RUSH: How about the pope. We can take the hypocrisy route on this. “Pope Francis Long Knew of Cardinal\u2019s Abuse and Must Resign, Archbishop Says<\/a> — On the final day of Pope Francis\u2019 mission to Ireland, as he issued wrenching apologies for clerical sex abuse scandals –” by the way, it seems that this is so widespread around the world. Everybody thinks the church I guess dealt with this some years ago, and it\u2019s becoming clear that not only has the church not dealt with it, it has continued to spread. And there are now calls for the pope\u2019s resignation because he knew about it! Long knew of the cardinal\u2019s abuse.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“On the final day of Pope Francis\u2019 mission to Ireland, as he issued wrenching apologies for clerical sex abuse scandals, a former top Vatican diplomat claimed in a letter published on Sunday that the pope himself had joined top Vatican officials in covering up the abuses and called for his resignation. The letter, a bombshell written by Carlo Maria Vigan\u00f2, the former top Vatican diplomat in the United States and a staunch critic of the pope\u2019s, seemed timed to do more than simply derail Francis\u2019 uphill efforts to win back the Irish faithful, who have turned away from the church in large numbers.”<\/p>\n

And then I recall that the pope really went after oil executives one time when it came to climate change. This June 19th of this year. I really am fortunate to be blessed with such a wonderful memory, \u2019cause I remember this.<\/p>\n

“Pope Francis to Oil Executives: ‘No Time to Lose\u2019 on Climate Change<\/a> — The Pope urged for immediate action on climate change, stating that levels of carbon dioxide emissions and atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases are ‘disturbing and a cause for real concern.\u2019<\/p>\n

“In June, Pope Francis summoned a group of oil and finance executives to the Vatican for an address on the need to rapidly transition to cleaner forms of energy.” This is the vicar of Christ doing this. “Reinforcing the warnings in his 2015 encyclical Laudato Si, the Pope urged for immediate action on climate change, stating that levels of carbon dioxide emissions and atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases are ‘disturbing and a cause for real concern.'”<\/p>\n

Could we all agree that rampant pedophilia in the Catholic Church is disturbing and a cause for real concern? Could we agree? Am I being too controversial in making that statement? Now, has the pope convened the offending cardinals and told \u2019em to stop it? Has he convened the offending priests and monsignors and told \u2019em to cut it out? No. In fact, the story is that he\u2019s long known of all of this and hasn\u2019t done much about it. But when it comes time to climate change, greenhouse gases, there is no time to lose.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Well, what about this other? What about doing it for the children? The fact of the matter is that industries in the United States do a better job managing CO2 emissions than all other organizations on earth. So, once again, folks, rampant and blatant hypocrisy that is related to a political agenda. And even this, this pedophile crisis in the Catholic Church, as I say, it is so much more widespread than anybody knew.<\/p>\n

This is another one of those areas where you have to tread very, very carefully about what you say and how you say what you say. But this is so widespread. And this is so damaging and so destructive that it doesn\u2019t seem to me to just be coincidental. How long is it gonna be before there are serious calls for allowing priests to marry? How long is it gonna be before somebody starts suggesting — and maybe they have, I\u2019m not Catholic, but maybe people are.<\/p>\n

How long is it gonna be before people start pointing out that, look, if you\u2019re gonna demand celibacy, if you\u2019re not gonna allow marriage, then you\u2019re gonna get what you get. I suspect it may even be whispered about now, but it will pick up intensity as time goes on.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Elaine in Independence, Oregon. Thank you for waiting. Great to have you with us today. How are you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Fine. How are you?<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m good. I\u2019m worn out, but I\u2019m good.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I know. In your first hour, you were talking about how incensed you were about the pope making a huge deal about global warming instead of the pedophilia that\u2019s going on in the Catholic Church.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, no, I didn\u2019t quite do that. When it comes to global warming, the pope brings in all the oil executives and demands immediate action. But within his own church and with whatever is going on with the child sex abuse, he ignores it and doesn\u2019t do anything about it.<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: Well, that\u2019s right, because the Catholic Church is always supposed to be a global thing and he\u2019s really gone to the global elite\u2019s whole agenda on what\u2019s going on, because the Catholic Church is never supposed to read the Bible. They had their masses in Latin, they didn\u2019t read the word in English, they read it in Latin, they have been recently, but not completely. So they\u2019re actually supposed to go with the leaning of the pope. So if you get the pope going in one direction, which I\u2019m sure the leaders have been able to do very easily because the pope never gave all their multibillions of dollars to the poor, they keep it in a vault underneath the Vatican. And they\u2019re never ever supposed tell people —<\/p>\n

RUSH: No. It\u2019s the bones of St. Peter that are in a vault underneath the Vatican. The Vatican does hoard money. But the Vatican — this is a big misnomer. They do spend a lot on the Catholic Church charities. Look, there\u2019s some great things the Catholic Church does. You\u2019re right, they\u2019re worldwide. The U.S. population, — what did I see? Five percent of Catholics are United States citizens. The Catholic Church is huge around the world. And they do handle and deal with a lot of charitable activities.<\/p>\n

They do a lot of good work. They don\u2019t hoard things, and they don\u2019t disabuse people reading Bible. I don\u2019t know where that comes from. I mean, I\u2019ve been to Catholic Mass. The Bible is read. But the pope is political. Look, it\u2019s the problem with the left. The pope is a leftist. He\u2019s a leftist, socialist from wherever he\u2019s from, Argentina, whatever. And the left corrupts everything that they touch. Everything that they get their hands on ends up being corrupted because they politicize it.<\/p>\n

They politicize the Department of Justice, for crying out loud. That\u2019s why we have a two-tier justice system right now in Washington with the DOJ vis-a-vis Trump and Hillary. I mean, Republicans get investigated and prosecuted and Democrats don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s more accurate to say that the pope and his liberalism, he\u2019s unable to leave it at the door when he became pope. He took it right in to the Vatican with him. And he\u2019s doing things with it previous popes have not done. When you look at the pedophilia scandal and you look at the lack of action and maybe looking the other way, not doing anything about it, does that not coincide nicely with liberalism and the way they deal with these things?<\/p>\n

So in a way it\u2019s consistent. If you want a full-fledged leftist activist running your organization, well, you\u2019re gonna get Venezuela or you\u2019re gonna get Chicago or you\u2019re gonna get Detroit or you\u2019re gonna get Cuba. It\u2019s what you\u2019re gonna get. No matter what they end up in charge of with no opposition and no checks or balances, you\u2019re gonna get ruination in the name of freedom and expression and nonjudgmentalism.<\/p>\n

But, man, if there\u2019s any place else that judgmentalism ought to be ruling the day would be major churches, major religions. What else are they for? Other than the moral straight and narrow and strength of faith. Anyway, I just think this is what you get. It shouldn\u2019t surprise anybody. This is what I wish were more obvious to everybody. It shouldn\u2019t surprise anybody what happens to any organization, I don\u2019t care how large or small, when leftists end up running it with no check or balance on their power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
