BIZARRE "Pope Francis just compared the Great Commission to Islamic conquest" The Right Scoop
What a strange analogy and comparison ....bizarre & contradictory because Christian evangelism has nothing to do with killing people to conquer... It's about love peace faith grace goodness ...& transforming the world thru positive goodness & civility
"
Pope Francis: Today, I don't think that there is a fear of Islam as such but of ISIS and its war of conquest, which is partly drawn from Islam. It is true that the idea of conquest is inherent in the soul of Islam.
However, it is also possible to interpret the objective in Matthew's Gospel, where Jesus sends his disciples to all nations, in terms of the same idea of conquest ...."

POPE DID NOT MEET w/ BERNIE. Y DID BERNIE SAY THEY DID MEET PRIVATELY? "Pope Francis apologises to Bernie Sanders after missing his Vatican visit from New York" | Daily Mail Online
This is strange. I thought elsewhere in a different article that Bernie claims he did meet briefly w/ the Pope privately (see below ny times misleading title) Maybe the Vatican wants to make sure they know he did not meet with Bernie. I mean let's be honest about it, Bernie Sanders represents the opposite of what the catholic church & the Pope stand for. Bernie is pro abortion , Catholic Church is anti abortion & pro life. Bernie is pro gay marriage, Catholic Church is anti gay marriage or pro traditional marriage . there is no so-called gay marriage in the Catholic Church.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3542163/Pope-apologies-missing-Vatican-meeting-Bernie-Sanders-rushed-New-York-attend.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490
NO HE DID NOT: "Bernie Sanders Meets With Pope Francis" ny times misleading title suggests that Bernie & the Pope had a meet-&-greet sit-down talk, but in fact, if you read the above link (daily mail) you will see that the pope told Bernie he could not meet with him at the conference Bernie attended, but, for politeness sake, if Bernie wanted to shake the pope's hand, he should be at a certain hall at 6am as the pope was leaving for a trip, and they briefly shook hands in passing.

POPE'S SYMBOLIC GESTURE MISINTERPRETED? "The Problem With Multi-Cultural Foot Washing" Frontpage Mag
To all Muslims out there, we want to let you know, as Christians, that we enter into positions of servitude as a symbolic gesture of unity and harmony with others,not just other Christians. It's a gesture of friendship and care . it's not a gesture of weakness nor submission to Islam or to Muhammad nor to anything associated with Islam. We are not weak as Christians but we are in Christ and submit ourselves as servants to Christ which also means service to others, but this is not a matter of weakness but of strength. this is real strength,caring 4 others.
"Historically, the People of the Book were expected to assume the status of dhimmis—second-class citizens with limited rights. The origin of this attitude can be found in several verses in the Koran, particularly 9:29, which says that the "People of the Book" are to be fought "until they pay the jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued..."

FINALLY, WE CAN SAY "ALLELUIA" AGAIN (in the catholic church)
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH really tries to make Lent a dry, almost depressing 'season' so that Easter literally feels like new life for the parishioners as well. I definitely felt it this year.
"...
Q. Why can't we say "alleluia" during Lent?
A. The point of the season is a kind of exile. While the event of the resurrection has occurred in history, the days of Lent serve as a reminder that we do not yet experience the kingdom in its fullness. We live in the hope of the resurrection, but the weakness of human existence is all too evident in this life. The omission of the alleluia is one symbolic way to enter into the spirit of the season of Lent. The days of Lent are days of penance and recollection of human weakness but also days of anticipation and so we long for the day when the kingdom is fully realized. To be deprived of certain things during the days of Lent is designed to create a longing for the realization of all that the life of Jesus promis..."

between DiCaprio and Pope Francis, and describe it as
Leo making a bid for the Pope's endorsement in a
campaign for best-actor Oscar for DiCaprio's role in the
recent blockbuster The Revenant. Though the Pope isn't
himself a member of the Academy, his endorsement is
sure to have significant value with members of the
organization..."

(Shame on Jose Gomez?) BUT THEY WOULDN'T ALLOW PETITIONS: "OneLife LA Unites More Than 15,000 In Celebration Of The Beauty And Dignity Of Every Human Life In Downtown Los Angeles" | He...
I've been informed that the pro-life group "survivors" were told by oneLifeLA that they would not allow them to circulate petitions re parental notification for minors considering abortion. As it is now, a minor needs parental notification and/or signature for just about everything,from field trips to sex-ed, and the list goes on,but if a girl wants an abortion,no parental notification is required,let alone consent. It seems to be a no-brainer that a parent should be informed & allowed to talk to their child before such a major surgical procedure is executed. And these petitions were circulated & endorsed on stage in san francisco,but I'm told Jose Gomez and/or his assistants wouldn't allow it or endorse it in L.A. Shame on Jose or whoever said NO (apparently x3 for emphasis ie "no,no,no"!)
