Lord Monckton's column ....

Per Warpmine:

"Wasn't quite sure where to put this so I leave it up to you. A  very well written piece regarding the Pope's attitude toward capitalism and government."

Also, in the last major sermon he preached before he became pope, he explicitly and roundly condemned the nations of the West for accumulating dangerous levels of national debt – a warning that has also been sounded regularly in this column.

And where does nearly all of that dangerous debt come from? It comes from the socialist State paying out too much of the taxpayers’ money as welfare.

One does not understand either the pope or the Church unless one understands that both celebrate not only the individualistic but also the communitarian in the human soul. If each man is an island, he is also part of the great archipelago that is the human race.

Rightly, the pope and the Church keep the balance between the two sides of the human character. To pick and choose between one side and the other is to commit heresy. When Hartmann grows up, perhaps he will come to understand that.

Yo, the Pope...

Matthew 25:14-30

New King James Version (NKJV) | The Parable of the Talents

14 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. 15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey. 16 Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents. 17 And likewise he who had received two gained two more also. 18 But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money. 19 After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them.

20 “So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’ 21 His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ 22 He also who had received two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.’ 23 His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’

24 “Then he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.’

26 “But his lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed. 27 So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. 28 Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.

29 ‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but of power & of love and of calm, a well-balanced mind, discipline and self-control.

Yo, the Pope 2...

Matthew 24:38-42

38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour[a] your Lord is coming.

...& the ones left will wail "No Fair! I didn't have enough time to make a decision!!"
