(Rome) After the "unspeakable" Video (Messa in Latino) in January there is now a second Pope's video is being released, which is being billed again as "The video of the Pope". This time with the prayer intentions of the Pope for the month of February. Again, Pope Francis has personally turned to the world with a message.
The first video was posted on Epiphany, January 6 on the social networks. On February 6, there now followed by the second video.
The intention in the first video with Pope Francis was "dialogue." Whether good or bad, it is crucial that we talk together. These Christians, Jews, Muslims and Buddhists were on an equal footing and the religions were represented as equivalent: the baby Jesus next Menorah, Islamic prayer beads and a Buddha statue. The Pope was accused of syncretistic tendencies. The theologian Klaus Obenauer wrote, the Pope must choose: either Nathan the Wise, or Jesus Christ .
No prayer intentions but ecosocial behavior instructions
The second video is about the environment, the preservation of the planet and against environmental pollution. In the video the Pope calls for a "change" that "Frees us from the slavery of consumerism." A "new life" is needed. "Because we need a change which unites us all."
The video is indeed broader than "prayer intentions of the Pope," but the Pope does not call to pray, he calls for behaviors. The Pope calls for, instead to prayer, the integrity of creation in terms of environmental protection. His request is: "Take care of the common home". Like the first video there is no question of prayer and prayer requests.
The video was again being disseminated by the Apostleship of Prayer , an initiative entrusted to the Jesuits. It was produced again by the media and advertising agency La Machi Barcelona, under the supervision of the Vatican Television Center CTV.

ReplyDeleteAn atheist could have made exactly the same video.
ReplyDeleteThis pope is a big zero.
"An atheist could have made exactly the same video."
DeleteSo? Does that make what Francis said false?
You don't suppose his advocacy for a new system to better distribute wealth won't have some unjust confiscation of wages, no?
DeleteWow... A zero is what you call him? If Christ himself came back you dopey wops would crucify him again...
ReplyDeleteIf I were in his diocese, my obedience would be 0.
DeleteFor what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and to lose his soul?

No, Anonymous, it is you the Modernists who are daily (and led by Francis) crucifying Christ by calling Him and His Church liars for over twenty centuries. It is you, the present-day heretics, who are the real executioners. RC
ReplyDeleteThe first video was certainly religious indifferentism, but what error or heresy does this one promote?
ReplyDeleteI hope that in his next video the Holy Father promotes healthy meals, regular exercise, and daily bowel movements.
DeleteI don't find anything wrong in the Pope's video. The video simply presents Catholic Social Teaching.

As Chris Ferrara had written in The Remnant, the world is "dominated by multinationals that scour the world for virtual slave labor, corrupt public and private morality by peddling innumerable vices, destroy domestic industry, receive government advantages at every turn, and demand treaty concessions and bailouts whenever necessary to prevent the collapse of their surreally bloated and otherwise unsustainable structures."
The Remnant added that "socialism and capitalism are products of the European Enlightenment and are thus modernizing and anti-traditional forces."
Sounds like Pope Francis and Traditional Catholic Social Teaching.

You people criticize every other aspect of his "witness" as Socialist, which it is, why not criticize the other Socialist aspects as well?
DeleteI know it's enjoyable to say "woe to you rich", but there is a duty to basic justice which so many of you central planning types neglect with respect to private property.
