Isn't It Wonderful?!

I think that it's just thrilling that Pope Francis feels that the illegal aliens (excuse me...undocumented Democrats) are noble pilgrims embarking on a journey to a brave, new world, and that Bishops should encourage their priests and flocks to welcome them with open arms. His Holiness was a bit light on the details, however. I don't believe the he mentioned how many of them would be continuing on to Vaticanus and how their transportation was to be paid for. Further, he must have forgotten to detail exactly how the Papacy was going to take on the support for those who choose to remain here, paying for food, housing, healthcare, education, etc. In addition, how is the Holy See going to take on the responsibility for the further criminal escapades and mischief the a segment of these people will commit?

But I suppose that His Holiness and Our Holiness will have some secret meeting to work out the details.

~Sigh~

Isn't it just wonderful?

    Organized religion with one exception is a business where they teach you not to be afraid of the dark in exchange for 10% commission. Like lawyers if you don't like the answer try the one down the street.

    as many of you know I live on a boat. I've been asked that question including burial arrangements as late as yesterday.

    On boats we keep log books. I have two sets. So I always tell the MS which does not mean Miz but Main Squeeze go to set two and keep filling it out as normal then make sure the mail forwarding is paid and the credit cards paid all done by computer and automatically renewed and you have a way of getting the new cards. Have your mail drop forward them to whatever en route address is appropriate. That leaves taxes. Turbo tax is the answer. No signature required. Keep the log books showing crew of two. No need to renew a passport or drivers license.none of that. You aren't in country.

    Use ATM's and use it up every month with a bit left over. Make sure you send an email to the bank or whatever one of them is very good I'll recommend it at another time. as to your travel itinerary.

    Start putting money aside in different form.

    A word of caution. One day someone will show up and say Where's ......he's the oldest known living Vietnam Vet! " At that point whip out the second log book.

    He had a heart attack and died and I had to bury him at sea. Just last week! You missed him that close.

    Send off the email notificiations, pay the last bills and have fun on your new sailboat.

    Trust has a lot to do with it.

    It is a Wonder -- no doubt.
    Wonder who is going to house them?
    Wonder who is going to educate them?
    Wonder if they're criminals?
    Wonder who is gonna pay?
    The Pope chooses to sidestep all those wonders. Just do it! Never mind how or how much. It is the attitude of a child who wants what he wants when he wants it. Only with a polite soft-spoken voice. I think he might have to wait until They can have what we got when we get it.

    Good point was he identified as a religioso or as the head of the Vatican a separate city state nation and it is a theocracy.

    khallling,
    No, I don't mean we shouldn't get mad. I know we
    have to get mad, and express it. But just that we
    should make sure that we don't lose our heads and
    make bigoted comments in the process. To tell
    you the truth, I didn't think that the head of the
    Roman Catholic Church should have been in
    that building addressing Congress in the first
    place.

    do you ever think that while we are patiently explaining rationally these important concepts, ignoring in the meantime that we are losing battles-that means we have lost our freedoms, and that we should be getting mad? sigh. hey, I have a FB friend who is a killer artist, doing a series of of fine art called Liberty Belles. If you are interested, I'll send you a link to his recent work on the first, I believe, in the series. :)

    Some wise teachings from the Church of OhioCrossroads:

    You can fool some of the papal some of the time.

    Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day.
    Teach a man to fish, and he'll sit on the dock drinking beer all day.

    Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

    Advice to the young: Never sit on a wicker chair when naked.

    Now the Mystics of Mind are coordinating with the Mystics of Muscle. The collapse will come much quicker.

    Before you go out on strike, please assure that there is no way the gooberment can put their dirty hands on any of your wealth. And DON'T give it to the Catholic Church either!

    I remember Ayn Rand's article "Requiem for Man"
    (in "Capitalism: the Unknown Ideal".). It was about
    Pope Paul VI's encyclical "Popolorum Progressio".
    It looks like Pope Francis is continuing Pope Paul's
    campaign,(or whatever it should be called).
    I looks like we just have to fight, that's all,
    rationally explaining to people what's wrong with
    that attempt.

    I am friends with Will Lynch, went to high school with him. Go ahead and google his name and see what comes up regarding the catholic church. That organization can go pound sand. I'm very proud of Will... And for the ladies - google Will's image.

    I get a very visceral reaction when I see the costumed one standing up there telling us what to do...

    This just in. The Pope said you should throw yourself off a cliff and give your stuff to the church.

    He wears a big hat. Nice knowing you...

    Amen

    The wonderfulness of all this began (I dare say) under Papa Bush and is now just continuing to escalate at an alarming rate. It is just too bad that more of us don't jump on this awesome turnip truck and embrace our fellow humans. Oh, how callus those of us with a mind can be. Salty, your comment was spot on!

    Francis lacks the courage of John Paul II. JPII knew the evil of totalitarianism, having been a captive of Communist Poland, and knew that deals with such entities would be a betrayal of all the church represents. Francis shares the same delusional philosophy of Obama in thinking that appeasement will make these regimes more willing to moderate.

    By endorsing the climate change mantra, Francis's actions will serve to keep the world's poor in place, waiting for manna to fall from the supposedly unending larder of the developed world, instead of developing their own infrastructure. By encouraging "refugees" seeking more affluence to overload the social systems of the developed world, he's inviting them to kill the goose that has laid the golden eggs that have kept them afloat.

    His cowardice is most evident by his at best subtle, oblique "coded" criticism of abortion. This undoubtedly is his effort to technically adhere to the church's unequivocal stance against abortion, while trying not to upset the "holiday" Catholics and Obama. If he had the courage of JPII, he would have blasted the government for its support of Planned Parenthood.

    The day after the Bishop of Roma returns home the Zero's administration will be back to purging all religions from government and the military except for Islam.

    LMAO too perfect. Your answer. Need a close up of the end of the tail. I'm a fan of burros.

    Here's a translated little song that might help!

    El burro
    The Donkey
    Rima de sorteo
    Counting-out Rhyme

    Warning do not pronounce Vowels with Latino accent they confuse b and v sound and it will come out frijoles

    A, el burro se va,
    E, el burro se fue,
    I, el burro está aquí,
    O, el burro se ahogó,
    U, el burro eres tú.

    A, The donkey's going away,
    E, The donkey did flee,
    I, The donkey is standing by,
    O, The donkey drowned, oh no!
    U, The donkey is you!

    He is a random person elected to head up one of the largest businesses in the world, whose product is some sort of undocumented and vague hope of eternal life in some vague place with angels and clouds. No one has ever been there and come back with pictures even. Religious leaders have no business in our government or even speaking in front of it. Must have killed Islamic Obama to have to meet the pope !
