The Babylonian Captivity of the Papacy
Part One - Pope St Uriah
Heap.
The
very first time I heard of Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio was, like most Catholics,
just after he had been elected Pope. Perhaps I should have but how many of us
have the time to make a list of Cardinals, orthodox or not. However, alarm
bells went off almost immediately, he came out on the balcony without the
mozetta, the red shoulder cape that symbolises the rank of bishop and that he
is prepared to be martyred for the Church. I just felt cold as I saw him there
on the balcony of St Peter's I just knew immediately that this was not going to
be a good papacy. Worse still, instead of blessing the crowed he asked the crowd
to bless him, this type of nonsensical false humility has continued throughout
his lamentable pontificate.
Pope St
Uriah Heep.
The
pope goes out of his way to being seen as humble and merciful, and as long as
there is a camera and a microphone to record his humility he'll do all the
gestures necessary. Washing the feet of Muslims, kneeling before Muslim
"refugees" as Italy is swamped by Islam, the very same Muslims who
have made such mess in their own countries that they seek a better life in the
West. In watching this pope, Uriah Heep came to mind. Heep is an apparently
pathetic Dickensian character from David Copperfield, who ultimately turns out
to be very nasty and full of false humility.
Just
when you thought things can't get much worse or sillier Katy Perry is invited
to meet the pope and give a "lecture" on Meditation at the Vatican.
Sounding like the silly Hollywood bimbo she is, she only just managed to string
a few pathetic words together at a time. But there she was lecturing the
bishops, priests and journalists at the Vatican on Transcendental meditation.
Katy Perry, whose first big hit was "I kissed a girl", just recently
forced aging nuns to sell their convent; one nun died last month in court trying
to stop this siren of hedonistic paganism from getting their convent. The
Vatican and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles were on Katy Perry's side in the
dispute of course. They saw the dollar signs rather than the plight of the
nuns. You couldn't make this up if you tried.

"Oh, indeed you must excuse me, Ms Katy, I am greatly obliged, and I should have liked you to sing your song here in the Sistine Chapel, but I am far too umble to be worthy of it"

So
there you have it, the Babylon that is the modern secular media has captured
the Church, with raunchy pop stars, Hollywood actors, and that homosexuals now
populate the Vatican. And what about Cardinal Dolan and the Vatican supported
Catholic themed fashion show? Words fail me! It just brings to mind the
Federico Fellini film Roma, Fellini the prophet heaven forbid - please.
