all eyes. In return, the church protects their assets, and this protection goes on forever. The Bush family has a lot of their money in the Vatican Bank….do you really think they are the only ones?

I think if you lifted up Pope Francis’ skirt you would find: The Deep State of global gold.

There is nothing wrong with the innocent Catholic people. There is nothing wrong with the beautiful churches, or even the traditional services.

But…there is nothing but greed and corruption at the top.

I pity the poor Christians all over the world…who believe that the meek shall inherit the earth. Their priests tell them this.

The question is: Just when will this happen?

And that’s a question only Jesus could answer. In the meantime, they are once again being slaughtered and persecuted in many countries. Why is the Pope not crying out about this?

What would Jesus do?

I know what I would do: If you molest a child, you lose your main weapon…

Pretty simple. And that common sense justice suggestion IS in the Bible.

A Bible, which the Pope obviously thinks is ‘outdated.’

Two Popes, Now..How About Those Miracles?

Nobody’s Opinion

It’s must be nice to be the head honcho: If you are not Catholic, you might have missed what happened Sunday:Popes canonization

VATICAN CITY (AP) – Two 20th-century popes who changed the course of the Catholic Church became saints Sunday as Pope Francis honored John XXIII and John Paul II in a delicate balancing act aimed at bringing together the conservative and progressive wings of the church.

Well, uh..is it me? Wasn’t that a bit…fast? Usually the ‘saints’ are long dead before they can be sainted—But hey! This is a NEW pope, and like Obama, he probably thought to himself, “YES I CAN!”

Only one miracle is needed in order to be beatified, or to be allowed for veneration in the fallen’s homeland. Two are needed for canonization. But again, usual protocol has been abandoned for the double canonization on Sunday. Current Pope Francis has waived the need for a second miracle, allowing for Pope John XXIII to be canonized even after one miracle has been proven.

I want to apologize to any Catholic, but I’m sorry— I think canonizing two past popes as saints is no different that if an American President had given Metals of Honors to two past Presidents.

Obama gave the Metal of Honor to both Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush. Popes, Presidents, I’m sorry. It’s a bit much. I guess Hillary will just have to wait to give one to the other Bush’s.

While you can say that popes deserve honors much more than Presidents, (and I will agree), call it the American in me, but I think it smacks of Kings worship, Queen Worship, and I don’t think men of GOD should be worshipped. But that’s me.

And speaking of Kings and Queens, there were Kings and Queens there to witness the occasion. Even Zimbabwean President Mugabe was there. (I’m wondering if Newt Gingrich said hello.) Newt said this:

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said the canonization was “extraordinary,” noting it was a day of four popes including Benedict XVI. He said there was “no question” that the “core message” of both popes is that “every human being has a basic dignity and that dignity has to be respected, including the right to religious liberty.”

I’m not sure how to take that, are you? Is this a subliminal message to the Jews? Or to Hobby Lobby? And how about all the Catholic democratic politicians that have pushed abortion on the whole world? Okay, every human being has a basic dignity, unless of course, you are aborted. And the Muslims have a right to believe that only ISLAM is the true religion, and infidels should be killed?

Bill Clinton

To me, the biggest hypocrisy, is when these leaders AND Popes talk every single day about equality, and yet, consider themselves to be MORE equal than every other person on the planet. And forgiveness is for the asking. You pushed abortion, Nancy? No problem–the Pope doesn’t judge you.

Tell me, that’s not hypocritical.

Okay Joyanna, Chill, It’s pomp, its circumstance, the masses love it, so get real. Ease up. It’s a GOOD thing. It’s all about love and faith. To millions, it is.

But to the odd man out like me, it’s just not pure enough.

And while you think I’m being a bit harsh, ask yourself: What would Jesus think of all the pomp and circumstance of this celebration put on by the ….bankers?

An oil and gas giant, several banks and Switzerland-based food megacorp Nestle are among more than a dozen financial backers of the Rome event. The Catholic Church sits upon enormous assets – the Vatican Bank manages $8 billion worth of worldwide investments as well as 33,000 accounts for clergy and parishes – but its governing body, the Holy See, made a loss of $18.4 million in 2011.Jesus

Gee.. they only lost $18.4 million?

Jesus said:

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven”

Tell me, which one of these men are poor in spirit? They might be holy men, they might be truly gods most humble servants, but so are millions of others sleeping somewhere in the dark. .

I guess the old Martin Luther still knocks in my head  I still see the simple church, the simple congregation, the simple preacher, who can’t saint anyone but some soldier at his funeral.

Having said all that, like any human being, I am in awe of the sheer beauty and the artistry of the whole spectacle, one of the greatest shows ever put on earth….but….

Tonight, I feel John Adams words ringing in my heart:John Adams weary
