Pope Benedict XVI News Picks Up DBKP Story



Humbled.

That's all we can say when we found out that a recent DBKP post had been included in Pope News.

The Pope Watch blog keeps track of all things about Benedict XVI.

And our story about the exorcist "surge" and its subsequent disavowal by the Pope, as well as our exclusive pictures from a Democrat Party exorcism was picked up. [Pope Disputes Exorcist Surge, DBKP Documents Political Exorcism]

We can't say much except we're honored.

And, Amen.

Pope Disputes Exorcist Surge, DBKP Documents Political Exorcism

DBKP World Exclusive Pictures of Democrat Political Exorcism!

Pope To Try Exorcist Surge To Combat Satan


RAPH Documents Democrat Party Exorcism for DBKP



Conflicting reports over whether the Vatican is planning to step up its efforts to combat Satan has Catholics and Devil Worshipers alike confused.

The Daily Mail earlier reported that the Pope had commanded a surge of exorcists to combat an alarming rise in the Occult--Satanism.
The Pope has ordered his bishops to set up exorcism squads to tackle the rise of Satanism.

Vatican chiefs are concerned at what they see as an increased interest in the occult.

They have introduced courses for priests to combat what they call the most extreme form of "Godlessness."

Each bishop is to be told to have in his diocese a number of priests trained to fight demonic possession.




The Vatican spokesman for the exorcists laid out the Pope's strategy and was relieved that Satan was finally going to be faced head-on by those best suited to battle Lucifer and his minions.
The initiative was revealed by 82-year-old Father Gabriele Amorth, the Vatican "exorcistinchief," to the online Catholic news service Petrus.

"Thanks be to God, we have a Pope who has decided to fight the Devil head-on," he said.

"Too many bishops are not taking this seriously and are not delegating their priests in the fight against the Devil. You have to hunt high and low for a properly trained exorcist.

"Thankfully, Benedict XVI believes in the existence and danger of evil - going back to the time he was in charge of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith." The CDF is the oldest Vatican department and was headed by Benedict from 1982, when he was Cardinal Ratzinger, until he became Pope in 2005.

Father Amorth said that during his time at the department Benedict had not lost the chance to warn humanity of the risk from the Devil.




Believers in Beelzebub had cause for concern.

But a later report by UPI indicates that the Pope either was misquoted or had second thoughts about taking on the Prince of Darkness.
The Vatican is denying reports it plans to install more exorcists around the world so possessed people can get help quickly.

"Pope Benedict XVI has no intention of ordering local bishops to bring in garrisons of exorcists to fight demonic possession,'' Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi told reporters in Rome Friday.

On Thursday, the Roman Catholic Web site Petrus said the pope planned to install more exorcists in every diocese next year and reintroduce a prayer during mass to St. Michael the Archangel, believed to be the prime protector against evil, The Telegraph in Britain reported Saturday.

Paolo Scarafoni, a priest at Vatican University who teaches how to recognize and expel Satan, said exorcists increasingly are in demand because devil worship has become so common, reported ANSA, the Italian news agency. "Priests are being bombarded," Scarafoni told ANSA.

This left DBKP not only confused, but upset. Quite a large sum had already been wagered on the Pope at 3-2.

But then, other events gripped our attention. DBKP's RidesAPaleHorse entered into a political den of inequity and returned with these stunning pictures of a political exorcism involving members of the Democrat Party.

Revealed here for the first time are photos which RAPH was able to bring back, at great personal risk, of an authentic political exorcism.

A political exorcism is a rare event in America and this is believed to be the first time an exorcism of political evil had ever been captured on film.





We're kinda hoping for at least a Pulitzer.

Where's the Liberal Love? Pope Comes Out in Favor of Science


Benedict calls for science, not dogmatic hysteria


Pope Benedict XVI called for more science and less dogma.

Normally, corks would be popping off champagne bottles wherever "Christian" and "science" are are seen as mutually exclusive terms.

Maybe next time.
Pope Benedict XVI has launched a surprise attack on climate change prophets of doom, warning them that any solutions to global warming must be based on firm evidence and not on dubious ideology.

The leader of more than a billion Roman Catholics suggested that fears over man-made emissions melting the ice caps and causing a wave of unprecedented disasters were nothing more than scare-mongering.

The German-born Pontiff said that while some concerns may be valid it was vital that the international community based its policies on science rather than the dogma of the environmentalist movement.[1]
Sounds reasonable.

Reaction from a rival faith, Worldwide Church of Man-made Climate Disasters, is expected to answer the Pope's call for more science with calls for more dogma--their own.

One adherent of WCMCD thought, Oliver Willis, said one factor in the climate change debate not often mentioned, was child rapists.
Conservatives are trumpeting this attack on climate science from Pope Benedict saying we should slow down on dealing with the problem. The Pope is free to say what he wishes, but people like myself are also free to note that the Pope also thought the Catholic church should slow down on rooting out child rapists. So, there's that.[2]
More from the Pope.
"Humanity today is rightly concerned about the ecological balance of tomorrow," he said in the message entitled "The Human Family, A Community of Peace".

"It is important for assessments in this regard to be carried out prudently, in dialogue with experts and people of wisdom, uninhibited by ideological pressure to draw hasty conclusions, and above all with the aim of reaching agreement on a model of sustainable development capable of ensuring the well-being of all while respecting environmental balances.

"If the protection of the environment involves costs, they should be justly distributed, taking due account of the different levels of development of various countries and the need for solidarity with future generations.

"Prudence does not mean failing to accept responsibilities and postponing decisions; it means being committed to making joint decisions after pondering responsibly the road to be taken."

Efforts to protect the environment should seek "agreement on a model of sustainable development capable of ensuring the well-being of all while respecting environmental balances", the Pope said.

He added that to further the cause of world peace it was sensible for nations to "choose the path of dialogue rather than the path of unilateral decisions" in how to cooperate responsibly on conserving the planet.[1]

The Pope isn't the only official in the Catholic Church to notice the missionary zeal of the WCMCD.
In October, the Australian Cardinal George Pell, the Archbishop of Sydney, caused an outcry when he noted that the atmospheric temperature of Mars had risen by 0.5 degrees celsius.

"The industrial-military complex up on Mars can't be blamed for that," he said in a criticism of Australian scientists who had claimed that carbon emissions would force temperatures on earth to rise by almost five degrees by 2070 unless drastic solutions were enforced.
Reaction from white trash skeptics was succinct.

Jebediah Murphy at Pirates Cove: "Well, I reckon the Pope is correct. It does need to based on science, rather then hysteria, hypocrisy, junk science, and a need create a world wide socialist paradise. Oh, and let’s not forget getting lots and lots of moola out of gullible climahysterics."

"Why else promote carbon offsets rather then just, ya know, advocating stopping the problem? I reckon we can’t say that all liberals are idiots, since a few, such as Michael Moore and The Goracle, know how to siphon money out of moonbat pockets."[2]

No More Mr. Nice Blog was even-handed about the papal assessment, questioning the Daily Mail's interpretation of what the Pope actually said.
A Reuters story on this papal message bears the headline "Pope Urges Prudence in Environmental Decisions." That's accurate. AFP's story is called "Environmental Policies Must Respect Needs of the Poor: Pope." That's accurate as well -- he does say that. But the Daily Mail has a vested interest in making you think that the Pope is an environmental skeptic. So it lied about his message.[4]
The Pope cautions against hysteria.

Expect more hysterical reactions to follow.
