Here's the tweet...."Honor of a lifetime to meet His Holiness Pope Francis. I leave the Vatican more determined than ever to pursue PEACE in our world." It's a typical President Trump tweet...inane. The two met in private and we do not know what was said in private but whatever it was conservatives would not want to hear it, for President Trump is abandoning almost on a daily basis the very people who took him off the cover of tabloids to the pages of academic journals and think tank white papers....and from addressing corporate television brass to a NATO summit.
Why do I write this? If you haven't figured it out by now....you will....eventually. President Donald Trump's mind has no borders. There is no structure to it. Candidate Trump was as a caterpillar....consuming solid food....but he has since turned into a butterfly.....leaving the solid plant food to draw liquid as from a straw from any source he can alight upon.....free to partake of the nectar of a beautiful flower or the liquids of rotting fruit or even a fetid swamp.
Jorge Mario Borgolio, now Pope Francis I, is a lifelong Leftist. This is why he hammers away at such things as the ruse of man-made global warming. I could see the president's comment being legitimate had a Mr. Trump met with Pope John Paul II who along with President Ronald Reagan were instrumental in the demise of the Soviet Union...not Communism... for Communism is alive and well...existing in it's new post-caterpillar stage in the likes of the Monarch Obama.
As customary, the two men exchanged gifts. President Trump presented Pope Francis with a set of first edition books by Martin Luther King Jr.; did Pope Francis wince for a moment when he read the first two words....Martin Luther? The president was given a medal signifying peace.
The following post from September of 2015. It's important to understand who the Jesuits are today, how and why Pope John Paul II opposed them, and what the implications are of a Jesuit pope.
The God Of Marxism
The Society of Jesus.....The Jesuits.....whose beginnings go back to 1535 with Inigo Lopez de Onaz y Loyola...or...Ignatius of Loyola........and who were from those beginnings sworn defenders of the Papacy.......these same Jesuits eventually became the chief opponents and antagonists of the Roman Catholic Pope. How did this happen? In the last 45 years one pope died after only a month in office, two pontiffs unsuccessfully fought the Jesuits tooth and nail and yet another traditionalist became the first pope in 500 years to resign from the office. His successor....the first Jesuit Pope!
Malachi Martin was a Jesuit and a Vatican insider. He was an author of numerous books that I'm not going to describe here because this topic is enough for one post. These books were best sellers and can easily be ordered but the one that you might want to start with is The Jesuits, The Society of Jesus and the Betrayal of the Roman Catholic Church. You may have to work a little to get a copy but it can be done.
The Jesuits is not an anti-Catholic book, for this battle is within the Roman Catholic church. Traditional Roman Catholicism shares many fundamental beliefs with orthodox Protestantism, and differs on many many other doctrines essential to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Orthodox Protestantism shares very little with the Jesuits. There may have been a commonality in the concern for the poor of this earth but the Jesuits are now more Marxist than Christian and Malachi Martin filled more than half of his book of over 500 pages giving evidence of this.
The United States went from Ronald Reagan to the Marxist Barack Obama in 20 years! The Roman Catholic church went from the virulently anti-communist John Paul II to the Jesuit Pope Francis in 8 years! Have you not noticed the various statements that Pope Francis has made in this short two year period that seem to challenge what even the traditional Roman Catholic church has always believed and taught? I have! I was raised Roman Catholic with twelve years of Catholic education and if I were still Catholic today I would hope that I would be raising objections wherever I could.
Martin lays out the contemporary scene for you in the first chapter titled The War. It begins with this statement..."A state of war exists between the papacy and the Religious Order of the Jesuits-the Society of Jesus, to give the Order its official name." He writes that the Jesuits are now..."enshrined in a totally new theology- the 'Theology of Liberation'..." He quotes John Paul II when upon meeting an "Indian Jesuit who, when he found was not a Marxist, exclaimed in surprise, 'So you're not all Marxists!'." Martin described the basis of this war thusly..."Marriage, homosexuality, business ethics, human liberty, piety, every sphere of human existence, were to be set adrift on the ever-changing tides of redefinition (of the Catholic Church.)"
This book was written in 1987 during the papacy of John Paul II and before the fall of the Berlin Wall and the USSR. Jorge Mario Bergoglio, now Pope Francis I, was a seminary professor in Argentina at the time that Martin wrote his book. The more that he speaks out as Pope, the more questions arise as to who he is and what he believes.
Malachi Martin writes..."Inigo founded his 'Company of Jesus' as he originally called it, for one purpose; to be defender of the Church and the papacy." This is the essence of his book, that the Jesuits have been transformed in the last 100 years from defenders of the Catholic Church and the Pope to defenders of Liberation Theology and Marxism. How similar this transformation is to Barack Obama and the United States of America and its Constitution!
Martin gives the reader an in-depth history of the Jesuits and of their relationship with popes throughout the years. We see when and how the transformation took place with biographic descriptions of the General Secretaries of the Society. I was Roman Catholic when Pope John XXIII brought together Vatican Council II, when Pope Paul VI rather weakly took up the challenge to the Jesuit transformation, when Pope John Paul I died after only one month in the office and when the staunchly anti-communist Pope John Paul II entered the 'war.' I was oblivious to all of this.
There will be no more books from Malachi Martin for he died from a fall down steps in his home in 1999 while in a wheel chair just after his 78 birthday. He had a private audience with Pope John Paul II before his death. You can read on the Internet both a defense of and opposition to this man. One can only wonder what Malachi Martin would write today of Pope Francis I.
Communism and Marxism are referenced on 54 pages of Malachi Martin's book. Not a week and often not a day goes by without news stories about the Chinese Communist government's intrusions into the sovereignty of their neighbors, in the lives of their people and of their military buildup, or North Korea's threats and weapons sales to America's enemies. Cuba waited us out and Vietnam's Communist leader recently visited the Oval Office. Communism is alive and Marxism is the cat's meow to many who falsely believe them to be compassionate systems.
