Pope Francis apologizes to Canada’s indigenous.
For the Catholic Church’s involvement or indifference.
Basically, to the forced assimilation into a White Christian Nation.
How is what’s happening in America today different from then?
When many in the GOP, who are Christians, have been minimizing people’s worth.
Taking away their Rights including that to vote.
Silencing their voices as they try to explain their point of view.
Denying them their truth.
When their aim is not to hurt society.
But to bring honesty and face reality.
The righteous right claim that CRT is false and gay is against God.
So they permit and justify for only THEIR movement forward.
Many in US choose to vote for the Party that harbors cruel and corrupt.
Take away from US, liberties that make US a democracy.
Because they loathe complying and sacrificing for collective needs.
They cater to personal and win political.
Even if it means dismantling truth.
Delegitimizing real news.
Denying Rights.
Encouraging culture and civil fights.
They attack immigrants, gender identity and gay.
Promote lies and conspiracies that they’re being “replaced”.
Historians say, no they warn –
The world has seen this list before.
From fascist regimes.
Genocide teams.
Will Americans and religious repeat?
What role will Christians play – again?
But this time, it’s not limited to genocide.
It’s to the melding of minds to their mold.
On that Christianity has already claimed victory and grabbed gold.
The world has seen atrocities and war before.
To the claim of religion and to the “love” of God.
Why repeat? – So God can continue to forgive?
As Capitalists, give God business?
Why is it when it’s live and in real time the religious heads don’t see?
Instead they stay silent and allow history to repeat.
Having a God that’s cruel, normalizes and justifies their cruelty.
Makes their alternative facts and what they perceive, reality.
The sins of Man being pinned on God.
Not as the Savior but as the doer.
Another Big Lie to which many attach.
How on earth can Faith match with that?
Only by the way, truth, and light of alternative facts.
The Founding Fathers voted for separation of Church and State.
But as of late, Conservatives, through the Supreme Court and other GOP leads defy.
As long as it’s Christians and Christianity to gain the prize.
Waive guilt, shame and sin.
To those who use God’s name or do in the name of Jesus’ coming.
Placate and protect those who abuse.
Permit and excuse.
Not to forgive, but to join in the sin.
Not rally with, but against the victims.
That’s the new mold that many Christians and other Americans hold.
An indication of dysfunction.
Not a reflection of faith.
Difficult to acknowledge, when lies, conspiracies and alternative facts dictate.
In the name of the Lord.
For the true love of God – Show compassion!
As a religious, Republican or human.
In many religions, the power is to all, through love.
Not so with cults.
Which are more about the leaders who set them up.
Easy to fall into that rut.
If they could show an ounce of care.
Reduce on damn and fear.
Add to their hollow “thoughts and prayers”.
It’s only been lip service all around, even to babies and children.
Their consistency has been to feed their greed.
Gain power, especially power to lead.
In this climate, Catholics have also been rising.
And despite the atrocities many have stayed indifferent or silent.
To the forcing of Christian wills and wants –
More apologies to come.
