The Left's absurd sudden respect for the Catholic Church and the Pope

LMAO!! Seriously you want to talk about hypocrisy?
How many times have you seen nothing but ridicule, hatred, and contempt from the Left for the Catholic Church and its leader, the Pope?

All of a sudden the Left loves and respects the head of the Catholic Church because he's a far left-wing loon so desperate to salvage the Church from its falling number of adherents that he has made a survival pace with the OTHER FAILING IDEOLOGY; SOCIALISM????

spare me the phony sanctimony
some of us are trying to lobby for a "ban" on raising "honest Injeun contingents" in the US, due to all of the bifurcation on the right.
 
One doesn't have to agree with everything to appreciate the things you like. The papacy is concerned about the the poor and is anti-war, stances the left usually likes. On the other hand the left doesn't agree with the RCC on abortion and birth control or the slow reaction to priestly sex scandals. It's only the ultra-partisans that think one has to agree with everything or be labelled a traitor.
you mean the way the Left labels EVERY conservative Black man or woman a "sellout" or "Uncle Tom"????????????????????????????? idiots and hypocrites
Every? You have no way of proving that. Also, use of more than three punctuation marks in a row is prima facie evidence of mental disorder.


what Black Conservative man or woman of note HASNT been labeled a token, sellout, traitor, or Uncle Tom by the Left??????????????

waiting................................
Out of the thousands...the tens of thousands...the hundreds of thousands of black conservative men and women? Well, off the top of my head, Colin Powell for starters. Also my black neighbor who puts GOP election signs up every election....probably his wife too.

The real hypocrisy is coming from the right - as usual.

RWs hate him because he apparently follows the teachings of Jesus. He behaves like Jesus.
Did Jesus get belly rubs from little boys? This pope has covered for at least 2 pedophile priests. He's scum.

YAWN

the rift between American Conservatives who tend to be Baptists and/or evangelicals not Catholics has been well-documented for some time idiot

stop LYING TO YOURSELF

So you're attacking liberals for actually judging this Pope by his actual views? WTF?
Apparently to bedowin, that's a bad thing.
 
As you can see, Massachusetts, which is considered a very "liberal" state, has a large Irish Catholic population. I don't know why people think that people who are considered "the left" or "democrats" would not be religious.

Demographics of Massachusetts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Religion[edit]
As the United States does not collect religious data, it is unknown how many people of each religion live in Massachusetts. Some polls only measure religious adherence of church rather than the whole population. Massachusetts was founded and settled by Puritans in the 17th century. The descendants of the Puritans belong to many different churches; in the direct line of inheritance are the Congregational/United Church of Christ and Unitarian Universalist Association. Both of these denominations are noted for their strong support of social justice, civil rights, and moral issues, including strong and early advocacy of abolition of slavery, women's rights, and (after 2000) legal recognition of same-sex marriage.[citation needed] The headquarters of the Unitarian Universalist Association is located on Beacon Hill in Boston. Today Protestants make up less than 1/4 of the state's population. Roman Catholics now predominate because of massive immigration from Ireland, Quebec, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. A large Jewishpopulation came to the Boston area 1880–1920. Many Jews from Eastern Europe have also been immigrating to the Boston area since the fall of Communism. Islam has also been growing in recent years and now numbers between 30,000 and 80,000. Mary Baker Eddy made the Boston Mother Church of Christian Science the world headquarters. Buddhists, Pagans, Hindus, Seventh-day Adventists, and Mormons also can be found. Kripalu and the Insight Meditation Center (Barre) are examples of non-western religious centers in Massachusetts. Bahá'ís are also present.

According to the Association of Religion Data Archives the largest single denominations are the Roman Catholic Church with 3,092,296; the United Church of Christ with 121,826; and the Episcopal Church with 98,963 adherents. Jewish congregations had about 275,000 members.[11]


Old Ship Church, Hingham, Massachusetts, built 1681, oldest church in America in continuous ecclesiastical use
As of 2001, the religious affiliations of the people of Massachusetts were:[12]


Religion or Denomination % of Population
Catholic 44
No Religion 23
Baptist 4
Christian (no denomination specified) 3
Methodist 2
Lutheran 1
Presbyterian 1
Protestant 4
Pentecostal 2
Episcopal 3
Jewish 1.8
Muslim 1.2
Church of Christ 1
Congregational/United Church of Christ 3
Buddhist 1
Other 5
To declare Liberals as "anti-religious" is part of their "us vs. them" divide strategy. It ties in with their need to be persecuted and a survivalist bunker mentality.

no idiot; we're judging you by the laughable way you are pandering to somebody who represents views you clearly disagree with; but moreover what the Bible HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE REPRESENTING says about things y ou clearly have the opposite view of

try again...................
Pandering:
verb
gerund or present participle: pandering
  1. gratify or indulge (an immoral or distasteful desire, need, or habit or a person with such a desire, etc.).
    "newspapers are pandering to people's baser instincts"
    synonyms: indulge, gratify, satisfy, cater to, give in to, accommodate, comply with
    "David was always there to pander to her every whim"

I don't that word means what you think it means. :rofl:

more comical hilarity from people who show a comptempt for religion on a daily basis




link to me showing contempt for religion on a daily basis.

i'm catholic. did you know that bearing false witness is a sin? :eusa_naughty:
That actual sin...one of the big TEN is one they don't care about..........but they like to make up sins that Jesus never talked about.

Really? Every one? How do you know, considering there are thousands of conservative black men and women...........if not tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands....................aren't there?


you missed the part "on note" leftard. so typical. if any of the thousands become well known enough to attract the attention of the Left, or (government forbid!) they decide to run for office. they WILL receive that treatment from the Left
Looking at your post I quoted....no "on note" in it. You were saying?
 
O'Donnell attacked Catholicism for a "lack of a Christian attitudes":
ROSIE O'DONNELL: And all my nieces and nephews are baptized. So, when Parker arrived, 19 years ago, they're like, "When is the christening?" I'm like, "There isn't a christening." They're like "Why isn't there a christening?" I'm like, "Well, the gay church, they don't really accept me." So, I didn't want to bring my kid, christen him into something where they're going to speak against the evils of their mom. So, it was a big point for me as well, the rejection of homosexuality and the lack of Christian attitudes.

I'm sure the Church is going to change because a few old, leftist hags thinks it should. <eye roll>
Well, you certainly seem terrified of any change. Are you one of the ones who cried "end of the world" after Vatican II?

Misty

I didn't know that.

Please post a link as I cannot find any proof of that..

Thanks very much.
 
Well, the pope is speaking now, but it's really difficult to understand him because of his very thick accent. They should really have some kind of translation at the bottom of the screen. I mean, you can understand him, but you REALLY have to pay attention, and still some words . . . .


You mean he wasn't speaking in tongues?
Catholics don't do that...It's called Latin...


We were just talking about how long its been since either of us sat through a church lecture-sermon ...

Its been long enough that the catholics were probably still using Latin.

Might even be as long as when they were still burning "heretics" at the stake.
Pax vobiscum mofo, yo...
 
the pope two popes ago was cannonized i believe leftard
Er....no he was not. There hasn't been enough time yet.

Yeah, Pope John Paul was canonized. He and Pope John XXIII both were at the same time, 2014
Nope....he's not a saint yet...there's a long process to go thru. You'd think, you being "catholic and all" you'd know about that.

The poster said he was canonized, he is, April 2014. Sit down

The Canonization Of Pope John XXIII And Pope John Paul II

Pope Francis, with Retired Pope, Canonizes Saints John and John Paul
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Canonizing two recent popes in the presence of his immediate predecessor, Pope Francis praised the new Sts. John XXIII and John Paul II as men of courage and mercy,

who responded to challenges of their time by modernizing the Catholic Church in fidelity to its ancient traditions.

"They were priests, bishops and popes of the 20th century," the pope said April 27, in his homily during Mass in St. Peter's Square. "They lived through the tragic events of that century, but they were not overwhelmed by them. For them, God was more powerful."

I stand corrected....it looks like they did a ton of shortcutting to get them there.

The process is supposed to take quite a while:
