Comments on: ‘Brexit’ vote concerns European church leaders that unity may be fractured https://www.nzcatholic.org.nz/2016/06/27/brexit-vote-concerns-european-church-leaders-unity-may-fractured/ The New Zealand National Catholic Newspaper Wed, 13 Jul 2016 15:32:06 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.5.3 By: John https://www.nzcatholic.org.nz/2016/06/27/brexit-vote-concerns-european-church-leaders-unity-may-fractured/#comment-15331 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 05:08:11 +0000 https://www.nzcatholic.org.nz/?p=13122#comment-15331 Britain has a right to dispose of its property according to its elected leaders.
The Encyclical Centessimus Annos (Pope Saint John Paul II) makes this clear.
Belgium has no right to interfere with Britain’s economics, and no Non-Britain has a right to dictate terms of how the social welfare of Britain may be utilised, or how many migrants can be supported by Britain’s generosity, which has already been sorely tested by loss of jobs that ordinarily should go to British subjects.
Comment from Justin Welby does not supply any perspective of Sharia (racist) that ids now legal in Britain, and Welby should know that there are three towns in Britain which are now totally Muslim. Birmingham is next. Despite Pope Francis’ words that he does not go about cutting other peoples heads off, this has yet to enter the minds of some off the elite comment who want an easy way out, preferring to lose their democratic freedom for political expediency to “keep the peace”. What peace? and at what cost? France has acknowledged the presence of terrorists in its own police force, while in southern Spain there are gangs with Kalashnikov armory pointed at Police who are the first line of defense for democracy. Sweden has a real problem with rape- 77% caused by 2% of the population who are Muslim. It would appear the fear caused by terrorism and its Muslim migrant population has every Christian in a sense of denial, brought about to a substantial degree by the ubiquitous ideology that has the world in denial of Christ, and gravitating to a mechanistic mode that enables movement of products but does so very little for Christian birth-rate, unlike the major migrant contender- something noticed by Rabbi Sacs who s a Jew, and foreshadowed by Cardinal Pel. These practicalities do not seem to interest everyone in office, but for marginalised who are hit with extra tax which is wasted on trivia (several Billions which can now be spent on Medicine and Education) that the Eurozone have done, as pointed out by Mr Nigel Farage. Is not this Social Justice? Whose money is it anyway? Sweden’s government is borrowing money to pay for the welfare of its new migrants .
Holland is now examining the very real opportunity of leaving the Eurozone, following Britain.
The parasite host paradigm may not be so popular now, but when there is no money and economics are so bad that young people cannot get jobs (Spain has about 50% in the workforce), the whole business needs a more practical examination by economists, not politicians and certainly not the churches unless the latter are prepared to cough up the extra in cold hard cash. Ireland, Spain and now Greece are in a mess. Greece has now become a puppet state. Sentiment raised by a new Eurozone anthem (with traditional Christian music) or stars in a flag do little for the Grimbsy fisherfolk who are out of jobs.
If Britain is able to lead and keep alive freedom, instead of bowing to an ideology, that has so many (including Merkel) by the throat, is it not confessing to the Freedom to live in Christ? Is this not what “Guadium et Spes” is all about? Or is it preferable to be “ordered and enslaved” (p139, “SIECUS”, Clare Chambers), that both Communism, Fascism, Secular Humanism and Nazism tried so hard to do? Those in office scandalise by not considering the next generation who so often have to pay for freedom, and as other countries have to do when their future is mortgaged by irresponsible politicians who have made “shipwreck of their faith” (1Timothy 1:19) and “holding the form of religion but denying the power of it” (2 Timothy 3:50).
