Dalai Lama, will Pope Francis DIE?


Magic and Mystery in Tibet
The Vatican's Pope Francis is catholic ("universalist"), at least in the sense that as CEO he continues the domination of the world by the Holy Roman Empire. The 14th Dalai Lama is the former pope-king of imperial Tibet ruled from a kind of Vajrayana Bon-Buddhist "Vatican" known as the Potala Palace before communist China came in and razed it, killing many in the process, destroying many religious treasures and seizing many secret documents, chasing the 14th Dalai Lama into exile in neighboring Himalayan India's Dharamsala. How in the world would CIA Asset Dalai Lama know if Pope Francis is dying? The Dalai Lama has an ORACLE who knows all, that's how. It will come as no surprise to the Dalai Lama if there is a greater political upheaval in the world than King DoJo Trump and Prince Elon "Richest Man in the World" Musk shake up the world by rattling its hegemonic center of power.

Catholicism: the GAY religion?

Tamar Lapin (nypost.com, July 5, 2017); Pat Macpherson, Dhr. Seven (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
Vatican cops bust drug-fueled gay orgy at home of cardinal’s aide
I didn't say anything, Pope. *Wink*
Vatican police raided a drug-fueled gay-sex party at an apartment belonging to an aide of one of Pope Francis’ key advisers, according to a new report.
 
The Holy Father is “enraged,” since the home, inhabited by Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio’s "aide" (male secretary), belongs to the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith -- the arm charged with tackling clerical sex abuse [aka, child molestation, gay rape, and sodomy], the Italian paper Il Fatto Quotidiano reported.
 
I like young boys. They're so lovely!
Cops raided the apartment in late June after neighbors voiced concern about multiple people acting strangely while streaming in and out of the residence, the newspaper reported Wednesday.
 
Once police were inside the apartment, they said they found multiple men engaged in rampant drug use and homosexual activity.
 
They then arrested the priest -- an aide to one of Pope Francis’ key advisers -- after taking him to a clinic to detox from the drugs he’d ingested.
 
The unnamed aide is now on a spiritual retreat in a convent [where he'll be safe from the temptation of male genitalia?] in Italy, the paper said.

Former pope's gay bachelor pad?
Pederasty is what I was talking about that time.
The aide’s apartment building is the same place where [hypocrite and ousted former Pope Benedict aka self-proclaimed former Nazi Youth member Cardinal Joe Ratzinger] lived for about 25 years before becoming Pope Benedict XVI.
 
Il Fatto Quotidiano described the building as “a perfect location to enjoy the extraterritorial rights [of the Vatican] without having to undergo neither the checks of the Italian State nor those of the Vatican City.”
 
Pope Francis “has decided to accelerate the retirement” of Coccopalmerio, who serves as president of the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts, the paper said.

It's not just homosexual Catholic priests. It's also politicians and other religious hypocrites.
 
Homosexual Catholic priest
Cardinal Coccopalmerio had recommended the secretary for a promotion to bishop -- but his prospects aren’t looking good following this incident and two previous alleged drug overdoses, according to an International Business Times report.
 
“He had proposed his secretary to the episcopate. Fortune that they have not appointed him bishop. Now what would happen?” Il Fatto Quotidiano said. “Someone stopped this appointment before it was too late.”
 
Homosexuality (The Simpsons, Fox TV)
The scandal comes just a week after the Vatican was rocked by sex-abuse allegations against high-ranking church official George Cardinal Pell [who was a personal aide of Pope Francis in charge of finances, but the Pope must somehow not have known his partner raped boys in Australia].
 
Pell was charged with multiple counts of historical sexual assault offenses [aka serial gay rapes and child molestation] by Australian police.
 
The cardinal, who served as Pope Francis’ chief financial adviser and is Australia’s most senior Catholic, is the highest-ranking Vatican official ever to be charged in the church’s sexual-abuse scandals. More

Losing my religion: Atheism or ? (audio)

TEMPLIN, Germany - German Chancellor Angela Merkel was in Rome [actually in the nearby country called the Holy See, Vatican Corporation's headquarters, the last remnant of the Holy Roman Empire] over the weekend.

"Atheist" (Eli Christman/Gammaman)
And she said she had a “very cordial” meeting with [CEO] Pope Francis. That’s not so surprising for the daughter of a Lutheran pastor, who recently expressed how her Christian faith had an “important” place in her life.

But these are the kinds of news tidbits that rub Rüdiger Weida the wrong way. He is convinced that religion holds a privileged place in German society and that non-believers lack the same civil rights.
 

   
I don't approve! (Nazi pope)
Weida is a 63-year-old retiree who lives in the town of Templin. It’s about an hour’s drive outside of Berlin and happens to be Angela Merkel’s hometown. Templin is also where Weida founded the “Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster,” in September last year. As one of the leading “Pastafarians” at the church, or non-church more accurately, Weida goes by the alias of “Bruder Speghettus.”
 
Weekly “Noodle Worship” begins at 10:00 am Fridays in a small building on Weida’s farmstead on the outskirts of town. It looks and feels somewhat like weekly worship services at mainstream Christian churches. There is an altar, time for prayers, scripture readings, hymns, and even a version of Holy Communion. But the similarities end pretty quickly.

In Weida’s church, wine and bread are replaced by [a popular urine-flavored yeast and carbohydrate byproduct] and, you guessed it, cooked strands of spaghetti. “Amen” is replaced by “Ramen," and at the end of the service there are exhortations of “Beer-alleluia!”
 
Weida presided over the service as the “Noodler,” wearing a long yellow robe and a pink stole. The congregants, and there were only two of them on the chilly morning I [Matt Bell] paid a visit, dressed up like pirates.

Behind the altar was a painting of the church’s giant pasta deity. And in the next room, there were chairs for less formal gatherings of the faithful and a big banner that said, “Down with the unbelievers.”
 
After the service finished, I asked Weida if he actually believed in the divine nature of the “Flying Spaghetti Monster.”
 
“It’s a hard question for a Pastafarian,” he said. “We are all separated into two persons inside.” “Of course, I believe. But, of course, I also know it doesn’t exist,” Weida explained.
 
Just what we need, another hypocrite
Weida said he doesn’t see himself strictly as an atheist, but rather a humanist. “We are also not a religious group,” Weida explained. “But we adhere to a Weltanshauung,” or a complete worldview.
 
The more I asked for details about that worldview, the more ridiculous the answers got. For example, on the question of heaven, Weida said Pastafarians believe in a heaven-like existence in the afterlife that includes large amounts of beer and great numbers of strippers. More

When the Catholic Saints come marching in!

Hundreds of thousands of people filled St. Peter's Square [in the Holy See] and the streets of Rome on Sunday to witness the extraordinary sight of two popes -- one reigning and one retired -- declaring two of their predecessors as saints.

Fr. Beniof, Our Lady of Angels (Shirley Jahad)
Most Catholics around the world are celebrating the sainthood of Pope John Paul II and Pope John XXIII. [Two groups are conspicuously absent from that list, purists who recognize the anti-Catholic violations by the extremely popular Pope John Paul II and victims of child molestation or to put it more palatably "clerical sexual abuse" often involving homosexual rape.] The historic canonization this weekend has stirred controversy for some victims of the clergy sex abuse scandal. Pope John Paul II is widely credited with helping melt down the Iron Curtain, traveling the world, and supporting oppressed people. Officials with the L.A. Archdiocese said he is particularly popular in Los Angeles, where 75 percent of parishioners are Latino. They say Pope John Paul II visited Mexico more than any other country besides Poland, his homeland. Now Pope John Paul II is reaching "sainthood" in record time. But some say he should not be named a saint because of the church sex abuse scandal. LISTEN
 
The ceremony was the first time two pontiffs -- John XXIII and John Paul II -- were made saints at the same time. The AP says:
"Francis recited the saint-making formula in Latin, saying that after deliberating, consulting, and praying for divine assistance 'we declare and define Blessed John XXIII and John Paul II be saints and we enroll them among the saints, decreeing that they are to be venerated as such...'"

Beloved Polish pope
It was also the first time in the history of the Roman Catholic Church that a living and a former pope performed a mass together. Pope Francis was joined by emeritus Pope Benedict XVI, who "retired" [or was chased out pending indictment for crimes against humanity and banking irregularities at the Vatican bank under his tenure and his long-time affiliation as head of the Office of the Inquisition under the previous Pope John Paul II] last year.

Hitler survived, moved to Argentina
Hitler in Argentina
It is strange that the "Nazi Pope" Ratzinger, aka Benedict I -- a self-confessed member of the Hitler Youth -- was deposed and replaced by the first Vatican pontiff/CEO from Argentina. Last night George Knapp (Coast to Coast) interviewed author and researcher Harry Cooper (sharkhunters.com), author of Hitler in Argentina who makes the case that Adolf Hitler, "the Fuhrer," did not commit suicide. That was a stand in. He and Eva Braun and enormous riches of top Nazi brass were ferried away to Argentina (and neighboring Antarctica) at the end of WWII to live out a full life. The show began with an hour of Dan Johnson, the founder of PANDA (People Against the National Defense Act) sharing an update on new assaults to our civil liberties. More

 
We made a good choice in Francis I
Many of the faithful had camped in the square to claim spots for the mass. Others prayed in all-night vigils in churches in downtown Rome.

Today, they celebrated under flags and banners bearing the colors of the Vatican and Poland, Pope John Paul's homeland.

I wanted the job longer like Hitler -Ratzinger
"Italy's interior ministry predicted 1 million would watch the Mass from the square, the streets surrounding it and nearby piazzas where giant TV screens were set up to accommodate the crowds eager to follow along," the AP said. More

Why did the Buddhist Pope step down?

Ashley Wells, Pat Macpherson, Dhr. Seven, Wisdom Quarterly
Pedants love to preach, 14th Dalai Lama (left) and 16th Benedict Pope (WQ)

Years before the current Catholic pope (papa, "father"), Benedict the 16th (Joe Ratzinger), opted or was legally/financially persuaded, to step down, the 14th Dalai Lama (Tenzin Gyatso) left office.

Who is the Dalai Lama, and why has he not been replaced?

According to Mahayana Buddhist lore, the "Dalai Lama" is just an office. But it is different in that it is again and again occupied by the same person.

How is this possible? There are three possibilities and three explanations: the historical Gautama Buddha never left samsara (which he did); Maitreya Buddha is already here (which makes the big Relics Tour building project with its massive Maitreya a bit of an anachronism); the being being reborn is not a buddha but a bodhisattva or "buddha-to-be."

All three possibilities must be mentioned because many lay Buddhists have little to no idea what the distinction is.

Could a buddha grow tired of dealing with China, a naga (dragon) kingdom/empire/police state?

Would Maitreya Buddha arrive long before the historical Gautama Buddha is said to have said he would?

Pederasty-preaching prelate (in private) proceeds to pedantic philological pursuits.
 
Is the male monastic hierarchy of the Pope-King immune from the monetary and sexual scandals the papacy is infamous for? Not at all, but it certainly does not hit the press nearly as often. Nevertheless, the comparisons between Tibetan Buddhism and Roman Catholicism are striking and more than superficial:
  • Clerics reside in a Tibetan "Vatican" called the Potala Palace, in the former Himalayan empire's "Rome" or capital of Lhasa. (Like Rome and Italy, Tibet and China are semi-autonomous, one increasingly so, the other less so over time; in ancient times, Lhasa held spiritual sway from Mongolia to modern Bangladesh).
  • Its priests (bikshus), bishops (head lamas), cardinals/archbishops (rinpoches), and the head of Vajrayana (Tibetan form of "Universalism" or Mahayana) Buddhism are led by a Dalai Lama. (Other Tibetan schools, like other schools of Christianity, have their own head, such as the Panchen Lama and the Eastern Orthodox Pope).
  • The fancy hats, shimmering robes, bells, litanies, cathedrals built to enshrine humility, a church or community that seeks to control the secular as well as the spiritual...
So why did the Buddhist "pope" step down? Ultimately the reason(s) given were not unlike Ratzinger/Benedict's -- he's doing it to help the cause, help the people... and possibly to spend more quality time with their celebrity friends, spending millions in donations while giving the appearance of being ascetic at heart?
  
Vatican Vacancy
Suspiciously, it is not the Pope alone who is stepping down at 8:00 pm local-time today. All of those principals who might also be held to stand for the corporation (Vatican, Inc. or Holy Roman Catholic Church, Int'l.) in regard to a genocide lawsuit by indigenous Canadians or drug-money-laundering Vatican (IOR) bankers are also exiting. Therefore, the official who would step in in the event the pope had been pulled by the Judeo-Christian sky-god, YHWH/Zeus/Deus, is not there to step in, nor is his successor, nor his. There is a chancellor or proxy taking over as explained by the BBC (video).

Prophecy: The (next to the) Last Pope

John Hogue (HogueProphecy.com); Pat Macpherson, Wisdom Quarterly


In a cool and very matter of fact manner, Pope Benedict XVI announced [on Feb. 11] that he would be stepping down as Pope of one billion Catholics because of his advanced age. The ring of St. Peter will be removed from his living hand and smashed at 8:00 pm on February 28, 2013.
 
Popes rarely retire. They are usually led out of the papal palace feet first, [lifeless] with their white slippers on [or fancy red Prada slip-ons if they prefer]. ...[T]he last pope to retire was St. Celestine V. That was 719 years ago in 1294. It is a rather sordid story: one of the worst moments in the history of the papacy....
 
Kiss my ring, court. I'm outta here.
Apostasy, Fatima-Gate and sex scandals, has ever overshadowed Benedict’s short and checkered reign. He apparently will not survive the widening sex scandal of pedophile priests that as Cardinal Joe Ratzinger -- head of the "Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith" under [the previous] Pope John Paul II’s long reign -- [he] kept under wraps, sequestering and shielding hundreds of serial sex predators from secular justice all around the world.
 
It is believed that this was all foreseen by St. Malachy (d. 1148), a medieval Irish prophet who left us a list of 111 Latin mottoes -- each signifying the life, heraldry, name or works of every Pontiff from his contemporary Celestine II (1143-1144) up to Benedict XVI.

What follows in his prophecy is a coda where he describes the “last pope,” whom he calls Petrus Romanus (Peter of Rome). Benedict was foretold to be the pope who brought about a spiritual crisis in the Roman Catholic Church, [and] Peter of Rome will administer the faithful, it is presaged, when Rome itself is destroyed...

Newsflash: god recalls Pope

Wisdom Quarterly (EDITORIAL)

Pope in robes (nocaptionneeded.com)
First Barney dies, now the Pope is being recalled (called to resign, which Vatican law allows, rather than retire). What is god, the tribal deity of Catholics and Jews and Christians and possibly Muslims, thinking?

Archbishop Jose Gomez (CNA/Matthew Rarey)
Recently the new Archbishop of Los Angeles, Jose Gomez, denounced former Cardinal Roger Mahoney for felonies surrounding his concealing of child molestation, rape, and sexual misconduct by trusted Catholic priests all over the country, moving rapists to new parishes where they again raped children. Will the LAPD be filing charges? They're looking into it, but the Vatican has powerful lawyers and an almost infinite donation-well/real estate holdings to dip in, then there's the Officer Dorner fiasco which has it all tied up. So probably not. Nevertheless, Archbishop Gomez publicly humiliated Mahoney by outing him for his immoral and unethical behavior.

Mahoney countered on his blog, stating that he was never taught about homosexual acting out by priests in the seminary he attended. This is odd since one of the biggest Church-related scandals in nearby Mexico was over a chief Catholic cleric who was in the habit of molesting incoming seminarians, who probably went on to become outgoing child-molesting priests, bishops, archbishops, and -- if it's the god's will -- cardinals. Whatever Archbishop Gomez did in stripping Mahoney of all official power, he has not been able to keep him from performing services in his own local church or heading to the seat of the current Roman Empire to vote for the next religious emperor (pope). The papacy is that powerful, and viewed in just that way in some quarters of the Orthodox Eastern Church (of Russia and the Near East). 
 
Male priests attend to the lamas' lama.
And Catholics constitute the world's largest religion in official numbers (~1.2 billion). There are more than a billion Buddhists in the world, but most of them are not counted in official census numbers tabulated by the communist regime (think China) and Hindu-dominated governments (think Nepal) in which they practice. For the sake of clarification it should be made clear that there are only three "world religions," universal missionary traditions. When Catholicism, Christianity, and Judaism are combined, they form the largest. Islam (Shiites, Sunnis, and Sufis) and Buddhism (Mahayana, Theravada, and Vajrayana) are the other two.

Pope in full regalia (dalailama)
What was Archbishop Gomez upset about? The massive child molesting scandal is getting worse now that the Church has confessed to failing to report, concealing, and dissuading the reporting of sex crimes against minors within the Church. This was not an "oversight" or act of "rogue elements" within the Church; it was a conspiracy (in league with lawyers and one can imagine other diabolical elements), a crime, and shameless hypocrisy that ran all the way to the top. Where is/was the top? Outgoing Pope Benedict's lap. Heavy is the head that wears the crown. So since Catholicism (with its massive Mithraic and Euro-Roman-Pagan inheritance) and Lamaism (with its massive Bon and Hindu-tantra inheritance) already have so much in common -- with great pomp, ceremony, and an extraordinarily patriarchal bishop/cardinal (lama/rinpoche) power structure, the 16th Benedict Pope (Joe Ratzinger) is following the 14th Dalai Lama (Tenzin Gyatso) into official-semi-retirement. However, while the Pope leaves in just enough time to escape total disgrace, the Dalai Lama enjoy more popularity than ever. It cannot be that both god-kings did not face the same issues in their predominantly male organizations, but one seems to have worried about money and corporate management while the other focused on liberating most of its flock from the clutches of godless Chinese oppressors. Moreover, while some think the Dalai Lama is an enlightened master, few if any regard the Pope as much more than a figurehead/CEO.

Do most people know that the Vatican and Holy See (the world's smallest independent state/country, which is in Rome but neither a part of Rome or Italy) is built on a massive temple complex dedicated to Mithra? The Romans worshipped Mithra long before it nominally converted to worshipping the anointed King Jesus (St. Issa/Y'shua Christos). Never mind that the story of Jesus survived as a Jewish mushroom cult talking about the psychedelic experience as personified in the person of Jesus of Nazara, Egypt (not Nazareth, Israel/Palestine).
