The Pope Video — Season 3 Episode 4

When one’s role is to sell stories and tell lies to people, one begins to believe them both. In this latest installment of The Pope Video, Francis blathers on about the economy, while ignoring the role of money creation (created out of thin air by the banks; Can banks individually create money out of nothing? — The theories and the empirical evidence); says once again that man is first, instead of God; states something along the line that if everyone joined together and gave dignified work to each other the economy would take off, while conveniently ignoring the elephant of usury in the room — in fact Francis wants to expand usury to the already material poor; and ends the video by encouraging economists to make everything better, economists are as effective as the witch-doctors Francis brings to the Vatican — both are good at impressing their peers in their occupations and nothing else.  Thankfully, it will be another month until Francis subjects the public to another one of these videos.

Francis does interview #3 gazillion with his favorite atheist

BOMBS AWAY!!!

Uh oh, another Francis interview with the revolutionary atheist, Eugenio Scalfari.  We can already hear the conservatives in the Novus Ordo lamenting...it doesn’t count!  Scalfari doesn’t take notes or record his interviews, he does them all from memory!  Well, whoopee!  Isn’t it possible that Scalfari is 100% accurate with his published interviews, after all the man might possess a phenomenal photographic memory.  Even if he doesn’t, Francis keeps going back to Eugenio Scalfari for interview after interview after interview ad nauseam.  And remember, Francis has also repeatedly stated that the only newspaper which he reads every day is La Repubblica where Scalfari often publishes his pieces with Francis.  So the Novus Ordo conservatives can’t play the Francis is ignorant damage control card.  Without further ado, we present Scalfari’s interview with Francis below.  This interview was published on 11 November 2016 in La Repubblica and also in the L'Osservatore Romano of 12 November 2016 on page 5.

Pope Francis: "Trump? I do not judge. I care only if he makes the poor suffer"
In his encounter with Eugenio Scalfari the Pope urges Catholics to become engaged in politics again: "Not for power but to tear down walls and inequalities"

Eugenio Scalfari — 11 novembre 2016

I AM WRITING this article the day after Donald Trump's unexpected election victory over Hillary Clinton. But my topic is not what has happened in America but a long-awaited invitation for a meeting with Pope Francis. I had a long phone call with him the previous week because His Holiness wanted to discuss the visit that he would have three days later in Sweden with the Lutheran World Federation and the reform that gave rise to the Lutheran churches half a millennium ago. I refer to this conversation just to explain that although I am honoured to receive frequent phone calls from Pope Francis, we have not met in person for over a year. So I was very pleased to receive his invitation.

We met on Monday 7th and were together for over an hour. Two days earlier, on Saturday 5th, the Pope had met with representatives of the Popular Movements. These are movements with hundreds of thousands of adherents in the main Christian countries. Pope Francis’s speech to these volunteers of the faith takes up six pages of [Vatican daily] L'Osservatore Romano. Of course, when we met two days later, I had already read the full text of that speech. I have often written that Francis is a revolutionary, but this was beyond revolution... And now let's see how and why.

***

We embraced each other after a long time. “You look well,” he said.

You also look well, despite your continuing hardships.
«It is the Lord who decides.»

And “our sister bodily death”.
“Yes, bodily.”

The conversation was immediately profound.

Your Holiness - I asked him - what do you think of Donald Trump?
“I do not pass judgment on people and politicians, I simply want to understand the suffering that their approach causes the poor and excluded”.

What is your main concern at the moment?
“The question of refugees and immigrants. Only a small proportion of them are Christians, but this does not change the situation as far as we are concerned, or their suffering and distress. The causes are many and we are doing everything possible to remove them. Unfortunately, often these policies are opposed by populations that are afraid of losing jobs and of lower wages. Money is against the poor as well as against immigrants and refugees, but there are also poor people in rich countries who fear the arrival of their fellows from poor countries. It is a vicious circle and it must be broken. We must break down the walls that divide us: we must try to increase well-being and make it more widespread, but to achieve this we need to break down walls and build bridges that allow us to reduce inequality and increase freedom and rights. More rights and greater freedom".

I asked Pope Francis if the reasons that force people to emigrate will be exhausted sooner or later. It is hard to understand why a man, a family or entire communities and peoples want to abandon their homeland, the places where they were born, their language.

You, Your Holiness, through those bridges, will facilitate the re-uniting of those desperate people, but inequalities are born in rich countries. There are laws that try to reduce the gap but they do not have much effect. Will this phenomenon never end?
“You have written and spoken several times about this problem. One of the phenomena that inequality encourages is the movement of peoples from one country to another, from one continent to another. After two, three, four generations, these peoples are integrated and their diversity tends to completely disappear".

I call it a universal miscegenation in the positive sense of the term.
“Bravo, that is the right word. I do not know if it will be universal but it will be more prevalent than today. What we want is a battle against inequality, this is the greatest evil that exists in the world. It is money that creates it and that goes against those measures that try to make wealth more widespread and thus promote equality".

You told me some time ago that the precept, “Love your neighbour as thyself” had to change, given the dark times that we are going through, and become “more than thyself.” So you yearn for a society where equality dominates. This, as you know, is the programme of Marxist socialism and then of communism. Are you therefore thinking of a Marxist type of society?
“It it has been said many times and my response has always been that, if anything, it is the communists who think like Christians. Christ spoke of a society where the poor, the weak and the marginalized have the right to decide. Not demagogues, not Barabbas, but the people, the poor, whether they have faith in a transcendent God or not. It is they who must help to achieve equality and freedom".

Your Holiness, I have always thought and written that you are a revolutionary and even a prophet. But it seems that now you would like the Popular Movements and especially the poor to enter directly into politics proper.
“Yes, that is correct. Not petty politics – squabbling over power, selfishness, demagogy, money – but higher, creative, politics, the politics of great visions. That which Aristotle wrote about".

I saw that in your speech to the Popular Movements last Saturday you called the Ku Klux Klan, and the similar but opposite Black Panthers, shameful movements.
But you said Martin Luther King was admirable. Was he another prophet who made an impression because of what he said in a free America?
“Yes, I quoted him because I admire him".

I read the quotation; I think it is worth recalling for those reading this account of our meeting.

“When you rise to the level of love, of its great beauty and power, you seek only to defeat evil systems. Individuals who happen to be caught up in that system, you love, but you seek to defeat the system [...] hate for hate only intensifies the existence of hate and evil in the universe. If I hit you and you hit me and I hit you back and you hit me back and go on, you see, that goes on ad infinitum. It just never ends. Somewhere somebody must have a little sense, and that’s the strong person. The strong person is the person who can cut off the chain of hate, the chain of evil".

And now let’s return to politics and your wish that the poor and the excluded transform that politics into a democratic will to realise the ideals and the will of the popular movements. You advocated an interest in politics because it is Christ who wants it. “The rich must pass through the eye of a needle”. Christ wants it not because he is the son of God but above all because he is the son of man. But there will be a clash, power is at stake, and power, as you have said yourself, implies war. So popular movements must wage a war, albeit political, without weapons and without bloodshed?
“I have never thought of war and weapons. Blood yes, may be shed, but it will be Christians who are martyred, as is happening almost all over the world at the hands of fundamentalists and ISIS terrorist executioners. They are terrible and the Christians are their victims".

But you, Holy Father, know that many countries are also using weapons to defeat ISIS. Moreover, weapons are also being used by Jews against Arabs, and even amongst themselves.
“Well, it is not that kind of war that Christian popular movements must wage. We Christians have always been martyrs, yet our faith over the centuries has conquered much of the world. Of course, there have been wars supported by the Church against other religions, and there have even been wars within our religion. The most cruel was the St. Bartholomew’s Day massacre and unfortunately many similar events. But they occurred when the various religions, including ours, sometimes more than others, placed temporal power above faith and mercy".

Yet you, Your Holiness, encourage popular movements to enter politics.Those who enter into politics will inevitably clash with their opponents. It may be a peaceful conflict, but conflict there is, and history tells us that in the conflicts the conquest of power is at stake. Without power you cannot win.
“You are forgetting that there is also love. Often love convinces and thus wins. There are a billion and a half Catholics, eight hundred million Protestants of various denominations; three hundred thousand Orthodox Christians, then there are other denominations like Anglicans, Waldensians and Copts. All together there are two and a half billion Christian believers, perhaps more. Will it take weapons and wars? No. Martyrs? Yes, many".

And so you have gained power.
«We have spread the faith following the example of Jesus Christ. He was the martyr of martyrs and gave humanity the seed of faith. But I know better than to ask martyrdom of those who grapple with a politics oriented towards the poor, for equality and freedom. This politics is something different from faith and there are many poor people who have no faith. Nevertheless, they have urgent and vital needs, and we must support them as we support all the others. As we can and as we know".

As I listen to you, I am ever more convinced of my opinion of you: that papacies such as yours have been few and far between. But you have many opponents inside your Church.
“I would not call them opponents. Faith unites us all. Of course, all of us as individuals see the same things in different ways. Objectively the picture is the same, but subjectively it is different. We have said it many times, you and I".

Your Holiness, I have kept you too long and will leave you now.

At that point we said goodbye with an affectionate embrace. I told him to get some rest now and then and he replied: "You too should rest, because a non-believer like you should be as far from ‘bodily death’ as possible".
It was the 7 November.

the Holy See's finances...

...they practice triple entry bookkeeping!
  

...one for the public, 

another for the church,

and one for themselves.

Francis like Eva Peron wants to keep the money rolling!

• Catholic Herald, We’ve discovered hundreds of millions of euros off the Vatican’s balance sheet, says cardinal

The report the Vatican shows the public is its annual budget.  This is the non-profit part of the books which is expected to break even, sometimes it shows a small profit, but most often it shows a deficit.  The for-profit part of the Vatican's books is called the comprehensive annual financial report or something similar to it.  In this is listed all the assets of the Holy See, land, stocks, bonds, etc...  The kicker here is the Vatican depreciates many of their assets away so it appears as if they don't have the amount of assets that they possess in reality.  One example, the pension funds.  The assets controlled by the Vatican in the pension fund show up as assets but they deduct what they estimate they will have to pay out over say the next 50 years and subtract the whole amount now.  Viola you have a near-deficit!  With Francis bringing his revolution to the bookkeeping of Vatican finance don't expect transparent workings or full accountability.  All this is at the end of the day, is a power grab sold to the public as reform.  Expect those in the pews to continue to make-up the "short fall" for the foreseeable future.

"Don" Zuhl$dorf's sacrilegious and immoral blog post

There is a blogger on the internet who styles himself 'Fr. Z'.  On his blog, Fr. Z's Blog Once named: What Does The Prayer Really Say?, he recently told readers the Pope could order a priest to break the seal of confession!  The entry was titled, Seal of Confession under threat by the State: follow-up, and an achive of it can be read by clicking here.  Thankfully, the post has been pulled down since, but to our knowledge "Don" Zuhl$dorf didn't apologize to his readers nor to the author he quoted, Aaron Taylor, nor to either St. Thomas Aquinas or St. Augustine for his error.  There was no retraction. Instead, the story was removed from the blog and sent down the memory hole.  For more on this see Novus Ordo Wire's “Fr.” Zuhlsdorf: “Pope could give a Priest Permission to ‘Break’ the Seal of Confession”.  Reading this piqued our interest and we checked out this supposed religious blog.  Before we get to our critique of a recent entry written by "Don" Zuhl$dorf, a brief background on the man.   We are using the word "Don" instead of "Father" as Zuhlsdorf is incardinated in the Suburbicarian Diocese of Velletri-Segni in Italy.  For some strange reason "Don" Zuhl$dorf lives in the Diocese of Madison, Wisconson where he claims he is researching his doctoral thesis, blogging, and writing articles for publication.  If one is interested in what "Don" Zuhl$dorf has to say about himself on this matter, one can read this entry at his blog, Waiting for Zagano. 

A 3rd class relic being made?

Saint John Paul II performed the laying of hands on "Don" Zuhl$dorf in the Novus Ordo's New Rite of Ordination hence the quotation marks around the word Don.  "Don" Zuhl$dorf often jokes he is a 3rd class or is it 4th class or 5th class relic because of this. (See, 2nd miracle for John Paul II takes another step forward)  If this is correct, this would also make his classmate John Corapi a relic also as he was "ordained" in the same ceremony.  The 3rd class relic, Corapi, was under suspension by his superior for illlegal drug abuse, alcohol abuse, having an affair with a prostitute, and for violating his vow of poverty.  Corapi denied all the allegations and  resigned from the Novus Ordo church 17 June 2011.

I resigned because the process used by the church is grossly unjust, and, hence, immoral. I resigned because I had no chance from the beginning of a fair and just hearing. As I have indicated from the beginning of all this, I am not extinguished! If I were to commit to the suggestion of the society, then I would essentially crawl under a rock and wait to die.

We bring this up only to show the caliber of Zuhl$dorf's classmates and "Don" Zuhl$dorf like Corapi loves to live the high life. We add the $ to his name, Zuhlsdrof, because he is constantly seeking money for himself on his blog.  We cannot claim to be avid readers of "Don" Zuhl$dorf but do come across his writings from time to time and he is always pandering for money.  It is as if his calling is to earn money for himself through blogging and his hobby is to play "priest".

Shaking a saint's hand!

Now that we have covered the background, onto the disturbing post.  Call Me Jorge... read the entry, An Important Anniversary, which was supposedly announcing the 7th anniversary of Summorum Pontificum.  Dear reader, if you were to write a column on Summorum Pontificum how would you start it?  With a story about the Tridentine Mass or one about Benedict XVI?  Neither if you are "Don" Zuhl$dorf.  Let's look at a screenshot from his entry, An Important Anniversary.

Wait a minute!  Isn't this supposed to be about Summorum Pontificum?  Instead "Don" Zuhl$dorf is writing about the immoral movie of John Boorman.  For those who don't know about this film, Deliverance, it is infamous for its scene of sodomy.  Ever heard the quote "squeal like a pig" used?  It's from the same notorious scene.   As if that isn't bad enough, several people are also murdered in the film.  Why would a 'priest' blog about a piece of music from this film?  Why introduce your readers to a film this perverse?  Are there not other films having their anniversary this day?  This isn't the first time he has written of an immoral film in his blog.  Who could forget, The Lives of Others? Thankfully this time, "Don" Zuhl$dorf didn't put an amazon link to this film for his readers to purchase in the post.  One last thing about the clip "Don" Zuhl$dorf chose to embed on his website, it uses God's name in vain not once but twice!  This can be heard at the 3 minutes 59 seconds and the 4 minutes 6 seconds marks of the clip.  This man calls himself a priest?  What were they teaching in the seminary he attended?

Next he mentions Billie Jean King winning the 1972 Wimbledon Tennis Tournament.  What is so important to "Don" Zuhl$dorf about 42 years ago?  We could let this slide if it were not for his mention of Deliverance.   Billie Jean King is a pro-sodomite and pro-lesbian activist who openly lives the sinful life of a lesbian!  Again, why on a blog about religion is a 'priest' bringing up this stuff?   Why not prayers or something on the spiritual life?  Is "Don" Zuhl$dorf bringing readers closer to God by exposing them to items which could lead them into sin?  He seems to be hung up on sex as he also recently used sexual innuendo to sell generators in another post.  See, New Low for “Fr.” Zuhl$dorf: “Use Protection!” for more.

Next "Don" Zuhl$dorf talks about memories from his Lutheran childhood.  Playing chess, watching Julia Child cook, listening to NASA missions, meeting a baseball pitcher, riding bicycles, etc... filled the summer of '72 for "Don" Zuhl$dorf.  Why not choose another summer?  Were there not movies and tennis played in them?  Or better yet, could he have mentioned a great event from Church history which took place on this day or something from the life of a saint? 

Here is where "Don" Zuhl$dorf gets to the purpose of his blog post.  It is the 7th anniversary of Summorum Pontificum!  One would think a priest would write something about Summorum Pontificum and how he is grateful for it.  Oh, but "Don" Zuhl$dorf does not the way a pious person would!  Here is the sacrilegious photo he posted with his comments.

Does this convey respect?  Did he really chill Veuve Clicquot Brut NV champagene with Benedict XVI?  We don't think so but, who knows, maybe "Don" Zuhl$dorf imagined this in his mind and decided to photoshop his memory?  We ask again is this respectful of Benedict XVI?  It appears the book on the picnic table is a 1962 Altar Missal.  Was "Don" Zuhl$dorf not properly taught in the seminary what sacrilegious means?  

Sacrilegious behavior is acceptable in the Novus Ordo church!

We do have to applaud "Don" Zuhl$dorf for not linking to the Veuve Clicquot Brut NV.  At $55.00, (according to wine.com) he could have made a fat commission off of it.  The commision for the 1962 Altar Missal would have been even heftier as they retail in the ballpark around $285.00 (according to New Liturgical Movement).  We almost forgot, a cardboard cutout of Benedict XVI can be found on amazon for $50.00.  Either "Don" Zuhl$dorf was in a rush when he was writing the post or he couldn't find the items for sale on amazon to link to.  Who knows, could he have for once been showing restraint? 

Why did "Don" Zuhl$dorf put all these things together in a post?  We at Call Me Jorge... are really stretching it here to make this all fit together.  Is "Don" Zuhl$dorf saying that Summorum Pontificum was Deliverance from the Novus Ordo Missae he was ordained under?  If so, why not come out and say it?  Why not play a clip of communist Michael King, Jr. saying, "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!" ?  It makes about as much sense!



"Don" Zuhl$dorf is considered one of the star "priests" of the Novus Ordo church and is a perfect reflection of the man-made Novus Ordo Missae & the Second Vatican Council.  If you are looking for prayer or spiritual life "Don" Zuhl$dorf's blog isn't the place to go.  If you are looking to see where he is flying, what bigwigs he rubbed shoulders with at the Vatican, want to see photos of what gourmet meal he just consumed, know what books he is reading, ad nausea...  and to help him live this lifestyle by purchasing items he recommends such as coffee, generators, immoral movies, etc... on his blog - then it is the place for you.  One Catholic commentator wrote, "He shouldn't call himself Father Z. but Fr. Me!"

Zuhl$dorf like Francis is all about glorifying himself!
