The International Institute of Nonviolence.
By Rev. Jermano
Pope Benedict is preaching Nonviolence? I find that surprising, given that the majority of Christians in the USA support the American governments right to use guns, and supports the greatest super power military establishment in the world.
It is strange to see all the superpowers including the USA and China jumping on the back of little countries who feel threatened by them, when they want nuclear weapons. We know who they are N. Korea and Iran. In fact instead of getting these little so called evil empires to abandon their nuclear programs, shouldn't they be disarming themselves?
Nice to hear your good words Pope Benedict, but really the Bible is full of wars and violence. There have been more people who died and killed in Wars over religion than in any other topic of discussion. Somehow religion has really let me down. I can't live and work in the USA without them taking my money in taxes to support the military machine that I reject on religious grounds. Instead of being a hypocrite and stay in the USA I left to protest war. But do others do that? I bet the Catholic Church gets donations from the the Military Contractors in the USA. How is it that the Church gets money from stock dividends who profit from war, when thousands of innocent people have been annihilated?
You are good pals with GW Bush aren't you Pope? We have seen your pictures with him, shaking hands with a War President that does not care about the innocent people of his war machinagins. I really wonder how you can stand there talking about Nonviolence, when the Catholic Church is one of the biggest contributors to the military establishment?
Something must be on your mind Pope? Hope you will join my Institute. The International Institute of Nonviolence. Maybe there will be hope when we see the good to this and its complete severance from the military establishment.
