Religion In The News "...all of the major religions are different paths to the same God." Really? Has the Pope gone too far?

“American democracy is a sham...” See update below

There is something sinister going on in the world today.   We should all be aware of that but that is not so...altogether too many people in the world have no idea what is imminent and yet the signs are obvious.  The world is changing and not for the good!  The Communists/Bilderbergers/New World Order/G8/G20 Summit conspiracy groups have succeeded in their goal of destroying nationalism in the formerly independent countries of Europe; they have been reduced to states of the European Union (the European Union just one state of the New World Order sanctioned by the United Nations).  And no good has become of that!
We have a dictator wannabe sitting in the White House who not only has fundamentally changed the United States but has encouraged and supported the spread of Islam throughout the world...Islam, a so-called religion that has but one goal; domination!  Barack Obama has openly supported the Muslim Brotherhood an Islamist organization whose sole purpose in life is to destroy western civilization...since their founding in 1928!

" ...according to one captured document, the Brotherhood “understand their work in America is a grand jihad in eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands so that Allah’s religion [Islam] is victorious over all religions.” "

And now we have a Pope that some have already declared, "The Pope from hell." who seems to be encouraging a fundamental change in Catholicism.  Before we go on to what the Pope has to say let us get a basic understanding of what Catholics believed for centuries if not from the beginning:

A catechism is the name given to a written work that contains a summary of all the beliefs of the faith that is used as a teaching tool.

Until the second half of the twentieth century, for millions of Catholics in the United States the word catechism meant the Baltimore Catechism, which originated at the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore in 1884 when the bishops of the United States decided to publish a national catechism.  The Baltimore Catechism contained 421 questions and answers in thirty-seven chapters and gave unity to the teaching and understanding of the faith for millions of American Catholics.  Its impact was felt right up to the dawn of the Second Vatican Council in 1962.

At that time, Blessed John XXIII articulated a vision for the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council that charged them to guard and present more effectively the deposit of Christian doctrine in order to make it more accessible to the Christian faithful and all people of goodwill in the contemporary world.  Eventually, it became clear that the development of a new universal catechism would be beneficial, especially since the Church has grown and the world has changed significantly since 1566.

In 1985, at a synod of bishops in Rome convened to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the conclusion of the Second Vatican Council, a proposal to develop a universal catechism for the Catholic Church was made and accepted.  The outcome was the Catechism of the Catholic Church, first published in 1992,  A new edition with some modifications was released in 1997. (continued here )

In the Catechism of the Catholic Church it states: " After the Council of Chalcedon, some made of Christ's human nature a kind of personal subject. Against them, the fifth ecumenical council, at Constantinople in 553, confessed that "there is but one hypostasis [or person], which is our Lord Jesus Christ, one of the Trinity."⁹³ Thus everything in Christ's human nature is to be attributed to his divine person as its proper subject, not only his miracles but also his sufferings and even his death: "He who was crucified in the flesh, our Lord Jesus Christ, is true God, Lord of glory, and one of the Holy Trinity.""  It does not say, "Buddha"...it does not say, "Allah"...it says, "Jesus Christ is true God.

Probably the most concise beliefs of Catholics is boldly said at every mass when the entire congregation recite the Apostle's Creed:

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth;
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
 I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen.

With that said regarding Catholicism, Islam...Muslims, if you will, believe there is no god but God and Muhammad is his messenger.  For Muslims, there is no entity worthy of worship but Allah. Allah has no partners, no progeny and no gender.  Further...Sura 109 states:

9:5. Then when the Sacred Months have passed, then kill the Mushrikun {unbelievers} wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and prepare for them each and every ambush. But if they repent and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat {the Islamic ritual prayers}), and give Zakat {alms}, then leave their way free. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

So Allah has no partners and if you don't believe that then it's OK to kill you.  My question for the Pope is, "Where do you see any semblance of Christianity (or any other religion) with Islam on our journey to meet with God?" ...or as some would say, "Are you the Pope from hell?" ~ End of my commentary

One World Religion: Pope Francis Says All Major Religions Are ‘Meeting God In Different Ways’

By Michael Snyder, on January 10th, 2016 ~ From "End Of The American Dream"

A new video has just been released in which Pope Francis very clearly expresses his belief that all of the major religions are different paths to the same God. He says that while people from various global faiths may be “seeking God or meeting God in different ways” that it is important to keep in mind that “we are all children of God”. This is the most recent example that shows that the Pope has completely abandoned any notion that a relationship with God is available only through Jesus Christ. As he has done throughout his papacy, he continues to lay the groundwork for the coming one world religion, and yet hardly anyone seems upset by this.
When I first heard of this new video, I was so stunned that I thought that it might be a joke. But the truth is that this video is very real. The following comes from an article that was put out by Catholic News Agency…

The Pope’s first-ever video message on his monthly prayer intentions was released Tuesday, highlighting the importance of interreligious dialogue and the beliefs different faith traditions hold in common, such as the figure of God and love.
“Many think differently, feel differently, seeking God or meeting God in different ways. In this crowd, in this range of religions, there is only one certainty that we have for all: we are all children of God,” Pope Francis said in his message, released Jan. 6, the feast of the Epiphany.

But it isn’t just Pope Francis speaking in this video. In fact, one section of the video features leaders from various global religions expressing faith in their respective deities. The following comes from an article about this new video that was posted on Christian News Network…

The video then features clips of those from different world religions declaring belief in their various deities.
“I have confidence in Buddha,” a female lama announces.
“I believe in God,” a rabbi affirms.
“I believe in Jesus Christ,” a priest states.
“I believe in Allah,” an Islamic leader declares.

Are you shocked yet?
The Pope closes the video with an appeal for people from every religion to talk with one another and to work with one another. Here is more from Catholic News Agency…

Later on, after the Pope affirms that all, regardless of their religious profession, are children of God, the faith leaders state their common belief in love.
Pope Francis closes the video by expressing his hope that viewers “will spread my prayer request this month: that sincere dialogue among men and women of different faiths may produce fruits of peace and justice. I have confidence in your prayers.”

If you have not seen this video yet, it is definitely worth a few minutes of your time. You can watch it right here…
Of course this is not the first time that Pope Francis has done something like this. Very early in his papacy, he authorized “Islamic prayers and readings from the Quran” at the Vatican for the first time ever. And as I documented in a previous article entitled “In New York, Pope Francis Embraced Chrislam And Laid A Foundation For A One World Religion“, during his visit to St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan he made it very clear that he believes that Christians and Muslims worship the same God. The following is how he began his address…

I would like to express two sentiments for my Muslim brothers and sisters: Firstly, my greetings as they celebrate the feast of sacrifice. I would have wished my greeting to be warmer. My sentiments of closeness, my sentiments of closeness in the face of tragedy. The tragedy that they suffered in Mecca.
In this moment, I give assurances of my prayers. I unite myself with you all. A prayer to almighty god, all merciful.

In Islam, one of Allah’s primary titles is “the all-merciful one”. If you doubt this, just do a Google search. And this certainly was not the first time that Pope Francis has used such language. For example, check out the following excerpt from remarks that he made during his very first ecumenical meeting as Pope…

I then greet and cordially thank you all, dear friends belonging to other religious traditions; first of all the Muslims, who worship the one God, living and merciful, and call upon Him in prayer, and all of you. I really appreciate your presence: in it I see a tangible sign of the will to grow in mutual esteem and cooperation for the common good of humanity.
The Catholic Church is aware of the importance of promoting friendship and respect between men and women of different religious traditions – I wish to repeat this: promoting friendship and respect between men and women of different religious traditions – it also attests the valuable work that the Pontifical Council for interreligious dialogue performs.

Are you starting to get the picture?
Pope Francis believes that all religions are different paths to the same God, and he is working hard to lay a foundation for the coming one world religion.
After watching this most recent video, I don’t know how anyone can possibly deny that.
However, there are some religious people that Pope Francis does not like. Just recently, he referred to Christian fundamentalism as “a sickness“, and he made it clear that there was no room for it in Catholicism.
So precisely what is “fundamentalism”?
Google defines it as “a form of a religion, especially Islam or Protestant Christianity, that upholds belief in the strict, literal interpretation of scripture.”
Does this mean that Pope Francis is against any Christian that believes in a literal interpretation
That does appear to be what he is saying, and without a doubt those would be the Christians that would be against the kind of one world religion that he appears to be promoting.
Nearly 2000 years ago, the Apostle John warned us that a one world religion was coming, and now we can see that it is coming to fruition.
So what will the end result of all of this be?
Please feel free to tell us what you think by posting a comment below…

On a more congratulatory note, The Pope has had the courage to say: (What I've been saying since day one!)

Vatileaks: Pope Says US Democracy Is Dead, Obama A “Dictator”

Pope Francis has called Barack Obama a “DICTATOR” and warned that he is “tearing up the constitution.”

A disturbing Federal Security Services (FSB) report on the warning letter sent to the European Union in Brussels by the pope this week warns that Obama no longer respects the constitution and is shamelessly ignoring democratic process.

In reference to Obama taking it upon himself to bypass Congress and begin changing laws this week, the report states, “Whether you agree or disagree with the idea of restricting firearm sales, the move by Obama was that of an apprentice dictator.”

But according to the pope, it gets even WORSE.

“The USA has given up on democracy. We no longer have a democracy there. We have an oligarchy lining its own pockets and looking out for itself, ignoring the rule of law. Corruption at the highest level is endemic.”

Pope Francis’s claims are backed up by a recent study by Princeton University Prof Martin Gilens and Northwestern University Prof Benjamin I Page.

“Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on US government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence.”

“Americans do enjoy many features central to democratic governance, such as regular elections, freedom of speech and association and a widespread (if still contested) franchise. But we believe that if policymaking is dominated by powerful business organizations and a small number of affluent Americans, then America’s claims to being a democratic society are seriously threatened.”

Eric Zuess, writing in Counterpunch, isn’t surprised by the survey’s results.

“American democracy is a sham, no matter how much it’s pumped by the oligarchs who run the country (and who control the nation’s “news” media),” he writes. “The US, in other words, is basically similar most other dubious ‘electoral’ ‘democratic’ countries. We weren’t formerly, but we clearly are now.”

L’Observatore Romano, the semi-official newspaper of the Holy See, says that these remarks are just the latest in a long line of outspoken behind-the-scenes statements made by the pope in the last few months. The Italian press  have dubbed these statements ‘Vatileaks.’

CNN host Fareed Zakaria calls for jihad rape of white women

Fareed Zakaria, CNN host of 'Foreign Affairs,' a program focusing on international events, has in his private blog called for the merciless rape of white females by Islamic minority groups shortly after openly gloating over the rise in premature deaths of white males in his article in The Washington Post.

Zakaria's blog post unapologetically calls to increase the death rate of white Middle America by systematically targeting Caucasian females.

"The white race is rightfully failing because it is a foolish, arrogant, and self-absorbed ethnicity that has racism infused into its very genes. While the sharp incline of the death rate of white males is a good start, the solution to the 'white question' will not be reached until there is a sharp decline in the population of white females as well. Much more needs to be done in this regard if this country is ever to advance from its ignorant backwardness towards being an actually inhabitable nation.

Thankfully, the Prophet Muhammad has given us a foolproof way to speed up the decline of a vanquished nation by treating their women as our sex slaves. They may try and fight the unstoppable tide, but their resistance will grow only weaker as the white race loses its ability to keep its head above water. We may yet see some final convulsions before white Middle America is decreased to a manageable number where it can be more easily controlled."

The blog post was removed from Zakaria's blog within a few hours, after it began to receive negative attention.

CNN officials have refused to take action against their employee, stating that there was no evidence of hate speech or racism in Zakaria's writings because he only targeted whites and not minorities. "Some people are just being too sensitive," a CNN representative said in defense of Zakaria, adding that "someone's hurt feelings should not inhibit our right to free speech."

"Every death of a white person brings tears of joy to my eyes," Zakaria posted on his Twitter account shortly after having to remove his blog post, in what is believed to be a passive-aggressive response to his critics.

While many have indeed expressed emotional pain and fear after reading his controversial statements, no apology has been heard from Zakaria or CNN at the time of this writing.

American Freedom... Professor Rotberg Wants To End It Where It All Began

Arranged by Storm'n Norm'n

The "Shot Heard 'Round The World" was fired at Lexington Green, as the British marched to Concord, Massachusetts.  The reason for the journey of Red Coats across the Massachusetts landscape was to seize the armory in Concord, to capture the largest colonial stash of ammunition and firearms.  In other words, the final straw that led the Americans to revolution was when the British came to take their guns. ~ Source: Obama's Gun Control @ Political Pistachio

Robert Rotberg pushes for ban on assault weapons in hometown of Lexington

Town Meeting member Robert Rotberg wants to change national gun laws, so he is starting with a push to alter Lexington's bylaws.

Rotberg is proposing an amendment to Chapter 97 of the Code of Lexington, titled “Code of Conduct,” to ban the ownership of semi-automatic or fully automatic weapons able to hold ammunition clips containing more than 10 rounds. He submitted a citizen petition for the annual Town Meeting warrant, so Town Meeting members will have a chance to decide whether to support his proposed changes in March.

“This is Lexington taking a stand,” Rotberg said. “I hope that with Lexington approving something like this at Town Meeting, other towns will copy and emulate us and we can spread this movement around the state.”

A resident needs the Town Clerk to certify the signatures of 10 registered voters to place a citizens’ petition on an annual Town Meeting warrant, according to state law.

Rotberg said the proposal does not oppose the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which states, “A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”

“It doesn’t restrict anything except the most murderous types of weapons,” said Rotberg, who added he has garnered support from other residents. “They wouldn’t be able to purchase or possess heavy-duty assault weapons in the town of Lexington.”

Rotberg said the proposal is modeled after a 2013 ordinance passed in Highland Park, Illinois, which banned assault weapons and large capacity weapons. On Dec. 7, the U.S. Supreme Court decided not to hear an appeal of the case in which a resident sued the city for instituting the ban. Jonathan Lowy, director of the Brady Center’s Legal Action Project, responded to the decision by stating, "We are pleased that the Supreme Court will not disturb the ruling that the Constitution allows for common sense public safety laws, and does not entitle people to military-style weapons of war. Like any right, the Second Amendment is necessarily limited by the public’s right to live -- a right not to be shot.”

The Brady Campaign to End Gun Violence is named for James Brady, press secretary for President Ronald Reagan, who was seriously injured in the 1981 assassination attempt on Reagan and died in 2014. It lists as its mission "to create a safer America for all of us that will lead to a dramatic reduction in gun deaths and injuries."

Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia dissented from the decision not to hear the case, with Thomas writing that the court had previously ruled, “that the Second Amendment protects a personal right to keep and bear arms for lawful purposes, most notably for self-defense within the home," and that, "If a broad ban on firearms can be upheld based on conjecture that the public might feel safer (while being no safer at all), then the Second Amendment guarantees nothing."

Rotberg said the proposal to change Lexington's bylaws comes as close to the Highland Park ordinance as possible.

If passed by Town Meeting, then the Attorney General's Office staff will review the bylaws, as it does with all potential bylaws, to determine if they comply with the state constitution.

Lexington gun licenses

As of Dec. 2, there were 165 people with active Firearms Identification Cards (FIDs) in Lexington. FID cards, which are valid for six years, allow the holder to possess a non-large capacity firearm, rifle or shotgun, according to Lexington Police Capt. Michael McLean.

There were 717 residents with one of the two licenses to carry (LTC), which are valid for six years, as of the same date, McLean said. Of those, there are 697 Class A licenses, which allow for the possession and transport of large-capacity firearms, shotguns and rifles and semiautomatic and automatic weapons. A Class B license allows for the possession and transport of non-large-capacity firearms.

Licenses to carry can only be issued to people 21 and older. FID cards can be issued to residents who are 15 years old or older.

There are four residents with a license to possess a machine gun, which by Massachusetts law can only be issued to firearms instructors for the purpose of training police or a collector of firearms, McLean said.

Michaela Dunne, a manager at the Massachusetts Department of Criminal Justice Information Services, said military personnel in Massachusetts do not need to have a license to carry a firearm while on duty, so any license held by a service-member is for private use.

Dunne would not immediately release the number or types of weapons registered in Massachusetts.

Rotberg said he hopes pushing for the amendment will not only limit the types of firearms in Lexington but spread to other communities in Massachusetts.

“Now it will go before Town Meeting in March or April, and at that point, the hope is we’ll get lots of interest in Concord, Bedford, Acton and so on,” Rotberg said.

Obama Scared To Admit The 2nd Amendment Is Part of the Constit...
Barack Obama couldn’t bring himself to link the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution. He couldn’t say it. Obama doesn’t care about the Constitution, he doesn’t give a damn about the Bill of Rights! Obama cares about his progressive agenda to control the lives of ordinary citizens. His executive action on guns was a power grab. Pure and simple. This guy is coming after your gun rights are we must oppose him and his unconstitutional governance.
