Francis named PETA's Person of the Year

...is PETA as dense as Francis?

The first pope to take the name of St Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals, is also the first to be picked as PETA’s Person of the Year.

Pope Francis earned the title for asking all citizens of the world to reject domination over God’s creation, treat animals with kindness and respect the environment – something that seems to us can only be interpreted as a subtle call to go vegan, given the well-established role of animal agriculture in climate change.

In his 2015 treatise, Laudato Si’, Pope Francis stressed the importance of treating animals with kindness, writing the following:

We have only one heart, and the same wretchedness which leads us to mistreat an animal will not be long in showing itself in our relationships with other people. Every act of cruelty towards any creature is ‘contrary to human dignity’.

It is contrary to human dignity to cause animals to suffer or die needlessly. #LaudatoSi

— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) June 19, 2015

He also included these important words to live by:

We are not God. … [W]e must forcefully reject the notion that our being created in God’s image and given dominion over the Earth justifies absolute domination over other creatures.

Pope Francis is also known for his focus on environmental stewardship – a concern that PETA shares through our vegan advocacy, as, according to the United Nations, a global shift towards vegan eating is necessary in slowing the most dangerous effects of climate change, including the extinction of wildlife.

With more than a billion Catholics worldwide, Pope Francis’ animal-friendly teachings have a massive audience. His Holiness is PETA’s Person of the Year for spreading the message of kindness to all, regardless of their religion or species, and we hope people will hear his message and choose a compassionate vegan lifestyle.

PETA turned a blind eye towards Francis' advocating for kosher slaughter back on September 2nd, 2013 when he met with officials from the World Jewish Congress.

The pope specifically expressed concern about the bans on kosher slaughter in Poland and directed Cardinal Kurt Koch, the president of the Vatican’s Commission for Relations with the Jews, to investigate and host a follow-up meeting as early as next week.

Francis reiterated a statement made last June that “a Christian cannot be an anti-Semite” and said that “to be good a Christian it is necessary to understand Jewish history and traditions.”

Francis discussing Poland's ban on Jewish 'shechitah' and Muslim 'halal' slaughter.

Many of the mainstream media websites said that Francis considered the kosher and halal methods of ritual slaughter a matter of religious freedom.  After being pressured by the world, Poland overturned the ban on kosher and halal slaughter of animals in December 2014.

PETA's website says, “Animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way.”  So how does PETA figure naming Francis their person of the year, when he being an advocate for 'shechitah' (kosher) slaughter, was a good idea?

Maybe we at Call Me Jorge... should look at the bright side.  At least Francis wasn't named person of the year by a sodomite magazine again! 

Where did the people go?

Where's the much ballyhooed 'Francis Effect'?

Has it been replaced by 'Francis Fatigue'?

a photo of Francis' General Audience of 11 February 2015

posted on Italian author, Antonio Socci's facebook page

In the photo above, do you see throngs of people in St. Peter's Square attending Francis' general audience?  Neither do we.  Where have they gone?  Why is the media not covering this story?

This is by no means a scientific or exhaustive study of attendance at Francis' general audiences.  We grabbed two videos at random to compare to Wednesday's.  We concentrated on the real estate of St. Peter's Square between the Colonnades, which encircle the square.  Screenshots and links to the videos are below.

11 February 2015

that looks sparse!

Is it all his name calling of faithful Catholics or is it Francis' pandering to every religion and special interest group under the sun that has led to this?  Maybe he has driven them to Protestantism, Mohammedanism, or Talmudic Judaism?  Is all the hullabaloo concerning Francis only being driven by the establishment medias?  If you have a theory, please share it in the comments below.

Thanks to the intrepid Antonio Socci for bringing this to our attention.

doves are out & balloons are in!

 Francis loves balloon!

At the Sunday Angelus, Francis had balloons released as a sign of peace.  The balloons replaced two doves which were used in 2014.  Those two doves made world news as one was attacked by a crow and the other by a seagull.  At this point, we at Call Me Jorge... could care less what the loquacious Francis had to say.  We will warn readers that at last year's event he prayed for peace in the Ukraine.  Soon after, things went downhill in that country.  So expect similar things resulting from this year's plea.

2014's release of the 'peace' doves

The dove is a symbol of the Holy Ghost and in modern times a symbol of peace.

The crow, a trickster as well as the bird sent out by Noah to search for land never to return to the ark, attacks one of the doves.

A seagull, attacks the other dove.  The seagull is like Francis in that , he flies into a picnic uninvited, eats all the food, goes to the bathroom, and leaves the mess for someone else to clean up after he flies away.

2015's release of the 'peace' balloons

Francis, like a balloon, is full of hot air!

Francis meets with fellow usurer & numerologist, Christine Lagarde

Francis is always droning on and on about the poor, unemployment, starvation, and a whole slew of pet causes.  One thing you'll never hear out of his mouth is that usury is evil.  All those pet causes Francis loves to push are symptoms of usury.  At least some in the "peace loving" religion of Islam still understand this.  When Lagarde visited Egypt to further indebt the country to the IMF, politician Younis Makhyoun of the Salafi Nour Party said,

“God will never bless an economy based on usury.”

If only there were people in the West who understood this simple fact.  Instead we have Francis listening to Muhammad Yunus, a Bangladeshi Moslem, who is a proponent of micro-usury and fittingly also a supporter of sodomy.  And the Vatcian through its IOR and related foundations urges usury for the poor as a solution.

Just so the readers of this blog can see how different the head of the IMF, Christine Lagarde is from the run of the mill Roman Catholic, one can watch this excerpt from her speech at the National Press Club on the magic number “7” and numerology.

The Magic number “7” references:

1:22 – “Now I’m going to test your numerology skills by asking you to think about the magic seven”
1:34 – “Most of you will know that seven is quite a number
2:24 – “2014, you drop the zero, fourteen, two times, seven”
4:08 – “It will mark the 70th anniversary, 70th anniversary, drop the zero, seven, of the Bretton Woods Conference that actually gave birth to the IMF” (7 + 0 = 7)
4:22 – “And it will be the 25th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall, 25th..” (2 + 5 = 7)
4:38 – “It will also mark the 7th anniversary of the financial market jietters”
5:08 – “After those seven miserable years, weak and fragile”
5:14 – “We have seven strong years”
5:43 – “Now I don’t know if the G7 will have anything to do with it” (G is also the 7th letter of the alphabet)

“2014” references:

1:18 – “The global economy and what we should expect for 2014″
2:19 – “So if we think about 2014″
2:24 – “2014, you drop the zero, fourteen, two times, seven”
3:54 – “So 2014 will be a milestone and hopefully a magic year in may respects”
5:05 – “So my hope and my wish for 2014″

If the reader is so inclined they can watch the whole presentation at the National Press Club below.



Numerology has long been significant to the Cryptocracy and we don't think it is very much of a stretch to guess Francis is into this as much as Christine is. 

Francis & the number “13”

Will Francis attend the 22nd Edition of the Christmas Concert?

The Christmas Concert (Concerto di Natale) began life as Christmas at the Vatican (Natale in Vaticano) in 1993.  For its first thirteen years it was held in the Paul VI Hall.  This changed in 2006 with Benedict XVI as he no longer considered the concert acceptable.  Why he didn't shut the concert down if it was inappropriate is another question.  The Christmas Concert bounced around from venue to venue until 2011 when it found its present home at the Auditorium Conciliazione of Rome (Auditorium della Conciliazione di Roma) which is right down the street from St. Peter's Basilica.

Each year the concert has been held the proceeds go to benefit one cause or another.  This year the tickets start at € 75.00 and go up to € 250.00 and the cause the Worldwide Don Bisco Foundation is pushing is called "NIÑOS DE PLOMO" or "Children of Lead".  The "Children of Lead" project will educate children and adolescents about the dangers of lead in the Peruvian slums of Puerto Nuevo, in Callao, the port of Lima which happens to be heavily contaminated with lead.

As you peruse the list of musicians below consider that Francis approves of all of them by letting this concert take place.  Don't think for an instant Francis couldn't put a stop to Suor Cristina singing at this Christmas Concert or Patti Smith or dance music DJ Bob Sinclar or the concert being canceled entirely all-together.  Sadly, the show will go on.

Singing at this year's Christmas Concert are the following musicians:

• Patti Smith (USA)
• Bob Sinclar (France)
• Steve Edwards (UK)
• Ce Ce Rogers (USA)
• Renzo Arbore (ITALY)
• Alessandra Amoroso (ITALY)
• Sugarpie & The Candymen (ITALY)
• Imany (FRANCE)
• Dolcenera (ITALY)
• Chiara Galiazzo (ITALY)
• Sister Cristina (ITALY)
• The Winx Club of the Winx Musical Show (ITALY)
• Mariella Nava (ITALY)
• Alice Mondia (SWITZERLAND)
• Ronda (ITALY)
• Every Praise  Gospel Choir featuring David Bratton
• Voice Art Academy
• Children's Choir of the Theater of Opera of Rome, conducted by Maestro Sciutto

As one can see the musicians come from all disciplines ranging from punk rock to gospel music to dance club disc jockeys.  The Winx Club is an Italian animated cartoon with witches, fairies, and wizards.  We believe the regular readers of Call Me Jorge... are already familiar with Suor Cristina so if you are not familiar search this blog for her.  We predict Suor Cristina will sing her rendition of Madonna Ciccone's "Like A Virgin" at this show.  The choice of a musician that interests us for this concert is someone who also sang at the 2013 Edition and was asked back.  This is none other than the "Godmother of Punk", Patti Smith.  See dear reader, Patti has an interesting past and like Elton John, she is a huge fan of Francis.  She can remain as radical and anti-Catholic as she wants and still be a guest of the Novus Ordo church and get to visit with Francis.  Here is what we posted about Patti in our entry, Jorge meets punk-rocker Patti Smith,

Jorge had punk-rocker Patti Smith in his V.I.P. area at his general audience with the public at St. Peter’s Square. She is famous for singing a poem at the beginning of the song Gloria. The lyrics are as follows:

Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine
Meltin' in a pot of thieves
Wild card up my sleeve
Thick heart of stone
My sins my own
They belong to me, me

It is not known what the two discussed but Patti said she, “liked him a lot" and found him "very interesting.” The blasphemous pop star Madonna has referred to Patti as a major inspiration in her career. Patti is currently on tour singing and has a museum display, at the Contemporary Arts Center of Cincinnati, USA , which is a tribute to the life and death of the pedophile homosexual Robert Mapplethorpe.

Is this what Jorge means when the church should go out among the poor and those on the fringes?

A little on Patti's background, she was raised a Jehovah Witness and said,

"My sister is still Jehovah's Witness. We talk all the time. I like to keep abreast of what she's doing and what she believes in. I believe there is good in in all religions. But religion, politics and business, all of these things, have been so corrupted and so infused with power that I really don't have interest in any of it – governments, religion, corporations. But I do have interest in the human condition." 

According to author Steven Lee Beeber in The Heebie-Jeebies at CBGB’s:  A Secret History of Jewish Punk, Patti flirted with Talmudic Judaism and seriously considered converting.  Beeber also said "no holocaust, no punk" and "that many of the early punks were influenced by the Jewish humor tradition as revolutionized by Lenny Bruce, and that quite a few of them, Jewish or not, had a striking interest in…the Nazis."

Recently, Patti wrote and sang the theme to the movie Noah by Darren Aronofsky.  This movie cavalierly tosses aside the Biblical Genesis and replaces it with a witches brew of Gnosticism, Kabbalah( Zohar), and Rabbinical Jewish myths.  Patti said she was qualified because, "I felt that between my biblical knowledge and my love of lullabies, I could do it."



We at Call Me Jorge... believe that the above information about Patti Smith even though it only scratches the surface is more than enough to make a judgement call about whether or not she should be invited to sing at a concert in honor of the Birth of Our Savior.  Without further ado here are the songs she sang at the 2013 concert.  Were they befitting for this evening?

"Because the Night" Patti Smith  

"People Have the Power" Patti Smith  

"O'Holy Night" Patti Smith  

If one so wishes to see the concert in its entirety, click this link which you take you to the playlist of the concert on youtube.

We wonder will Suor Cristina and Patti Smith sing a duet?  Will Suor Cristina's dream of meeting Francis come true?  There is no word yet, if Francis will show for the Christmas Concert.  Considering his past history of skipping two concerts at the Vatican's Paul VI Hall and the canceling of another concert due to embarrassment of him not showing for the previous mentioned concerts in his honor, we doubt if he will attend.  Oh, and we forgot to mention he didn't show up at last year's Christmas Concert either.  One will either have to attend the 13 December 2014 Christmas Concert or wait until Christmas Eve when is it broadcasted on television to find out.
