Pope appears to back anti-Trump protests in letter condemning populism
‘He offered praise to the activists who are organizing in opposition to those threats. “I know that you have committed yourselves to fight for social justice, to defend our Sister Mother Earth and to stand alongside migrants. I want to reaffirm your choice,” he wrote.’ Continued below
Let’s review:
- Widely admired as the “mostest, humblest, kindest” person currently residing on this little planet
- While reveling in the rock star status the “humble” pope enjoys as the darling of the global left, he has established himself as one who has opinions on everything and never fails to express them
- Often offensive to a significant number of people throughout the world the Pontiff’s remarks, almost always in support of any or most radical left or Marxist ideas, Francis is followed around by a cadre of p.r. specialists, always on hand to “clarify” his more “intemperate” or “mis-translated” analyses.
- Some of his Holiness’ openly expressed positions:
– capitalism is bad; USA responsible for the plight of South American poverty
– man is destroying the planet by causing global warming in many ways, including his inexplicable affection for air conditioning (see encyclical “Laudato Si”)
– national borders are bad…migrants are good…not sure if concept of private property is good
- Pope Francis seems to seek out and accept counsel only from leftwing activists (only climate change radicals allowed to attend Vatican conference)
- Seems to have warm relationships only with South American dictators; Castros grateful for his help reference Obama’s total capitulation
- Seems to believe redistribution of wealth is an ideal
- Has been critical of Catholic opponents of gay marriage and abortion as “obsessive”
From the article: Seriously “…defend our ‘Sister Mother Earth”?? Is that some sort of latent animism or manichæism?
What about our Aunt, Niece, Daughter, Grandmother Earth?? What Francis’s problem…”anti-certain women”? Continued below graphic*:
The remarks can be viewed as a clear endorsement by the Argentinian pope of resistance against populist and xenophobic political movements. While he did not name Donald Trump, and stressed his remarks were not targeted at any individual politician, the letter, read at the opening of the US Regional World Meeting of Popular Movements in Modesto, California, seem to speak directly to protests against the Republican president.

The Pope seems to have no concern about division, or ecumenism when it it comes to conservatism. He comes off as *schismatic if not heretical to the “body of the faith”, in our humble opinion of course.

* the wall, gate and vetting (metal detectors) is of course true of the Vatican. This article downplays them while admitting to them.
