“Democracy extends the sphere of individual freedom, socialism restricts it. Democracy attaches all possible value to each man; socialism makes each man a mere agent, a mere number. Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.” -- Alexis de Tocqueville
Pope Francis has once again sparked immense controversy with his widely perceived liberalizing policies and ambiguity related to hotly contested moral issues, this time angering conservative Catholics by appearing to soften the Vatican's longtime ban on blessing gay couples, as a Wall Street Journal headline revealed this week.
If you want to see the real poison at play in the methodology of deconstruction, look at it in the context of illegal and mass immigration in the western world.

It's official. This pope is nuts, and if there was any doubt that the apostate rot that has been the papacy for the last 1,000 years (if you're Orthodox), or 500 years (if you're Anglican or Protestant), or 142 years since Vatican I when Pius IX made himself infallible has reached the point of no return, when what was once Roman Catholicism is no longer concerned with teaching Roman Catholicism, but embracing every trendy fad of "public policy wonks" and technocrats, then this story shared by K.M. might serve to dispel any lingering doubts:
Bill Clinton and Pope Francis have joined forces to urge world leaders to pursue human depopulation as a strategy for saving the planet from so-called “global boiling.“
The pope held talks with the former President this week to lay out their plans for meeting the WEF’s “Net Zero” goals.
The two unelected public officials said it was the “moral duty” of all governments worldwide to ramp up their efforts in fighting the “climate change catastrophe.”
