Pontiff’s Suggested Quick Fix Leaves God Out Of The Picture

The leader of the Catholic Church, so sadly more politician than pontiff

“He also praised the protest movement that followed the murder of George Floyd. “In a powerful 38-minute video talk to representatives of these movements on all continents that is sure to spark discussion, Pope Francis renewed his call for a universal basic income and advocated the shortening of the working day as partial solutions to the economic crisis so many millions are experiencing.

How about a much-needed, merciful Quick Fix for the millions of babies killed yearly in their mothers’ wombs?

“He also made specific appeals “in the name of God” to those responsible for key sectors of today’s world economy, especially in this time of pandemic: the pharmaceutical and food industries; the financial and credit institutions; the tech and telecommunications giants; the arms industry, as well as powerful countries, governments and politicians of all parties.”

“As a way to address the dire economic straits of so many people in the world and guarantee basic human dignity, and after consulting many specialists in the field, Francis called for “a basic income or salary so that everyone in the world may have access to the most basic necessities of life.” (American Magazine) “It is right to fight for a humane distribution of these resources, and it is up to governments to establish tax and redistribution schemes so that the wealth of one part of society is shared fairly, but without imposing an unbearable burden, especially upon the middle class,” the pope said. “The minimum income is one [way to improve people’s situation] situation], the reduction of the working day is another possibility, and one that needs seriously to be explored,” he said. He recalled that in the 19th century, workers labored 12, 14 and 16 hours a day. When they achieved the eight-hour workday, nothing collapsed, contrary to what some sectors had predicted. “I insist, working fewer hours so that more people can have access to the labor market is something we need to explore with some urgency,” he said.”

But there are no jobs when governments are killing them off via Lockdowns and mandatory vaccinations and vaccine mandates

“Pope Francis said, “I believe these measures are necessary, but of course not sufficient…but I wanted to mention them because they are possible measures and would point us in the right direction.” (American Magazine)

“The global audience for today’s address represents millions of social activists of grassroots movements on all continents, including those working in the gig economy, garbage pickers, farmworkers and representatives of the indigenous peoples. (American Magazine) “In another part of his talk, he commended the protest movement over the death of George Floyd: “Do you know what comes to mind now when, together with popular movements, I think of the Good Samaritan? Do you know what comes to mind? The protests over the death of George Floyd. It is clear that this type of reaction against social, racial or macho injustice can be manipulated or exploited by political machinations or whatever, but the main thing is that, in that protest against this death, there was the Collective Samaritan who is no fool! This movement did not pass by on the other side of the road when it saw the injury to human dignity caused by an abuse of power. The popular movements are not only social poets but also collective Samaritans.”

Improving the lives of millions of people who live in poverty and misery, isn’t that what pontiffs are supposed to do without taking credit for it?

“Throughout his pontificate, Francis has sought to encourage grassroots movements and organizations worldwide in their efforts to improve the lives of millions of people who live in poverty and misery.” (American Magazine)

“In his talk, Francis issued nine explicit calls “in the name of God” to those responsible for different sectors of the world’s economy. (American Magazine) “He asked “the great pharmaceutical laboratories to release the patents” of the Covid-19 vaccines. He appealed to them: “Make a gesture of humanity and allow every country, every people, every human being, to have access to the vaccines.” He reminded them that there are countries “where only three or four percent of the inhabitants have been vaccinated.” Though he did not mention it, most countries in Africa fall into this category. “He called on the great food corporations “to stop imposing monopolistic systems of production and distribution that inflate prices and end up withholding bread from the hungry.” He highlighted “the scourge of the food crisis” in the world and noted that in this year alone “20 million people have been dragged down to extreme level of food insecurity” while “severe destitution has increased” and “the price of food has risen sharply.” “He pleaded with “the technology giants to stop exploiting human weakness, people’s vulnerability, for the sake of profits without caring about the spread of hate speech, grooming, fake news, conspiracy theories, and political manipulation.”

But the “new economy” dreamed of by world globalists is a godless, socialist one

“He appealed to powerful countries “to stop aggression, blockades and unilateral sanctions against any country anywhere on earth” and said, “No to neo-colonialism.” He called for the resolution of conflicts to be done in multilateral fora like the United Nations. “Francis also emphasized that “it is necessary to confront together the populist discourses of intolerance, xenophobia and aporophobia, which is hatred of the poor.” He said that, “Like everything that leads us to indifference, meritocracy and individualism, these narratives only serve to divide our peoples and to undermine and nullify our poetic capacity, the capacity to dream together. “He concluded by urging the popular movements to continue their efforts to build a new economy and “to dream” of new ways of doing this.”
