Pope Goes Darwin - God Evolves -
01-06-2020, 02:38 AM
A New Year and the "new" pope doesn't disappoint - time for a new edition of pope watch so you too can be up on the latest and amaze your friends without having to put up with his insanity.
Say some hipster likes avocado wafers with an arugula dip served at the Last Supper - God's fine with that, and the Holy Spirit has "evolved" into a gerbil.
You wonder sometimes how these cathylick "theologians" got so smart. It reminds me of those elite Hellywood actors and starlets that bribe their lummox offspring into elite colleges so that they too can comment on geopolitics, post-industrial economy, military strategy, and climate science between their multi-million dollar acting gigs.
A lot of this is like figuring out what Nancy Pelosi said at her last press conference, but all you have to do is ask Joe Biden - he and Corn Pop were there when Jesus ordered pizza.

Pope Spouts ‘Evolutionary’ Theology in Christmas Address
by Jules Gomes - ChurchMilitant.com - December 24, 2019
Francis attacks traditionalist Catholics as 'rigid,' 'unbalanced'
ROME (ChurchMilitant.com) - Catholic theologians are warning faithful Catholics to beware of Pope Francis returning to progressive "process theology," based on his Christmas message to the Roman Curia.
"The Holy Father seems to be teaching something called 'process theology,'" a widely published Catholic theologian told Church Militant. "Put simply, this is the idea that God changes as society and the world changes - that God is in the processes."
Process Theology
The theologian, who agreed to be identified simply as "a priest who studied theology in the late 1970s," explained that process theology is an attempt to weave evolutionary theory into theology, and was pioneered by the Protestant philosopher Alfred North Whitehead and the Jesuit paleontologist and evolutionist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin.
On Saturday, Francis quoted Saint John Henry Newman from his "Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine." Francis noted, "Here below to live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often."
In his Christmas address at the Sala Clementina, the pontiff clarified that for Newman, "change was conversion" or "interior transformation," emphasizing that change is particularly significant for our time since it is "not merely an epoch of changes, but an epochal change." Seen in this light, "change would still take place, but beginning with man as its center, "an anthropological conversion," Francis said.
The Holy Father then deployed the terminology and hermeneutic of process theology, citing a 2013 interview with Fr. Antonio Spadaro — which led to mixed reactions on social media because of its confusing message:
Quote:
We need to initiate processes and not just occupy spaces: "God manifests himself in historical revelation, in history. Time initiates processes and space crystalizes them. God is in history, in the processes. We must not focus on occupying the spaces where power is exercised, but rather on starting long-run historical processes. We must initiate processes rather than occupy spaces. God manifests himself in time and is present in the processes of history. This gives priority to actions that give birth to new historical dynamics. And it requires patience, waiting."
|
"In this sense, we are urged to read the signs of the times with the eyes of faith, so that the direction of this change should 'raise new and old questions which it is right that we should face,'" he added.
"This is the paragraph that I find disturbing. It seems right out of a book of process theology," the theologian observed.
"I remember process theology as a trendy theology that appealed to liberal half-wits. It was quite fashionable for a time, but I had thought it had died out along with bell-bottoms and tie-dyed shirts. Apparently not," he noted.
Father Dwight Longenecker, a Catholic convert from Anglicanism, agrees.
In a tweet in response to the pontiff's remarks, he simply posted the words "Process Theology" followed by a link to the Wikipedia entry on the topic.

Other Catholics also responded on social media with incomprehension.
"Oh, that's clear as mud," said one commenter on Twitter.
"Who writes this stuff for him? Does he even understand what this means?" asked another.
"Never underestimate the ability of post-moderns to use tons of words in order to say absolutely nothing," said another.

Rejecting 'Rigidity'
Francis cautioned his audience to be "wary of the temptation to rigidity," which is "born of the fear of change, which ends up erecting fences and obstacles on the terrain of the common good, turning it into a minefield of incomprehension and hatred."
In what some interpreted as a swipe at traditionalist Catholics, the pontiff continued: "Let us always remember that behind every form of rigidity lies some kind of imbalance. Rigidity and imbalance feed one another in a vicious circle. And today this temptation to rigidity has become very real."
Dr. Gavin Ashenden, recent Anglican convert to Catholicism and a lay theologian in the diocese of Shrewsbury, explained to Church Militant how process theology was "born in a somewhat narcissistic and existentialist culture":
Quote:
Process theology takes our preoccupation with our self and self-development and projects it onto God, so that like us, He too is thought of as 'becoming' rather than 'being' — 'becoming' in fact in relation to our own 'becoming.' This is an interesting idea, but fails, I think, to give sufficient weight to our own derivating contingency, or dependency on God, and impose on Him by projection, our preoccupation with our own self-development.
|
"Instead of us being more like Him, it makes Him too much like us," Ashenden commented.
One of process theologian Whitehead's favorite aphorisms was: "It is as true to say that God creates the World, as that the World creates God."
Elsewhere, the pontiff said, "Christendom no longer exists! Today we are no longer the only ones who create culture, nor are we in the forefront or those most listened to. We need a change in our pastoral mindset, which does not mean moving towards a relativistic pastoral care. We are no longer living in a Christian world."

Catholics can be sly, especially the Jesuits. But we are on to their tricks. This Pope has revealed himself to be a communist, he has recently violently assaulted a woman (an act which was reported on this very site) and now he believes in the evolution hoax. The Romans are in thrall to this Pope but he is not only not a Christian, he's not even a Catholic. There's a long history in Rome of the guards doing in the guarded when they think it's necessary, though that evidently hasn't been in vogue for some time now, as far as we know. Those Swiss guards may be sharpening up their pikes even now.

Here is what God thinks of Catholics playing around with Him in Puerto Rico:
Isaiah 24:1-3 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty (2)...as the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. (3) The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken his word.

Oh, my gracious! Well, it's hardly surprising that this has happened to their "church", and the Cathyolicks should not act surprised by this. I mean, how many times have we, the servants of Almighty, warned them that their religion is nothing more than an expressway to the gates of ?
Exodus 20:4 "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth."
Despite the black-and-white Truth of the glorious Scripture from the , the Cathyolicks persist in defying the Word of the , as you will see in the attached video clip. Is it any wonder that re-pays them a visit with wrath?
Romans 12:19 "For it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."
A blessed day to you, Dear Mayor,

The news now is that electricity will be back on over most of the Catholic island. You can bet residents will be catching up on the porn shows they missed.

Where does this man get his ideas? Surely he has history books in his library? Catholicism has never been the only ones who create culture as the first visits of catholics to China would surely reveal. They found a culture which had existed for millennia with no influence whatsoever from Rome or from Princess Olga's orthodox priest or from any heretical form of anything calling itself Christian because Christianity did not exist. Even after the birth of Jesus plenty of cultures sprang up with no vatican input. They were pagan or heathen or savage or atheistic cultures, yes, but that's not the point.
Next: We are no longer living in a Christian world. The whole thrust of Christ's message has always been that until someone hears The Gospel they are not—cannot possibly be—any sort of Christian. Many people who do hear The Good News reject it and persist with heathen idolatry or pagan orgy cults or whatever happens when savages eat those poisonous berries that elephants seem to like. "Good News?" they say. "'Good News' this!" and slice your head right off. I'm not going to draw a map because everyone already knows that the world has never been a Christian world. Some parts of it are but not all of it. Christendom however does still exist. It's the society and culture of wherever Christians are. Maybe it doesn't include France any more (if it ever did) but as long as Christians exist, Christendom will exist. The pope doesn't seem to understand it but that doesn't mean it's not true.
I wonder why he doesn't understand? Or perhaps he does but is implementing Goebbels' große Lüge technique.
