Pope Francis Slams Anti-Lockdown Rallies, Praises Black Lives Matter Protests
Head of Catholic Church defends radical-left BLM protesting
Jay Greenberg | Neon Nettle – Pope Francis has denounced those demonstrating against draconian COVID-19 lockdown measures but heaped praise on the radical-left Black Lives Matter protests.
The head of the Catholic Church defended the pro-Marxist BLM protests that unfolded in the wake of George Floyd’s death, despite much of the protesting descending into violent rioting, mindless destruction, and looting.
Francis decried police brutality as an affront to human dignity, even encouraging people to march in opposition, in a new book, “Let Us Dream.”
“Abuse is a gross violation of human dignity that we cannot allow and which we must continue to struggle against,” the Roman pontiff wrote, as reported by Fox News.
Regarding the protests against the COVID-19 lockdowns around the world, the pope was less enthusiastic.
He accused anti-lockdown protesters of striking against “measures that governments must impose for the good of their people constitute some kind of political assault on autonomy or personal freedom!”
Pope Francis praised Black Lives Matter protests but ignored the violence and rioting
The Christian leader got even more direct by comparing the two groups of people, failing to note that the Black Lives Matter protests gave way to riots and looting in the streets, according to The Daily Wire.
Anti-lockdown protests do not appear to sparked similar widespread violence, at least in the United States.
“You’ll never find such people protesting the death of George Floyd, or joining a demonstration because there are shantytowns where children lack water or education,” he wrote.
“They turned into a cultural battle what was in truth an effort to ensure the protection of life.”
In another segment, Pope Francis decried those in the media who “used this crisis to persuade people that foreigners are to blame, that the coronavirus is little more than a little bout of flu, and that restrictions necessary for people’s protection amount to an unjust demand of an interfering state.”
“There are politicians who peddle these narratives for their own gain,” he wrote.
“But they could not succeed without some media creating and spreading them.”
Pope Francis also expressed empathy for those sick with COVID-19, citing his own health experiences when he had one of his lungs removed in his youth.
“I know from experience the feeling of those who are sick with coronavirus, struggling to breathe as they are attached to a ventilator,” he said.
“For months I didn’t know who I was, if I would live or die, even the doctors didn’t know,” he added.
“I remember hugging my mother one day and asking her if I was about to die.”
As reported by The Daily Wire, Pope Francis met with NBA players this past Monday to discuss social justice activism in sports.
“A delegation of NBA players and executives from their union met with Pope Francis at the Vatican on Monday as training camps are set to open next week and a new season is scheduled to tip-off in less than a month,” reported The Daily Wire.
“The private gathering was reportedly initiated by His Holiness and hurriedly planned.
“According to a statement issued by the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) afterward, ‘the meeting provided an opportunity for the Players to discuss their individual and collective efforts addressing social and economic justice and inequality occurring in their communities.’”
If you go to the store to buy Meat, don't run to the Milk section or the Junk Food aisle looking for it!!
The Meat Section is the True Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Milk Section is likened to those who will not preach on sin and Hell, just a feel good message, the Social gospel.
The Junk Food Isle is the outright false doctrine AKA the prosperity gospel, name it and claim it, the Hebraic Roots movement and other false teachings!!
Feasting on just Milk and Junk will eventually cause you great harm, you can count on it!!
