Cardinal Cantalamessa
I liked this advent sermon ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ฅฐ
www.vaticannews.va/en/vatican-city/news/2021-12/raniero-cantalamessa-papal-preacher-third-advent-sermon.htmlI am quite concerned that there are many movements now that are fast becoming "Cult" religions...
And they dont hold christian values too deeply... Particularly that of Forgiveness....
Being generally brought up with decent values and understanding those...
But also having a very keen and inquisitive interest in the origins of mankind and the ancient sites and cultures of prehistoric Britain and Africa, Ireland and Beyond..
I dont believe that our Celtic ancestors or prehistoric ancestors were as Barbaric as they are made out to be. More so misunderstood.
Its clear that there is a very real Cult of money, power and fame that is orchestrated around entertainment, advertising and Television.. money, sovereign power.. flowing to individuals through proffit
And there is an element of addiction to it. Social influences, National pride, even celebration...
Scientology has taken the world by storm. And a new power cult has emerged with greater influence and control than ever before.
Very serious statements adorn all buisness now of "Modern Slavery" which is quite ironic, seeing that a new social forced (not voluntary) administration has been globally implemented..
We do not forgive, we block and ban.
We do not try to understand. Confess, love, share...
We now have buttons to force compliance or be ex communicated. Its a forced and authoritarian intolerance. Obedience to our will that is being encouraged and globally initiated...
Rather than cooperation because of wanting to, wanting to learn, to understand, to communicate and co operate
I really do not like what the sovereign power of these for proffit and gain enterprises are forcing on us. And implementing without any real alternative being offered.
Where is the competition or real alternative to YouTube or Facebook?? Is it not strange that these seem the only main platforms that appear and are circulating?? Why is that??
Why are there not 4 or 5 with different ideas and models of social orders??
If must be that our governments want it this way, that elite corporate powers benefit from these types of systems.
Therefore they are what we have.
Proffit, advertising, social prestige... Power being an evident and important implementation..
Power controls. Seem almost as important as the content itself.
As if the law is not enough. As if the human spirit is not enough...
2 people are not trusted to resolve their own issues... A 3rd party is needed maybe representing the power of the 3rd party to be welcomed and enjoyed (unfortunately abused and misused as well)
We have had the models of hippies. Peace and love.. through voluntary kindness for a long time. But no money or proffit comes from that model of social order.
Therefore to proffit and have power (to not have to co operate or agree, but to force. Cohearse or manipulate.. people because there will be great gain or proffit resulting from it, for a minority of people... Or a large number of people being satisfied for the short term or immediate gratification.. yet even though it may be unhealthy or detrimental to other people..
We are led to ignore, or to act selfishly or to even complain and become authoritarian ourselves..
Quite the opposite end of the spectrum to Communists.
We certainly have lost the middle ground.
Technology now has become a dependency. A crutch? It seems instead of using technology to cure a disability...
We have instead deemed mankind is a disability in comparison to the machine. And we all therefore now must pursue immediate and perpetual upgrade of mankind to an efficient and superior machine.
The new elite view mankind as a disability.
If you have no money you are disabled if you have no power you are disabled if you do not have a television you are disabled. If you do not have transport, or a calculator or a telephone..
A computer..
Man cannot live by bread alone but from every word and breath of the mouth of god..
Where as now.. its more like..
Man cannot live by mankind alone, but only with every Rayban, laptop, smartphone and credit card from the corporate elite.
Man cannot live by local community alone but only by worship to the game shows celebrities, and entertainment of the television gods.
