“That emphasis is why he’s had such incredible appeal, including to young people all around the world, and I hope it’s a message everyone receives when he comes to visit,” Obama said Tuesday, referring to the pope’s September visit to the United States.”"In particular," Obama said, "I want to thank His Holiness Pope Francis, whose moral example shows us the importance of pursuing the world as it should be, rather than simply settling for the world as it is." (KRCR News, April 22, 2015) If the Pope were American he’d never be singled out for that kind of praise from Obama. Since circa 2009, it’s been a mortal sin to be American.
“Well I’ve said publicly in the last year, I was raised in the Southern Baptist tradition, I could become a Catholic because of this Pope,” Gore said. “He is that inspiring to me. And I know the vast majority of my Catholic friends are just thrilled to the marrow of their bones that he is providing this kind of spiritual leadership.”Billions of Hail Marys will be in order to save Gore from his exaggerations and convenient lies. If Al Gore could give up red meat to kowtow to the vegans, going Catholic should a piece of cake. Now it’s Cuban dictator Raul Castro, who likely in gratitude for Pope Francis joining Obama in ditching the 50-year-old U.S./Cuba embargo, hints he’s thinking of returning to his Catholic faith. “Cuban President Raul Castro on Sunday thanked Pope Francis for brokering the thaw between Havana and Washington and said the Pope so impressed him that he might return to the Church, despite being a communist.(USAToday, May 10, 2015)
“The 83-year-old younger brother of Cuba's revolutionary leader Fidel spoke with the pope for nearly an hour - unusually long for a papal meeting — during a visit the Vatican said was strictly private and not a state visit. “Papal audiences on Sundays are extremely rare. Francis made an exception when Castro asked if he could stop in Rome on his way back from Moscow to thank Francis for the Vatican's mediation between the United States and Cuba, Cuban officials said. “Later, at a news conference with Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, Castro said he came out of the meeting with the Pope "really impressed by his wisdom and his modesty."Funny how quickly political leaders fall in love with public figures who they believe are giving them their way. Will the pope declare Obama, Gore and Castro as God’s own angels? Why not? He has just declared Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas an “angel of peace”. (Heaven help us!) “Pope Francis praised Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas as an "angel of peace" during a meeting Saturday at the Vatican that underscored the Holy See's warm relations with the Palestinians as it prepares to canonize two 19th-century nuns from the region.(Huffington Post, May 16, 2015)
“Francis made the compliment during the traditional exchange of gifts at the end of an official audience in the Apostolic Palace. He presented Abbas with a medallion, explaining that it represented the "angel of peace destroying the bad spirit of war."Francis said he thought the gift was appropriate since "you are an angel of peace." Declaring members of the Fatah' angels of peace will go a long way in gilding the lie that Islam is a “religion of peace”. Having watched the horrors of continuing violent Christian persecution, including the 21 Coptic Christians beheaded on a Libyan beach the Pope called “martyrs”, how can he possibly call Abbas an “angel of peace”? We should all pray that the Creator sends the real angel, St. Michael the Archangel to fight off the insanity life on Earth has become. Meanwhile, Earth to Pope Francis: It’s not declarations of angel hood or your sanction that the leaders of radical Islam want--it’s your own and all other Christian heads.
