Once again, I leave it to Mundabor to articulate the outrage I feel, this time reading about the pope saying two days ago that
'God dreams of the transformation of the world" (A parallel construction to his maudlin and false "I dream of a missionary church,
yada, yada yada...' in Evangelii gaudium), to which my initial reaction was to remark"A measure of Bergoglio's hubris is that
he increasingly projects his personality and thinking on God!"
The “dreamer God”
according to a bonkers pope
May 18, 2017
In his catechesis during the General Audience on Wednesday, Pope Francis called God in the grammatical present “a dreamer who dreams about the transformation of the world”. At the same time he claimed that God “has realized the transformation of the world in the mystery of the resurrection.”
This is drunk nonsense even for by the standards of this pope.
God in His Providence has made the world the way the world it is supposed to be made. Whatever sinfulness there is in it, God providentially allowed it in order to make a greater good emerge out of it. God has not created a faulty toy of which He dreams it would work properly. God does not sigh about a perfect world whilst he listens to John Lennon’s “Imagine”.
God is not only Omniscient, but Omnipotent. There is no “dreaming” in Him.
There is no separation between what things are and what He would have them to be, if He only could. God has allowed the Fall as He has allowed all the rest, from the Holocaust to… Pope Francis.
The Death and Resurrection of Our Lord, which the man mentions without having any idea of what he is talking about, is exactly the way through which this faulty existence and fallen nature – which will by no means go away - is given the possibility of redemption.
It isn’t the shaping of a new earth. It isn’t a promise of an earth in which hounds and foxes say “good night” to each other before going to sleep. It isn’t the promise of a paradise on earth.
On the contrary, Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life we must follow exactly because of the fundamental flaw we had since birth: Original Sin. The reality of Original Sin is not going to change. Therefore, the reality of evil is not going to go away, either.
The reality of sinfulness due to the Fall has been, once again, allowed by God, with all the consequences and all the sins, all the injustices and all the atrocities from the beginning to the end of time.
Dreams of fundamental transformation of this world are the most obvious indication of lack of faith in the next one.
What we once again see here is an ...... old bloke who never understood jack of anything Catholic and keeps going around spreading sugary nonsense for adolescent cretins like, no doubt, he once was (he is not an adolescent anymore).
There is in him no concept whatsoever of Providence. There is clearly no belief in the Original Sin. Therefore, there is no explanation for the evil in the world. On the contrary, t
here is this completely bonkers idea of God standing there like a spot-plagued teenager, dreaming of a better world. This is part of the humanisation and banalisation of absolutely everything that has been a trademark of this disgraceful Papacy.
“Imagine” was an openly atheist song. It had to be, as the Christian vision of the world and of the fallen human nature is radically opposed to Lennon’s and Francis’s idea of radical transformation of the human being, and of the possibility of creating a paradise of social justice and harmony on earth, if he only 'behaved'.
There will always be injustice, there will always be conflict, there will always be evil in the world. At the root of the evil is not human laziness, but the serpent.
The reality of the Fall will be part of the human condition for as long as the world exists. All this escapes Francis. He is aligned with John Lennon instead.
Francis is ...clearly either an atheist or a person so confused about God that he thinks Him a sort of Dalai Lama In The Sky, prisoner of all sort of sentimental rubbish.
The ignorance of this man should be an embarrassment to every Catholic. Unfortunately, it seems that around 6000 bishops prefer to keep schtum about it, lest their career should suffer.
