The White House just issued a statement from President Obama on the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI:
“On behalf of Americans everywhere, Michelle and I wish to extend our appreciation and prayers to His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI. Michelle and I warmly remember our meeting with the Holy Father in 2009, and I have appreciated our work together over these last four years. The Church plays a critical role in the United States and the world, and I wish the best to those who will soon gather to choose His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI’s successor.”
While clashing on many social-policy fronts, Obama’s White House and the Vatican did work together in at least once instance: criticizing Benetton for kissing ads.
Admit it, Bridget — Scott Ott wrote that “press release,” didn’t he?
Just wait until Biden and Kerry speaketh from on high…
This must be a joke.
OBAMUS PRIMUS has “worked together” with the Pope ?????????? Is this the Obama who compels the Church to pay for abortifacient pills and has voted in favor of late term abortion and is member of the party of 50 millions abortions ? And he wishes well to the Cardinals ???????
The Holy Spirit helps the Cardinals to choose the Pope…
But now luckily they will receive also the best wishes of Obamus Primus…
It must be a joke.
What do:1)LGBT, 2)Redistribution of wealth,3)greed,4)power,5)corruption 6) Pope Benedict, 7)Obama and 8)George Soros have in common?
Peru – the world’s largest supplier of silver (from the Potosi silver mines) is experiencing a booming economy. The country’s largest supermarket chain – ALICORP- is purchasing a Brazilian failing producer of Pasta (Santa Amalia) for $200 million dollars. More Peruvian businesses have pending aquisitions in the making in Brazil.
Brazil – Petrobras, the government owned oil and ethanol (sugar cane)monopoly reported losses in 2012 of 36% versus 2011. Remember, they have a $2 billion dollar stake in off shore oil reserves in Louisianna’s shallow drilling platforms. And received first bids on any two (or more) of seven off shore drilling platforms Obama set aside in “preferential treatments” due to his Gulf of Mexico “drilling moratorium.” And George Soro’s “investment” of $2 billion dollars in Petrobras at Obama’s behest. Looks like the “crony-capitalist’s” lost really big time on this one.
Brazil – Eike Batista(OGX), recipient of both American – Brazilian government deal-makings and Soros’s “investments,” has been “de-listed” from Bloomberg’s 100 most richest in the world.
Brazil – who made out like a bandit in Brazil’s demise? Yep, you guessed it….Bank of America(ITAU). They managed to eke out a small profit over 2011. Of course, Quantitative Easing is also taking place in Brazil…sure does help a banks bottom line.
Yep, Argentina is in free fall. Brazil, is following suit and Chile a close third. Goes to prove, once again, “redistribution of wealth” (a la Marx) just has a really unhappy ending.!!!Pray. Amen.
Oh! By the way, the evangelicals in Brazil are literally exploding in membership. Catholics, in Latin America, are leaving Catholicism by the droves. See, Pope Benedicts resignation on 2/11/2013 is an attempt at stopping catholics (chism in Catholic church) leaving the “pedophile kingdom”(Cardinal Ratzinger comes to mind) created by a greedy, power hungry and corrupt Catholic/Vatican hierarchy (including Archbishop Dolans, “hiding” of $55 million dollars in another dioscese). Brazilian Evangelicals are snapping up TV stations, real estate, et al because of tithing and believers hungry for the Word of God. Morality trumps Sodom and Gamorrah…every single time!!!!
I would hope the President has been ruled currently categorically ineligible for membership in the Church. Just me, though.
