Cool artifacts not people
With great respect for those revered “social justice” advocates, it is clearly time for His Excellency, Bishop Amos, the widely acclaimed Davenport Catholic Messenger, the pastors of the Quad Cities area, and those committed “social justice” activists in this community to call for Catholics to immediately “live” the Gospel as interpreted for us by Pope Francis and the much admired Saul Alinsky, a past honoree of the greatly respected local Catholic “peace and social justice” organization Pacem in Terris.
– Parishes should immediately stop accepting the “devil’s dung” in the Sunday collection. Bishop Amos must urge pastors to refuse the satanic excrement earned from capitalist endeavors. Social justice advocates must insist that parishes accept only the freely given donations from artisans, ragpickers, corn/ethanol producing farmers, as well as the mandatory dues from non-union workers in non-right-to-work states.
– Bishop Amos should take the lead among his fellow bishops and follow the beliefs of Pope Francis as they were articulated in his encyclical, Laudato Si”. To paraphrase a former American president, “Bishop Amos, tear down those air conditioners in Davenport catholic churches!” It would seem to be His Excellency’s moral responsibility to order pastors to not run air conditioning in either daily or Sat/Sun masses…the damage done to our “sister”, Mother Earth, by these diabolical systems must be halted now!
from the Pope’s encyclical, “Laudato Si”
“People may well have a growing ecological sensitivity but it has not succeeded in changing their harmful habits of consumption which, rather than decreasing, appear to be growing all the more. A simple example is the increasing use and power of air-conditioning. The markets, which immediately benefit from sales, stimulate ever greater demand. An outsider looking at our world would be amazed at such behaviour, which at times appears self-destructive.”
PS — Veritaspac.com announces new line of church fans. No representation is made as to the orthodoxy of the devices. Trees and hydrocarbons were used up in the manufacture, for which we apologize as necessary in the defense of the common good, well personal good on a collective basis or something. It is all so confusing — we need a theologian like Pope Francis to figure this out. More reading from Michelle Malkin: Cool the artwork, but people can suffer.
