Pope says rich nations "plundered" the third world

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Rich countries bent on power and profit have mercilessly "plundered and sacked" Africa and other poor regions and exported to them the "cynicism of a world without G-d," Pope Benedict writes in his first book.

The Pope also condemns drug trafficking and sexual tourism, saying they are signs of a world brimming with "people who are empty" yet living among abundant material goods.

OH geez...not this sh*t again

The Pope of the Catholic Church, the man in control of one of the worlds largest financial portfolios, has decided to take sides with the poor southern hemisphere against the wealthy northern hemisphere.

This should come as no surprise, since the Catholic Church is a major political force supporting the invasion of the North America by Central/ South Americans.

The Pope implies that European colonization made the inhabitants of dominated countries cynical and reject G-d. MESSAGE TO POPE: IT WAS COLONIZATION THAT BROUGHT THEM G-d IN THE FIRST PLACE. Before Western European colonization, the entire world knew nothing but paganism and sorcery. It was European colonization that brought the bible to the non-white (and non-Jewish) world.

If the third world decided to reject the bible...that is their own problem.

Why doesn't it occur to some people, that the third world is mired in poverty simply because they have rejected the bible? Why doesn't it occur to people, that the third world is weak simply because it may be cursed by Hashem for not accepting Biblical Truth?

Right wing Rabbi Daniel Lapin, who heads up the organization Towards Tradition, said in one of his books that no free market economies ever developed in non-Judeo/Christian societies. 

Then there's the issue of IQ.  Chaim attributes the problems of Third Worlders to their free choice of an evil lifestyle (as opposed to simply race).   But then how would he explain the choice that so many of them make?  Is it their fear of being labeled an "Uncle Tom?"  Personally, I don't think it's all about choosing an evil lifestyle, or all about IQ.

Do not forget that the Pontiff continues to allow thousands of pederast priests to rape boys at will. The reason the Catholic Church backs the illegal invasion is because they want all their priests to be richly stocked with Mexican boys.

That's the only plundering that goes on these days.

I hate to offend fellow Catholics here but, HAHAHAHA!

HAHA...that is high comedy

He is a moron. Look at the lifestyle he lives. I should be so lucky.

[mord]

He must be a lib democrat

[Gruzinit]

What a hypocrite, has anyone seen the Vatican ! Plus he's dressed like Liberace's stunt-double, the Roman Catholic Church are no buddhist monks ( at least they believe in minimal material wealth and modesty)!

[MarZutra]

Big deal.  So they plundered the Third World.  Take the Spanish during their conquest of Mexico with Cortois over Montezuma.  The Spanish instituted civility in a place where there was human sacrifices and cannibalism.  I am sure that the Pope is aware that the Christians, though "plundered" places like Africa and India, too stopped infanticide, genocide, sexual degeneracy, cannibalism, slavery, provided civil-economic-legal-educational-political infrastructure.  The Pope is another elitist hack that must go as well in my opinion.  There are so many anti-Catholic scriptures buried beneath the Vatican that the Pope and his enterage will never let see the light of day.  Catholicism is a worse history than any European "plundering" of the Turd World in my opinion.  Just the history of the Medici Family in association with the Papal See is a good example or the Council of Nicea in 325, Council of Trent or the Laturn Councils...  The Pope is not one to talk....

[Gruzinit]

Don't forget widow-burning in India...in the mid 19th century, locals praticed THE CUSTOM OF BURNING A WOMAN ALIVE AT HER HUSBANDS FUNERAL PYRE. British general Sir Charles James Napier told Hindu locals who protested it's prohibition, citing it was part of their "custom" that "... Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a women alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them."

Re:  "... The Pope is not one to talk...."

"FOR CROSS AND CROWN!"   
(credo of the Spanish Conquistadors)

FIRST CAME "TRADE", FOLLOWED BY "PRIESTS", FOLLOWED BY "GUNS"!   
-- the order of the scenario which took place whenever and wherever Europeans "explored" their planet.

The Pope (with all due respect) could well have a special title in Latin which translates as "Mr. 10%"!

I totally forgot about this.  Apparently, this Hindu practice is still observed today in the outer more distant towns in India...so I have read.  Mussah, you are 100% correct...today it is "Free Trade"....UN Diplomats and "Trade" Delegates and then Amero...   What a horrible world..  I do like the story how the Medici wished to expand his business...bought the Papal See, sat his nephew on the Papal thrown for a few generations and sold blessings of repentance to the ignoramus followers to ensure that they would get into heaven.  What a brilliant scam.....  I wish I had thought of that...   sort of like toilet paper here in the West....   Everyone needs a "free" ticket....

Of course, Jews never followed the Europeans to the colonies. Jews never set up businesses and raised families in areas that Europeans "explored" either.

[Gruzinit]

So did many other European Natives, genius... if I can recall, the Jews of Spain didn't have it so great, many escaped to Argentina. Have you also forgottern about the Dutch Afrikaners of South Africa, or the French whom lived in Algeria and Lebanon for generations...why don't you also slam the American colonialists for leaving Great Britain to settle in the Thirteen Colonies

The sad fact is that the Europeans, in my opinion, did far more of worth than the Liberal Leftist continue to promulgate during their attacks of "Hate Whitey", "British Imperialism" or "American Capitalism".  Of course Jews followed, some even state that Columbus and many of his crew were Jews, although that is disputable.  The fact is that the Pope is so far out of touch with reality due to his connections and, in many cases, un-Christian-ness that what he states is sheer hypocrisy.  I don't think anyone here is slamming the Europeans at all but more correctly, slamming the words and current political beliefs of the Pope...

[Christian Zionist]

What the Bible says is more important than what the Pope says or the Arch Bishop of Canterbury says.  They are not the sole representatives of Christianity in the world.

Third world needs capitalism and not foreign aid from the rich nations.

[Fruit of thy loins]

If I could have my way anyone who utters the facetious stupidity that the Third World was 'plundered' by expanding post-medieval European countries would be sent to a re-education camp.  This is the kind of sheer moronic stupidity that little blond people credulously learn when they go to university.  It is excruciating nonsense of the first order.  What really annoys me is that this DISEASE known as self-hate and self-indictment is flaring up at exactly the same time that the Third World is beginning to PLUNDER EUROPE, raping its resources and its people.

White people are stupid morons.  They pick the very worst time in their own history to be hamstrung by guilt and self-hatred.  And millions of innocent people are made to suffer for the sake of political posture and petty intellectual one-upsmanship.   

[MarZutra]

Fruit, you are 100% correct.  I'm afraid this is a by-product of Liberalism and Leftist thought.  The fact that Europeans went to Africa, Cecil Rhodes for example, and developed the diamond mines, oil, coffee, rubber and many other industries that the blacks would never had done in another million years by themselves dictates that the Europeans actually contributed far more than they "plundered".  I could go on and on of what the White man had brought to Africa and had contributed positively but I cannot, on the other hand, figure out what the Turd World has contributed positively to the Western or the civilized world in general.  Your comment on the Turd World "Plundering" the West/Europe, is 100% factually correct.  The idiocy of Ol-Hate Whitey today is not to solve the problems in the Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Cameroon, Ivory Coast etc. (not that it is our problem in the first place to solve their problems) but to bring the more of these animals, often HIV positive, to Canada to live on our welfare, cater to them due to our progressive programs for "diversity" and "multiculturalism": Affirmative Action, Quota Systems, Black Business Initiative, Black Educational Services, Black Legal....etc. etc.    Everything aforementioned by you all is emphatically correct...especially here in Canada where Ol-Whitey is now entering second class citizenship status like the Jews in Israel...  It is sad, but I actually agree with much of that Jared Taylor fellow from American Renaissance... 

[TruthTyperII]

Europeans triumphed and suceeded where other races failed. The Pope is really an idiot, just another liberal trying to spread "white guilt".

[MarZutra]

TT I agree with you.  There is a reason why Europe and the West are the way they are and the Turd World is the way it is.  Only a Marxist would believe that "everybody" is "equal" or "all religions are equal" or "all cultures are equal".  The fact is nothing is equal and not all are equal.  There is a reason why Africa and the Yemen are the way they are and Britain, Canada, Israel, America, Australia are the way they are.  Man, Australia was an Island for criminals and they advanced into a first world nation in 100 years when the entire continent of Africa hasn't advanced, further than the handout from ol-whitey, in the last 10,000 years.  Of course the answer to the problems in the Turd World is to ....BRING THEM ALL HERE....

[Jman415]

Are you trying to imply that the Pope is behind some conspiracy theory to spread catholicism through immigration?

[MarZutra]

Not at all.  Is the Catholic Church in United States Pro-Illegal "Immigrant"...alien... or for America to close the borders and force their Laws on Immigration vs. Illegal Alien?  You tell me?  Perhaps you might look at some of these names....http://www.clubofrome.org/

You guys should read the book called Vicars of Christ. It takes you through the history of the popes and catholic church and shows how screwed up and evil all of them are. It also talks about the catholic church impacts the turd worlds high birth rate. Imo they probably want to have a never ending supply of boys to rape.
