It is well past time for the Vatican to yank Pope Francis from the classroom of Obama the Professor and to force him back into the Classroom of Christ, the Classroom of Saving Souls

Vatican rewriting American Founding Father History



In an upside-down world where revisionists get to do the rewriting of history and truth, it seems that the ‘Star Pupil’ in the wicked classroom of President Barack Obama is none other than Pope Francis.
This is the worldwide image of Pope Francis over the Internet. And if that image is the wrong one, then neither the Pope nor the Vatican is doing anything to try to change it. Something more than passing strange given that Obama is the world’s chief champion of abortion, including partial birth abortion. Obama and Pope Francis, currently the world’s two biggest pushers of social justice, the professor and his star-struck student are throwing in on climate change replacing commonsense and science with propaganda. Well along the path of turning the world green with guilt, the Pope is now awarding Founding Father status on the late Father Junipero Serra. It should make no difference that Father Serra is the controversial California mission founder destined to become America’s first Latino saint later this year. Claiming any saint as a Founding Father is an outrageous deceit.

“Addressing an audience that included many American priests, including Los Angeles Archbishop Jose H. Gomez, the pope referred to the 18th century Franciscan priest as “one of the founding fathers of the United States” and praised his willingness to abandon the comforts and privileges of his native Spain to spread the Christian message in the New World. (Los Angeles Times, May 2, 2015)
“I wonder if today we are able to respond with the same generosity and courage to the call of God,” Francis said during a homily at Rome’s American seminary, the Pontifical North American College.”
Some Vatican scholar must have pounced on a Los Angeles Time’s error because the Times added this correction to their original story: “FOR THE RECORD: A previous version of this post said that Serra is set to become the first Latino saint. He will be America's first Latino saint. For the record, it’s well past time for the Vatican to be shown the error of its ways. Some of us among the faithful can’t help but wonder if Pope Francis has noticed that Obama, the Professor, is the one leading a drive where responding “with the same generosity and courage to the call of God”, is no longer tolerated and even frowned upon. Rome is a long distance away from Washington, D.C. but surely some cardinals at the Vatican must be aware that their prelate is awarding the status of “founding father” on a saint at the same time that Obama is demonizing the real founding fathers who birthed America, and any patriots who revere them. If the truth still matters to the Vatican, Father Junipero Serra may be a saint--but he was definitely never a Founding Father. Father Serra never rubbed shoulders with Thomas Jefferson or Benjamin Franklin and for certain he never walked or rode a horse to Philadelphia. And to infer that that he did is nothing but a monstrous lie.
“Francis will formally declare Serra a saint in September during the Washington, D.C., leg of his first visit to the United States. Although the Vatican has canonized Americans before, Serra will be the first saint canonized on U.S. soil. (Los Angeles Times) “In California, Serra has been criticized by native American activists for his role in a Spanish colonial system that mistreated and displaced indigenous people, and some have accused him of forcing people to convert to Catholicism. The state Senate voted last month to replace a statue of Serra in the U.S. Capitol with astronaut Sally Ride.
We don’t know whether the State Senate voting to replace a statue of Serra in the U.S. Capitol with astronaut Sally Ride is over the top, but we do know that there is no record of Sally Ride ever trying to steal Founding Father status. It is well past time for the Vatican to yank Pope Francis from the classroom of Obama the Professor and to force him back into the Classroom of Christ, the Classroom of Saving Souls. Amen.
