Cardinals conclave tomorrow, May 7 to elect a new Pople

It is more fun criticizing

Over 100  Cardinals all over the world meet in a conclave tomorrow to elect a new Pope.   It is going to be a battle between the conservative (the purist) and those who are progressive - pro Pope Francis.  This is exemplefied by the Cardinals Tagle, a Filipino who professes pro Francis tenets of compassion, kindness, and progessive relevant policies for the new World.  Cardinal Becker on the other hand profess the truth -  the Doctrines.  Such clash of principles and values is common in other religious organization.  

Now the Pope has to be elected by 2/3 majority vote.  The sign that the conclave has elected a new Pope is the white smoke from the smokestack of Sistine chapel.  A black smoke means none has been elected yet.

Can we Christians naively believe that our love and compassion towards Muslims will be repaid in the same manner?

Philippines

Everytime there is a bombing or acts of terrorism by extremist, all we could is to condemn the killings and pray for the victims and the dead, and probably the perpetrators.  At the end of the day, we do no nothing. Perhaps, the perpetrators will be caught. That is police work, or probably that of the military and we hope the extremists will stop.  Several months later the cycle repeats and the extremists are it again with suicide bombings..  A woman at Brussels was interviewed and she said why is the city being attacked;  why are they being included; they have nothing to do with those who carried out the bombing.

1.  We can not naively believe that because their religion instructs them to do so.   Non believers, the infidels are all subject to jihad.  The Islam Q uran states

9:123 "O you who believe, fight those of the unbelievers near you and let them see how harsh you can be. Know that Allah is with the righteous." 

2.  The ISIS has declared war vs the Vatican, and of course the Christians:


ISIS has now declared war on the Vatican in their manifesto, which contains numerous details on their plans to invade Rome. In their manifesto they quote one of ISIS’ spokesman Shaykh Abū Muhammad al-’Adnānī ash-Shāmī as saying:
O soldiers of the Islam- ic State, be ready for the final campaign of the crusaders. Yes, by Allah’s will, it will be the final one. Thereafter, we will raid them by Allah’s per- mission and they will not raid us… And so we promise you (crusaders) by Allah’s permission that this campaign will be your final campaign. It will be broken and defeated, just as all your previous campaigns were broken and defeated, except that this time we will raid you thereafter, and you will never raid us. We will conquer your Rome, break your crosses, and enslave your women, by the permission of Allah, the Exalted. This is His prom- ise to us; He is glorified and He does not fail in His promise. If we do not reach that time, then our children and grandchildren will reach it, and they will sell your sons as slaves at the slave market

3.  Islam is a religion of intolerance:  of hate and paranoia vs non believers

Islam, a religion of Peace?

    61 % of its verses addressed to non believers are very negative.

Thanks for the generosity and compassion

Social and political criticisms



News has it that there are shortages of sardines, noodles, bottled water and other necessities being bought in bulk by foundations and compassionate individuals to deliver to evacuation centers.  There was no need to appeal and to enjoin the more fortunate to assist.

We are in this together.  And with this, we shall overcome, though how deep the floodwaters may be or how long it will take to recede.

Nothing can dampen the Filipino spirit.  Mabuhay
