Pope Ratzinger: A Dead Spiritual Loss

Recently the Roman Catholic Pope, in a failed PR exercise, took questions from children regarding God and Catholic theology; a nine year old girl put it straight to the Pontiff, ‘why is there so much suffering, hunger and war in the world?’ The Pope answered honestly, “I don’t know!” How’s that for a spiritually bankrupt FRAUD? The Pope’s only saving grace is that he answered the question honestly.

The correct answer according to Christian doctrine and values -- if the Pope would care to familiarise himself with Christian theology -- is of course M-O-N-E-Y, or the ‘bottom line’ as singularly pursued by mass murdering Banking/Financial elites (temple money changers) and Transnational Corporatists!

Jesus detested money and material wealth; the New Testament refers to it as the “ROOT OF ALL EVIL.” So, Ratzinger, AND OTHER CHRISTIAN H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E-S, stand starkly as glaring, miserable failures/excuses for religionists!

Christianity, particularly the Eastern form, has a strong tradition of mysticism and MYSTICS -- persons fully conversant with Deity. Their writings indicate profound UNDERSTANDING and spiritual KNOWLEDGE.

However, if readers are searching for a philosophy that has ALL the answers, then of course Buddhism is peerless as the most coherent and complete system on the planet! The Buddhist response to that little girl’s (eternal) question, would have been the Karma dynamic as related to Reincarnation.

‘Christians’ (all denominations) remain the most spiritually bankrupt, HYPOCRITICAL religious group on the planet; followed closely by the other two Abrahamic religions, Islam and Judaism.
