TPI Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 "Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich." Napoleon Bonaparte Said the despotic dictator who failed in his imperial designs. That doesn't stop him being right! The french people supported him when he escaped from Elba, they supported him "to the knife"!!! Wasn't the original revolution against the Catholic Church??

allanos Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 This cardinal has been reading the script from the Jacob Zuma playbook. He did not ask for, nor authorise, the refurbishments. No question of demanding to know where the money was coming from. No sign of refusing to allow the work to take place! As long as the poor keep donating and tithing, the fat cats in the church hierarchy will keep on hoovering the money up, and wallowing in it, all the while displaying their piety for all the world to see, promising an eternity in heaven for their congregants, and Hell and damnation to those unfortunates left behind. Religion is a massive confidence trick; all smoke and mirrors. Karl Marx said "religion is the opium of the masses"; what an apt phrase! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arjunadawn Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 These are how clues present to the world regarding the inner dynamics of the world's oldest monarchy (ish). When teased apart often Vatican watchers can detect what power-plays are afoot. The appearance of cleaning house may be just that, but more likely who was chosen for spring cleaning is the real story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
