Bartholomew on Francis

Caelum Et Terra

Bartholomew with Pope Francis

This is hopeful, but to put it in perspective, I don’t know many time, quoting the Ecumenical Patriarch, I have had Orthodox friends respond “Well, he’s not really Orthodox”…

“It was a lovely and very intense meeting,” Bartholomew said. “I felt moved and I really hope the successor of the Apostle Peter and the successor of the Apostle Andrew, his brother, will decide to do the pilgrimage to Jerusalem next January.” The Patriarch of Constantinople even invited Francis to visit the Holy Land: “We would like to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the embrace between Pope Paul VI and Patriarch Athenagoras, in January 1964. The Patriarch of Jerusalem also agrees.” Bartholomew also invited Pope Bergoglio to Istanbul for the Feast of St. Andrew on 30 November: “We invited him to visit this year or the next.”

The Catholic Church on Poverty

Caelum Et Terra

It is not wrong to want to live better; what is wrong is a style of life, which is presumed to be better when it is directed towards ‘having’ rather than ‘being’.
Centesimus Annus – ‘The One Hundredth Year’ (1991), paragraph 36

Its [the Church’s] desire is that the poor should rise above poverty and wretchedness, and should better their condition in life; and for this it strives.
Rerum Novarum -’Condition of Labour’ (1981), paragraph 23

When there is a question of protecting the rights of individuals, the poor and helpless have a claim to special consideration. The rich population has many ways of protecting themselves, and stands less in need of help.
Rerum Novarum, paragraph 29

While an immense mass of people still lack the absolute necessities of life, some, even is less advanced countries, live sumptuously or squander wealth. Luxury and misery rub shoulders. While the few…

WHY I STAND WITH TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE…AND REJOICE WITH MY LGBT “FAMILY”.

 

NOTE:  Comment:  Jean thanks for your reblog of this!!! One thing though, I made a
historical error. It was John Paul I not II who congratulated the first
invitro-fertilizaton born child. So you may wish to correct that. Sorry I try to
fact-check when I post but that one slipped right by. Thanks again and many
blessings.

There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true. —Soren Kierkegaard. "...truth is true even if nobody believes it, and falsehood is false even if everybody believes it. That is why truth does not yield to opinion, fashion, numbers, office, or sincerity--it is simply true and that is the end of it" - Os Guinness, Time for Truth, pg.39. “He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God’s providence to lead him aright.” - Blaise Pascal. "There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily" – George Washington letter to Edmund Randolph — 1795. We live in a “post-truth” world. According to the dictionary, “post-truth” means, “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.” Simply put, we now live in a culture that seems to value experience and emotion more than truth. Truth will never go away no matter how hard one might wish. Going beyond the MSM idealogical opinion/bias and their low information tabloid reality show news with a distractional superficial focus on entertainment, sensationalism, emotionalism and activist reporting – this blogs goal is to, in some small way, put a plug in the broken dam of truth and save as many as possible from the consequences—temporal and eternal. "The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." – George Orwell “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” ― Soren Kierkegaard
