The Pope’s Galileo

Pope Benedict was recently prevented from delivering an address at La Sapienza University by Leftist faculty and student protests. They were upset that he was going to deliver an address supposedly defending the Catholic Church’s trial and conviction of Galileo.

David Warren writes about this linking it to "witch-hunting spirit of "political correctness"" prevalent at universities as well as to "Human rights" ... kangaroo courts, free speech, ....

It’s an excellent read. What I found most interesting, though, was Mr. Warren’s update telling readers that the Pope’s address to La Sapienza is now available in English - and it "does not even mention Galileo."

I, & most of the rest of the world media, fell for the imaginings of the
people I compare to "howler monkeys" ...


Of course this doesn’t alter the validity of Mr. Warren’s arguments a bit. And the upside of the whole sad episode of the Pope's being hounded off the campus is that it helps expose the university for the illiberal, post-modern, rat’s nest that it is; and, the Pope’s address will be far more widely read than it would have otherwise.

Update: From Doug Newton in the comments another take from Edward Michael George.

Yo JR ,

What if you're all dead wrong and 2 Thessalonians 2:11 is in the so-called "New Testament" as a direct and purposeful warning to Christians about the dangers of money, religion, and politics (a.k.a. three strong delusions (unclean/foul spirits...))? How will you make amends to ME (and everyone else) for worshipping lies and helping the great deceiver(s) to oppress the poor and innocent?

Time is indeed short!

Religion is Philosophy and Spirituality by FlimFlam !!!

It is beyond amazing that these "snakes in fancy clothing" still have the gall to continue to defend the abomination that was/is the Inquisition. Now we have a Grand Inquisitor Pope (a.k.a., Glory of the Olives...) who personally defends much of the Vatican-Papacy's most heinous and despicable activities.

Why does anyone need anymore proof that religious leaders are lying through their teeth to save their own skins? Christianity has been decisively proven to be a Roman deception, and they know the end is nigh!!

Speaking of more proof...

Here is comprehensive proof that the symbolism of many ancient texts, canons, and concepts is an advanced and extremely ancient spiritual & philosophical technology that predates all extant religions and mystery schools. Consequently, here is proof, beyond disproof, that all three so-called "Faiths of Abraham" are purposeful deceptions.

Here is Wisdom...

Peace...

Yikes! Wrong about what?

Edward Michael George has some additional information that makes the whole affair even more laughable - if it wasn't so pathetic that is.
