Spirit of Judas Iscariot - Alive and Well
"The Vatican said June 29 that overcoming world poverty is hindered by 'a certain poverty of imagination among the more fortunate peoples of the world.'" This was the leading line in a June 30 'Catholic News Service' article titled, "Vatican: 'Poverty of Imagination' Hinders Efforts to End Real Poverty."
The United Nations Economic and Social Council is now holding meetings, and Vatican representatives are there to agitate for more money from what they euphemistically call the "international community." Translated - this means the American taxpayer!
After all, Roman Catholicism is well practiced in the art of being compassionate with "other people's" money.
The Roman Church is NOT interested in ending poverty (see Latin America for the past 500 years) but in only draining away US resources, and looking "compassionate" to the third world in the process.
The bible says in John 12:4-6:
"Then saith one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray Him, 'Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?' This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein."
Jesus rightly said to Judas in John 12:8a, "For the poor always ye have with you," because poverty is not caused by a lack of spending money - it is caused by the sin in our world. By saying we can "end real poverty," the Vatican not only denies that this world has a SIN problem, but also plainly denies the words of Jesus Christ.
The pope, in a way, IS an apostolic successor. Question - But which apostle? Answer - Judas Iscariot! Judas was trying to "end real poverty" 2000 years ago, and so are his Catholic successors today.
Let us do good to the poor as the Lord brings such situations into our lives, not when the Vatican wants to use the UN to rob us. And may God protect us from - the thieves in the Roman Catholic Church.
