Gospel of Life and Service
“Don’t you know the cruelty of the world. You have to grab what you want. If you are rich and powerful, they let you do it.” The Folly and the Stumbling Block
The Pope preaches the Gospel of Life and Service. The anti-christ preaches the gospel of death and prosperity. Both Faith and reason show the Gospel of Life and Service have built a better world since the end of the Second World War.
1 Corinthians 1–22-31
For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.For consider your call, brethren; not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth; but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong, God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, whom God made our wisdom, our righteousness and sanctification and redemption; therefore, as it is written, “Let him who boasts, boast of the Lord.”
I Papi e le guerre nell’epoca contemporanea
“Dalla lettera ai belligeranti di Benedetto XV del 1917 che definisce la prima guerra mondiale “inutile strage” ai tentativi di Pio XII di evitare lo scoppio del secondo conflitto mondiale; dalle parole di Giovanni XXIII nella “Pacem in terris” che già nel 1963 scriveva che “riesce quasi impossibile pensare che nell’era atomica la guerra possa essere utilizzata come strumento di giustizia”, al grido di Paolo VI all’ONU “mai più la guerra” fino ai tentativi inascoltati di Giovanni Paolo II di evitare gli sciagurati conflitti in Medio Oriente; i Successori di Pietro non hanno mancato di levare la loro voce improntata alla profezia e al realismo, purtroppo il più delle volte inascoltati.”
