And judge brutally, without relenting. \u00a0If you are middle class or higher in the Democratic West, you suck. \u00a0Really. \u00a0Pope Francis repeatedly has made it clear that the last 2000 years of Christianity has got to go and we need to be right back to Acts chapter 2. \u00a0Anything else and it\u2019s the disgrace we are. \u00a0In his latest<\/a>, he has made it clear that this war we are in is a war, and someone is guilty. \u00a0It\u2019s most likely those of us who plan on celebrating Christmas. \u00a0The whole Christmas season. \u00a0Oh please don\u2019t ask me why, I\u2019m sure I don\u2019t know the reason.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But once again, Pope Francis goes to the world and proclaims that Christians, especially those in the West, are everything all the critics and haters have said they are. \u00a0They suck. \u00a0They\u2019re worthless and weak, complete with pledge pins on their uniforms. \u00a0Just like the Democratic, capitalist West they are part of. The poor are off the hook. \u00a0Those who indulge in the sins of the Left? \u00a0Why, that\u2019s when the judging comes to a screeching halt. \u00a0But if you struggle to have a middle class family and enjoy a little celebration in Christmas? \u00a0Why, you\u2019re everything the foes of the Faith say you are. \u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I sometimes wonder if this is why so many on the blogosphere use the Pope as nothing more than a Francis shaped cudgel with which to bludgeon other Catholics who aren\u2019t as awesome as they are. \u00a0If they really listened to what Francis said, they\u2019d be selling everything, giving it to the poor, and living in poverty and starvation. \u00a0Anything less, and no matter how many other Catholics they accuse, the fact remains they are the disgraces to the Gospel they imagine everyone else to be.\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
