The lame
stream media is starting to get it
Pope Francis is increasingly
driving a wedge between conservatives and the Catholic Church.
Hours after President Obama
announced moves to ease trade and travel restrictions to Cuba, Sen. Marco Rubio
(R-Fla.), a practicing Catholic and potential 2016 presidential candidate,
criticized the deal and Francis's role in it.
“I would also ask His Holiness to
take up the cause of freedom and democracy, which is critical for a free
people, for a people to truly be free,” Rubio told reporters.
“Sadly, in the case of Cuba, the
Catholic Church has not always applied its basic principles of human dignity
and reverence for the God-given freedoms that belong to every soul. I was
supremely disappointed by press reports that the Pope had a hand in urging
President Obama to cede crucial leverage that could have been used to help the
Cuban people become free,” Diaz Balart said.
It's not the first time Francis
has clashed with conservatives.
“He's modeling the church as a
place for open disagreement,” said Vincent J. Miller, who chairs the University
of Dayton's Catholic theology program. “In that sense, one of the most
important changes he's making is that conservative politicians are now openly
disagreeing with him,” Miller said.
me: I hope they eventually figure out that his
message of the forced redistribution of wealth of
countries’ citizens by governments is what Baal Tyranny (81796, 81738.2.2., 81710) is all about.
