Tradcast Express, it's Friday, February 17th, 2017.
Folks, you just can't make it up.
Today, Francis said we need to stop insulting each other and stop talking so much.
Yes, the guy whose jaw has been moving nonstop for the last four years almost and who wastes no opportunity to deride his very own people with various creative epithets from his daily bully pulpit, today he suggests that we talk less and listen more and stop throwing insults at each other.
He said this during a visit to a university in Rome where he spoke for 45 minutes off the cuff answering questions from students.
Let me quote real quick from the news story released by Reuters today, written by Philip Pulella.
Quote, politicians should lower the volume of their debates and stop insulting each other, Pope Francis said on Friday, adding that leaders should be open to dialogue with perceived enemies or risk sowing the seeds of war.
Insulting has become normal, he said in a 45-minute long improvised talk to university students in Rome.
We need to lower the volume.
We need to lower the volume a bit and we need to talk less and listen more, unquote.
Folks, the hypocrisy of this man is unbelievable.
And don't think that that's the only example, not by far.
I mean, Francis is the guy that always condemns excluding people, right?
And he stands up for the marginalized and welcomes the peripheries and all that.
And then he sends his most vocal critic to the island of Guam.
Yeah.
Did you hear about that?
Just the other day, Francis sent Cardinal, quote, unquote, Raymond Burke to the island of Guam on an important mission.
He's supposed to be a judge of the first instance in some abuse trial.
So Francis takes someone who until two years or so ago was a judge on the highest court in the Vatican and sends him to Guam.
Do you know where Guam is?
Guam is a teeny tiny speck.
In the Pacific Ocean, from Los Angeles, about twice the distance to Hawaii.
It's right in the middle between Japan and Papua New Guinea.
Guam is an island of 210 square miles.
That's roughly 540 square kilometers.
The population of the entire country is 160,000.
So Burke has been shipped off to Guam.
I think everyone got the message here.
So much for not marginalizing people.
Folks, if hypocrisy could make people fat, you would need a motorcycle to get around Francis.
Anyway, to get back to his address to university students, Francis also said today that where there is no dialogue, there is violence and war.
Quote,
Dialogue draws near, not only to the person, but hearts.
It makes friendship.
It makes social friendship.
Unquote.
Look, I don't know about you, but I know some people where the best way to keep peace is not to talk to them.
Do you know people like that?
So, in any case, this is just the usual Bergolian claptrap, and it's naturalist.
Okay?
It's not Catholic.
Contrast that, for example, with Pope Pius XI, okay, to see the difference.
Francis always keeps it on the level of the natural.
Wars start because we don't talk to each other.
We don't have open hearts.
Blah, blah, blah.
Now, here's what Pope Pius XI wrote in his encyclical Quas Primus in 1925, referring back to his earlier encyclical, Ubi Arcano, of 1922.
Quote,
We refer to the chief causes of the difficulties under which mankind was laboring.
And we remember saying that these manifold evils in the world were due to the fact that the majority of men had thrust Jesus Christ and his holy law out of their lives.
That these had no place either in private affairs or in politics.
And we said further that as long as individuals and states
refused to submit to the rule of our Savior,
there would be no really hopeful prospect of a lasting peace among nations.
Men must look for the peace of Christ in the kingdom of Christ.
And that we promised to do as far as lay in our power.
In the kingdom of Christ, that is, it seemed to us that peace could not be more effectually restored nor fixed upon a firmer basis
than through the peace of God.
Than through the restoration of the empire of our Lord.
We were led in the meantime to indulge the hope of a brighter future
at the sight of a more widespread and keener interest evinced in Christ and his church.
The one source of salvation.
A sign that men who had formerly spurned the rule of our Redeemer
and had exiled themselves from his kingdom were preparing and even hastening to return to the duty of obedience.
Unquote.
That was beautiful.
That was paragraph one of Pope Pius XI's encyclical Quas Primus 1925.
See, this is the difference between a real Catholic pope who teaches the doctrine of Jesus Christ
versus the drivel of the false Pope Francis and his Novus Ordo predecessors
who preach naturalist Freemasonic doctrine instead.
You know, dialogue.
Blog and fraternity and all that stuff.
The true Catholic teaching, on the other hand, is that true peace,
not as the world gives, but only as Christ can give.
This true peace will only be brought to this world
if the nations submit to the sweet yoke of the gospel.
Now, you might say, oh, but I don't agree with that.
But you know what?
That's not even the primary point here.
The primary point is that.
That is what the Catholic teaching is, and it is not what Francis is preaching.
