Rush Calls The Pope A "Marxist Whore"!




Well, not actually quite that.
I am trying to emulate Rpert Murdoch's British tabloids with their emphasis on excitement and de-emphasis on veracity.

However, the radio brobdingnagian (or "giant", if you must) has called out Francis I:

Radio giant [or  brobdingnagian] Rush Limbaugh is scorching the leader of the Roman Catholic Church for criticizing unfettered capitalism, saying, “This is just pure Marxism coming out of the mouth of the pope.”

“You know the pope, Pope Francis has issued an official papal proclamation, and it’s sad,” Limbaugh said on his national broadcast Wednesday. “It’s actually unbelievable. It’s sad because this pope makes it very clear he doesn’t know what he’s talking about when it comes to capitalism and socialism and so forth.”

“I’m not Catholic,” Limbaugh added, “but up until this I admired the man.” ...

Everybody has their own form of worship. Rush has an economic deity. It is somewhat better than a golden calf, and far be it from me to criticize his belief-system.

Let me just point out that many years ago, I had begun a slow reconciliation with the Roman Catholic Church. My reason was that I intuited that the coming future was going to be a time of troubles, and I wanted to have a big organization on my side.
I'm quite serious about that statement.
And, surprise of surprises, just as the crisis is almost here (according to my intuitions around 2016 or thereabouts), here is a Pope who is a man of the common people, one who does not believe in trickle-down anything, economics nor God's grace, for just as grace flows to all men, so should the flow of wealth not be dammed nor impeded by constraints.



Now isn't that a coincidence!

A radio host by his very nature is more of a moral quisling than a support in times of stress and suffering.
Sorry. That's how I see it.

PS.

Just after the above excerpt, there is a line in the original:
Is Pope Francis the last pope to hold office before Jesus returns to Earth? See the DVD that has the Christian world abuzz.
and it appears to be an advertisement for something.
However, the juxtaposition of it next to the essay caused a momentary conflict as to whether there was some sort of contest in the article to make one odd-ball statement, then top it with another.

But it seems to be an advertisement.
What would Christians do without End-of-Times imagery? They would be quite at a loss to describe their discontents.
Everything becomes:
"I'm mad as heck! People are fools! There's volcanoes and floods and wars. It's the end of the world!"

Even the venerable elder Billy Graham is doing it. Reverend Camping has been doing it for years, honing his talents at prediction by issuing many false end-of-times warnings.

Just say you are not satisfied, and then work to make it better. Forget your self-centered arrogance which can only conceive of the Second Coming with you either in the front row seat alive, or raptured off to some heavenly realm while the wheat and chaff are threshed and harrowed.

Do not presume to know the mind of God.
