Vatican II
=======
The Second Vatican Council was A PIVOTAL MOMENT: no longer was the
emphasis to be the Renaissance Church royalty of the bishops and
cardinals
living in palaces.
THE EMPHASIS WAS TO BE THE LAITY and it role in TRANSFORMING THE
WORLD in terms of SOCIAL and ECONOMIC JUSTICE eliminating poverty so
that life on earth can be A TASTE OF HEAVEN because Genesis says the
world
was created in GOODNESS.
Vatican II "formally" recognized that the Church exercises its
"temporal power"
through the laity, THE ROYAL PRIESTHOOD OF THE BAPTIZED.
The baptism of the laity confers upon them with "the authority" to
REJECT EVIL
and to DENOUNCE WRONGDOING.
That is THEIR DUTY, THEIR CALLING: that is what SANCTIFIES THEM -
more
than anything.
By REJECTING EVIL and DENOUNCING WRONGDOING - at the risk of losing
their life - they become witnesses of the "living" Gospel that says,
"Jesus LIVES!"
By acknowledging THE PRIMACY OF THE LAITY, the Vatican ll recognized
that the clergy is to play A SUPPORTING ROLE.
So WHO gets to the run the parish?
The priest or the laity?
Vatican II came down on the side of the laity.
(Interestingly, historically, there has been a lay person who was
elected pope:
Pope Adrian V ruled from July 11 to Aug. 18, 1276, but died without
ever being
ordained priest or bishop.

Latino Catholic Intellectuals
====================
Latin American Catholic intelligentsia (more than anyone) understood
"the
direction" and "the intent" of Vatican II, was A CALL to a new kind of
TRANS-
FORMATIONAL THEOLOGY, A NEW "METHOD" OF SANCTIFICATION that
involves STANDING UP - IN SOLIDARITY - WITH THE POOR and HELPING
THEM achieve SOCIAL and ECONOMIC JUSTICE.
This was the beginning of LIBERATION THEOLOGY: the direction the
Church
must take if it wishes to grow and become strong or else face
DESERTIFICATION.
The Desertification Dilemma
====================
Desertification of the Church, the lament of the current Pope, is the
result, I feel,
of the Church *NOT* embracing LIBERATION THEOLOGY.
Desertification of the Church is the result ALSO, I believe, of
sanctimonious,
freeloading priests, bishops, and cardinals who prefer to do A
MINIMAL
AMOUNT OF WORK "playing church" (doing what the Pope does) exhorting
the people to pray more and be holy WITHOUT they, themselves, having
to
CONFRONT social and economic INJUSTICE THAT SURROUNDS THEM
head-on as did THE BRAVE and VALIANT Archbishop of San Salvador,
Óscar Romero, A NATIONAL HERO, killed by the USA for doing so on
March 24th 1980. (Pope John Paul II bestowed upon him the title of
"Servant
of God": his canonization process continues.)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%93scar_Romero
When it comes to the desertification of the Church, the Pope, I
think,
should look at himself in the mirror and rebuke himself for having
lived
SUCH AN EXTRAVAGANT LIFE STYLE driving expensive cars and
ENJOYING THE BEST while *NOT* EVER CONFRONTING the fact
that the Church "unapologetically" supports crooked, oppressive
FASCISM both YESTERDAY and TODAY in so-called Catholic
countries.
The Church has been a "willing" collaborative in the oppression of
99%
of the People and in some places was present when people were tortured
like in Argentina.
Clearly, the Pope needs to EXCOMMUNICATE rich Catholics who are
known to exploit the Poor.
If the Pope does NOT do this, history will remember his as A WEAK,
PATHETIC FIGURE who enjoyed traipsing around in regal papal garb
looking pious when the times called for him to ACT!
North America: FASCIST!
===================
In fact, Canada, Mexico, and the USA, ALL three (3) are FASCIST Police
states
run by "anti-Catholic" Freemasons (including the "anti-Catholic" KKK)
that serve
the Rich who exploit the 99%, but yet three (3) countries have the
"unquestioning"
support of the Catholic Church who REFUSES TO HEAR THE CRIES OF THOSE
WHO ARE POOR AND SUFFERING.
THAT IS NOT EVIL?
According to the Gospels, those who refuse to hear the cries of the
Poor and the
suffering go STRAIGHT TO HELL!
The FIGHT ("La Lucha")
=================
Catholic clerics who welcomed Vatican II organized "Christian-based"
communities
to FIGHT for their right to FAIR WAGES from their Yanky (American)
employer and
FAIR TREATMENT from their Gov't controlled by the USA.
Devout Catholic Latino REPORTERS denounced corruption in the Gov't.
pointing
their accusing finger at the USA.
They became THE FIRST MARTYRS of SOCIAL and ECONOMIC JUSTICE along
with UNION LEADERS and UNION ORGANIZERS, along with the DEFENDERS
OF ABORIGINAL RIGHTS: their martyrdom has yet to be recognized by the
Latino
Catholic Church run by clerics whose families have always been
exploiting
the Poor for centuries.
The USA *EVIL* Response
====================
The USA response was to create and finance DEATH SQUADS to go after
the reporters,
union leaders, union organizers, and defenders of aboriginal rights:
THE LEADERS.
In addition, the USA have CIA AGENTS TRAINED AS EVANGELICAL PASTORS
to spread the Gospel based on the Bible ONLY: they can even be seen
preaching
in front of the Toronto Eaton Centre and who have created Gospel-based
communities
in Toronto mostly lead by African-American pastors who as far as I'm
concerned
are CIA agents.
These CIA AGENTS TRAINED AS EVANGELICAL PASTORS *REPEAT* and
*REPEAT*: there is NO NEED FOR CHURCH. I've heard them at Seaton
House.
Is Seaton House, an eastside downtown Toronto men's shelter, run by
the CIA?
Well, Obama's face is the wall of the 4th floor and African-Americans
run the
place.
Incredible, but it's HIGHLY PROBABLE that the USA has CIA agents
working
as priests in the American Catholic Church in order to *NEUTER* its
SOCIAL
JUSTICE AGENDA: Russia did the same thing in order to control the
Russian
Orthodox Church when it was a communist state. This just seems to be
another
way in which the USA has imitated Cold War Russia.
Remember the USA Catholic Church contributed in A BIG WAY to the civil
rights
movement and to ending the Vietnam War thanks to the likes of the
Berrigan
brothers, Daniel and Philip, (Daniel is still ALIVE and PROTESTING.)
both Catholic
priests (Philip later married and had a daughter.) and Trappist monk,
Thomas Merton
killed by the CIA when in Asia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Berrigan
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Berrigan
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Merton
Today, the American Catholic Church has been - effectively -
SILENCED!
An accident?
I think NOT!
Needless to say the USA response to LIBERATION THEOLOGY paints the USA
as
THE EMPIRE OF *EVIL* which - Iran has "repeatedly" said - it is.
The É(eh)PC, eh-USA, i-México
=======================
The É(eh)PC (Égalité Party of Canada) in line with liberation theology
intends to
ELIMINATE POVERTY, THE SOURCE of terrorism and most of the violence in
society, by using the UN (United Nations) to REDISTRIBUTE THE WEALTH.
The É(eh)PC wants ALL countries to contribute 1/2 their military
budgets to the
UN in order to provide the Poor with INCOME SECURITY.
This will CREATE JOBS.
This will make the global economy STRONGER!
This will allow everyone will to lead *PRODUCTIVE* LIVES.
This is especially important as we go into possibly a 20-year period
of ECONOMIC CONTRACTION and WEALTH EROSION because the
banks, pension funds, and insurance companies are INVESTING AT
A LOSS and because they ALL have BAD DEBT.
.
With the É(eh)PC [and SOON to be created eh-USA (The Égalité Party
of the USA) and i-México (El Partido de la Igualdad de México)] North
Americans will get CLEAN Gov't because they'll be able to monitor
"the
details" of Gov't spending in real time online and will be rewarded
$5000
TAX FREE each time they find UNNECESSARY Gov't spending which
will result in a Gov't employee going to jail for 2 years.
KKK and Freemasons will NOT be ALLOWED to work for the Gov't: in
ALL three (3) countries the Freemasons run BOTH the judiciary and the
bureaucracy. This means NOT ONE OF THEM is a democratic country
because in a democracy the judiciary has to be INDEPENDENT from
the rest of the Gov't in order to be LEGITIMATE: that is NOT THE CASE
for Canada, the USA, and Mexico.
University and college will be FREE.
Social assistance levels will be DOUBLED.
Public transportation - where possible - will be FREE.
Unemployment and social assistance will be AUTOMATIC.
Daycare paid by the employer will be FREE (subsidized by
the Gov't where necessary).
Businesses NOT offering the BEST WAGES and BENEFITS
possible will be NATIONALIZED.
The MINIMUM WAGE will be $20 within five (5) years (subsidized
by the Gov't where necessary).
There will be NO INCOME TAX FORMS to fill as taxes will be deducted
AT SOURCE and because there will be NO tax credits, NO tax
exemptions,
NO tax loop holes.
EVERYONE will pay their fair share of taxes including religious
organizations.
(It's ONLY the Rich who benefit fully from all the tax credits, tax
exemptions,
tax loopholes which means they PAY LESS TAXES MAKING EVERYONE
ELSE TO PAY MORE!)
There will be only one university-educated Police force: POLICING will
be
seen as an EXTENSION OF SOCIAL SERVICES.
People will only be charged IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST and no one goes
to jail without a trial by jury.
NO ONE WILL GO TO JAIL BECAUSE OF DRUGS: drug consumption will
a private matter like drinking beer, and those involved in selling
illicit drugs
will have the money they earned taken away only after they have been
found
to be guilty in a court of law, but will NOT go to jail.
Pardons will be AUTOMATIC after two (2) years.
There will be NO PROBATION and NO PROBATION OFFICERS.
Gov't size will be reduced to LESS THAN 50%.
DUPLICATION in the levels of Gov't will be ELIMINATED in favour of
the
federal level.
ALL ORGANIZATIONS will have 1-click Internet access to their
FINANCIALS
that "must be" EASY TO UNDERSTAND and AUDITED YEARLY by different
chartered accountants each year.
The É(eh)PC is asking ALL Canadians, Americans, and Mexicans
who want THOSE THINGS to *NOT* VOTE until they can vote for
the É(eh)PC, eh-USA, and i-México in their respective countries.
