VIDEO DESCRIPTION:

Pope Francis focused his homily at Casa Santa Marta on greed, which destroys people as well as families, he said. The Pope added that money can bring about many good things, but only when people are not attached to it.

Pope Francis Denounces Greed: ‘It Makes You Sick’ (VIDEO)

By Justin "Filthy Liberal Scum" Rosario - October 23, 2013



Pope Francis ripped off the thin veneer of piety that the right-wing wraps its greed in. No, Jesus does NOT want you hoard money and leave the poor to die.

First Pope Francis calls right-wing Christian extremism a “sickness” and now this? After the sermon he just gave, Pope Francis is not going to be invited to CPAC anytime soon. In fact, if he keeps this up, he’ll become enemy #1 to the frothing nuts on the right.

Let’s be honest, the right-wing centers on greed. In the 80?s, Reagan and Gordon Gecko codified the idea that “greed is good.” Since then, conservatives have lived as if your worth can only be measured by how much you’re worth. You were only as good as the size of your McMansion or how low the gas mileage on you Hummer is. Money stopped becoming a means to an end. It became the end in and of itself. All the while, conservatives swore on a stack of heavily edited Bibles that they loved The Jesus. And for the last 30 years, the entire world suffered for it.

But Pope Francis is not interested in Reaganomics nor is Pope Francis interested in false piety. No, Pope Francis is interested in the message of Jesus. Curiously, this message stands in direct opposition to everything conservatives stand for...

1. Redo the poll

It allowed me one (1) choice for the entire poll.

Also, "I love Latin hymns" and "I hate Latin hymns" is a good example of the False Dilemma, since I love some Latin hymns and hate others.

2. I'm not aware of multiple-choice answers

being an allowed choice due to the way DU's software does polls. Might have to take that up with the administrators.

8. He made his choice, no Christmas music, period. Latin had nothing to do with it.

I'm not sure what this group is about anymore. So I'll post at other groups that are more welcoming. Bye.

11. I would ask you reconsider and not let a lone member chase you off.

[freshwest]

12. I'm eliminating the poll from the OP. EOM.

I am not being 'chased off.' I don't have time for this.

3. Conservatives are most definitely condemned :)

And I don't mind Christmas music. I listen to some of it on soma fm, too, especially the irreverent/funny stuff

Three Christmas channels on soma fm:

Christmas Rocks!
Have your self an indie/alternative holiday season!
Indie/Alternative meets traditional/classic rock'n'roll music all about the holidays. From The Beach Boys and Bob Dylan to Belle & Sebastian and Sufjan Stevens, make your holiday season rock this year. Uncensored, but shouldn't be offensive to anyone but the most uptight haters of rock'n'roll.

Christmas Lounge
Chilled holiday grooves and classic winter lounge tracks. (Kid and Parent safe!)
For fans of Groove Salad, Lush and downtempo/lounge music fans in general, this is the perfect holiday radio. Christmas classics redone in a chilled-out manner make for a stress-free holiday.

Xmas in Frisko
SomaFM's wacky and eclectic holiday mix. Not for the easily offended.
For people who hate traditional holiday music. From the offensive, raunchy and nasty to the silly and childish, a mix of music for Hanukkah, Kwanza, Winter Solstice and of course Christmas. You'll probably get in trouble if you listen out loud at the office, but it might be worth it just to offend your annoying co-workers.

end advertisement (advertisements never end!)

5. Conservatives are definitely on the outs with the gospel, JMHO

6. Oh, I understand :)

I just like to share those links when I can, because I don't always share the same groups as everyone else, either.

Any Christmas music is appropriate here, so long as it isn't disrespectful. There's plenty of truly good music in this genre that isn't the irreverent/silly stuff, and yet quite popular or listen-able. The lounge-kind comes to mind first from my links above.

I'll have to listen to yours later as I'm off to see some friends have their 25th anniversary show for their folk-rock band, The Flying Fish Sailors

4. Please post as much music as you can. I intend to post Advent music.

[No Vested Interest]

9. Yes, Christmas music in moderation - ca 1-3 per day.

Spread them out, please, so we're not overwhelmed and then nothing. Please note what will be played, so we don't waste time with ones we're not so fond of and can go directly to the good'uns.

I'm not overly fond of Gregorian chant; prefer the more melodious tones.

10. Don't worry, I won't be posting any here.
