Historically September 24, 2015 Earth's inhabitants were on the edge of their seats listening to the wisdom of the chief statesman from the Vatican. Fortunately, he recently had learned and recited over and over again enough English to cite his messages of hope for the world. Therefore he spoke slowly in a calm, peaceful manner. In my estimation, he resembled Jesus the Prophet of Peace for us all more than any othe great man on one common planet.
Dear Ones,
My ears picked up what he wanted to get across to "we Earthians"–quintessional international peace, justice, equality and freedom from poverty, suffering and violence of endless bloody wars that cause endless refugees and diseases.
In was especially interested in his priority of young people through both actions and words. In this sense he emulated Jesus the most–"bring ye little children to me"–a very loose interpretation.
In particular, I also wanted him to mention First Americans whose land was taken from them by the First immigrants. He didn't mention that Christopher Columbus and his crew abused and killed many indigenous people of the Americans to get their gold and silver, much of which garnishes religious cathedrals throughout Europe. But this of course was before his time. And I, too, would be embarrassed to remind the nation in which he is a special guest.
Both Pope Francis and Bernie Sanders stressed the best way to deal with people is by believing and acting upon the Golden Rule–"Don't do to others what you don't want done to you." In previous posts I had written this and included other human rights issues, before either of these great men spoke on TV. The morning star wakes me up every day and provides me with these messages.
In calling for members of Congress to deal evenly with other nations, what came to my mind was leaders of Israel, the Judeo-Christian United States and other power nations ferociously trying to prevent Iran from having nuclear bomb development–what is necessary. But why isn't the rest of of the world eliminating their own stock-piled nuclear arsenals that they threaten with against International Law. Meanwhile, this hypocrisy is likely to inflame entire world cities with mutual devastation.
This unequal, imbalanced behaviors definitely comes under the even yardstick that Pope Francis described as needed throughout the world.
