Good stuff Basto.
You didn't advise if you are indeed from Spain or Portugal?
The more I study your responses the more I am reminded of the Portuguese personalities I encountered in Lisbon. You are friendly and colloquial...this suggests you are not Spanish...yet you are not Sth American either.
Our Port taxi driver kept telling us Port are far more friendly than the Spanish. I agree with him!

Nothing surprising here, just antichrist policies being enacted. Usual suspects.

Nice people and bad people are in everywhere, that’s my conviction. Our Spanish neighbours, nuestros hermanos (that’s how we call them) are indeed very different from us but not worse, just noisier. Viva la España!

Regarding to you Blue, I would advise you to be very careful with the friendships that you’re making in Lisbon, especially if they come from around the 2nd Ring Road because that area is full of "heretics". Talking about a different kind of human belief, they can be much worse than Cardinal Kasper and his “serene theology”, I’m afraid you're always very weak to them Blue. It’s actually hard to believe how somebody with such a good name could make friends over there... Be careful!

I have no doubt that this guy is right and his article appears to be well researched. One only needs to look to the 20th Century to see how fast godless Socialism ... be it Nazi or Marxist ... can take over in times of economic or domestic/international turmoil ....What We Have Now!! .... Eh??
In the USA we, still, have the Occupy Wall Street Anarchists "Out-There" and Islamic Terrorism percolating ... everywhere!
I'm guessing that similar groups are "In-Action" all over Europe. The tactic of funding Front Groups and Useful Idiots to further your Agenda and Goals is nothing new.
I don't think the SHTF Moment by 2017 is a Far-Fetched Notion ...even if you have never heard of TNRS, MOG or any prophecies.

Austrian Bishop: "Even Jesus Struggled at First Learning Diversity"
View attachment 4089
Edit: Bishop Schwarz is an advocate for married clergy as a solution to the "abuse crisis" and We Are Church, among others.

(Vienna) The crisis of the Church is not least described as a crisis of the bishops. This includes the pandering to the Zeitgeist and political power. Currently, the especially unconditional support of mass immigration, including concomitant Islamization of Europe is at a premium. Any means seems acceptable to justify it, even the degradation of Jesus Christ, true God and true man, to an arbitrarily bendable decal.

A bonmot in new speak and Episcopal confusion, which is a "delicacy" in Austria, was recently uttered by the Austrian Bishop of Gurk- Klagenfurt, Msgr. Alois Schwarz.

On January 7, he gave the opening speech at the Pastoral Conference 2016Austrian Pastoral Institute (ÖPI) in Salzburg."Pluralism in Society and the Church" was the politically correct topic.

As Kathpress, the news agency of the Austrian Bishops' Conference and the website of the Diocese of Gurk-Klagenfurt reported, the bishop addressed some 300 people with: "Even Jesus struggled at first learning diversity."

Jesus supposedly was obliged "to learn" what "was beyond the borders of the chosen people of Israel, 'to open up to and acknowledge strangers for their approach to salvation," said thebishop. "God strengthened in fact, 'abided diversity,'" quotedKathpress. Bishop Schwarz described a "learning process" of Jesus. Jesus is supposed to have [...] "learned, 'to be available to everyone' and to allow diversity', said Schwarz.."

PC dung.

 

Look on the bright side. That's one bishop who will avoid being executed in the public square.

 

Yes one thing you Portuguese and Spanish seem to have in common is a deep love of St Football, more than Christ I think!
In Santander the Policeman with the permanent office at the local tow-yards (they obviously do a thriving business with unsuspecting tourists) was very sour faced until he started talking football. That and the 100 extra Euros (over and above standard fees) that tourists have to pay him directly to reclaim their cars because they are "of no fixed abode". What a ripoff!

 

Brian you believe the only thing stopping Jesus from speaking perfect Aramaic (or English?) straight after birth was undeveloped vocal cords?

 

Unfortunately, looks like a Paris styled attack is underway now in Indonesia. Reports says six bombs and 10-14 gunmen. Praying it ends quickly and with few deaths.

And now police activity at Sydney Opera House....

Since Pope Francis has presumed that Jesus had to beg forgiveness for his escapade ,I suppose many other Bishops will feel free to also tell us what Jesus did.
Even if it is Heretical Garbage.

 

I thought I caught everything on this thread but I have missed the medias report on Pope Frances presuming Jesus had to beg for forgiveness for his escapades?
Could you provide the link.
Thank you.

 

“For this little ‘escapade,’ Jesus probably had to beg forgiveness of his parents,” the Pope suggested. “The Gospel doesn’t say this, but I believe that we can presume it.”http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/n...other-and-journey-together-towards-god-20282/

 

Thank you Mac

 

And now for something positive and uplifting wrt our holy Pope Francis:

How a prostitute's story taught Pope Francis the meaning of mercy
Vatican City, Jan 13, 2016 / 03:02 am (CNA/EWTN News).- When Pope Francis was a parish priest in Argentina, he met a mother with young children who had been abandoned by her husband.
She had no steady income. When odd jobs were scarce, she would prostitute herself in order to feed her children and provide for her family. During that time, she would visit the local parish, which tried to help her by offering food and material goods.
One day during the Christmas season the mother visited and requested to see the parish priest, Father Jorge Bergoglio. He thought she was going to thank him for the package of food the parish had sent to her.

"Did you receive it?" Fr. Bergoglio had asked her.
"Yes, yes, thank you for that, too," the mother explained. “But I came here today to thank you because you never stopped calling me Señora."
The Holy Father recalled this touching memory in the sixth chapter of the book The Name of God is Mercy, a newly released book-length interview of Pope Francis by Italian journalist Andrea Tornielli meant to “reveal the heart of Francis and his vision.”
This experience with the young mother profoundly touched Pope Francis, who said it taught him the importance of treating every human person with dignity and mercy, no matter their situation in life.
"Experiences like this teach you how important it is to welcome people delicately and not wound their dignity," Pope Francis stated in the book.
"For her, the fact that the parish priest continued to call her Señora, even though he probably knew how she led her life during the months when she could not work, was as important – or perhaps even more important than – the concrete help that we gave her," the Holy Father continued.

 

Thanks for this link to another beautiful homily from the Pope. But on the point in question, whether Jesus might have 'begged for forgiveness" from his parents, I do actually doubt that. Mary's words to Jesus had been a reproach as Francis says but she would have taken on board Jesus' reply in total humility and Jesus would not have needed to say more about the incident. But we would of course love to know more of how Jesus and Mary behaved to each other in the 30 odd years they were together. I recommend the 'Poem of the Man God' to those who do want to know more.

 

Per the Wall Street Journal, police action at the Sydney Opera House is now ended.
