POPE FRANCIS - What you did not Know About the Vatican Big Man



I BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW – POPE FRANCIS

I'm not a super-religious person or a refined Vatican Catholic cleric and so I’m probably not one to talk but a late-night, glass of flat coke and late-night internet WI-Fi will send you into the depths of Google you have never before thought you would visit. Anyway, I found a lot about the pope online the good, the controversial, I’m just going to put it all up here and let the masses decide on it..Pope Francis and Pope Francis quotes




POPE FRANCIS - What you dint Know About the Vatican Big Man.

Pope Francis is the 266th and current Pope of the Catholic Church


Being whoever I am I’m going to start with the rather fishy stuff on Pope Francis News.


1. If someone is gay and searches for the Lord, who am I to judge? This is undoubtedly the most controversial statement uttered by the big man when asked about his take on gay priests in the church. Was he just adding a single onto the Pope Francis quotes by playing a little more controversial..? This goes against the church’s general belief, as well as those of his predecessors, that homosexuality is an intrinsic moral sin that should be sent flying out of the church’s stained glass windows after .."Pope on Same-Sex Marriage" breaking news.



2. The pope’s take on the theory of evolution was quite the head turner as well. "God is not a demiurge [or demigod] or a magician, but the Creator who brought everything to life. Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve." I don’t know why this was deemed controversial, but Science and the church haven’t exactly been in each other's good books in the recent past, so I’m sure you get why it did not sit well that the symbol of the church was upping y daisy about it.


3. "I can only say that the communists have stolen our flag. The flag of the poor is Christian. Poverty is at the center of the Gospel ... Communists say that all this is communism. Sure, twenty centuries later. So when they speak, one can say to them, 'But then you are a Christian'.” If I were to quote the man verbatim. This third one may mean many things, but most commonly interpreted to mean communists are secret Christians. In a way, he may be right considering all the evils modern man will perpetrate in the name of capitalism but still, rather a weird statement.


4. Let’s not forget the hilarious reference to continental Europe as an infertile grandmother. "In many quarters we encounter a general impression of weariness and aging, of a Europe which is now a 'grandmother', no longer fertile and vibrant.


As a result, the great ideas which once inspired Europe to seem to have lost their attraction, only to be replaced by the bureaucratic technicalities of its institutions.”


The world may have largely misinterpreted this statement which may have meant Europe’s neglect of the poor, the dignity of individuals, and human values for technological and economic gain. But then again, maybe the statement may just have been better framed.

So now on to the other exciting things, I bet you didn’t know about the pope…

He once worked as a nightclub bouncer to pay his way through college.

The Pope, believe it or not, loves to tango.
 

An ex-girlfriend told Argentinian reporters that he threatened to become a priest if she didn’t marry him. This guy is now one of the best Popes of the Roman Catholic Church.


He’s a massive sweet tooth. Among his favorites are chocolate-covered alfajores, which are Dulce De Leche-filled Argentine cookies.
 

He is often referred to affectionately as Papa Pancho, as Pancho is a nickname for Francisco
 

He has only one lung, due to an illness he suffered at 21 but he still remains the physical Light of the World Roman Catholics sees.


He studied Chemistry in technical school and Philosophy in college, then taught literature, philosophy, theology, and psychology before becoming an archbishop.
 

Pope Francis loves football and is a big fan of his hometown team, the San Lorenzo Football Club
 

It has been rumored (this cannot really be validated by solid evidence) that the Pope sneaks out of the Vatican at night, dressed as a regular priest, to meet with homeless men and women, and talk about humility.
 

It is at this point I wrap up this piece, look out for the next post in just a little bit. Have a fantastic…whatever part of the day or week you have left. Looking for the Address For Pope Francis... ?Don't mind staying on the Evergreen billboard where you will keep updated on all about pope Francis and the list of popes from the catholic encyclopedia.

The cost of political corruption and natural disasters

The pressure is no longer on our wives and women to maintain “marble flat” tummies after your treatise on “The Pressure That Killed Stella Obasanjo.” …but Administrative corruption.
 

The extent of systemic corruption in government tells us more than poverty about the consequences of natural calamities.
 

Haven’t you browsed through the daily mail Newspapers and the BBC world news websites: - Thousands drown after Elnino floods, an earthquake of 8.8 magnitude kills people in Haiti…

Definitely, this will always occur in countries greatly colonized by evergreen corruption. Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Elnino, and Flush floods would be more violent in regions ruled by fraudulent leaders; leaders who are selfish enough to deny others the right to life. This is because in countries with higher “Corruption Perception Index” (CPI), development activities are initiated without following the defined codes and regulations.


 

Corruption doesn’t only bring down life and buildings but social institutions; corruption destroys both the mortar that holds together physical capital and the glue that binds social capital.
 

Political corruption is what can best define government officials who unethically use their rather democratically gifted powers for illegitimate private gains. Corruption is not limited to Kenya alone. There are Tens of thousands globally who suffer the impact of corruption daily as tallied by Transparency International (TI), one of the best non-governmental organizations headquartered in Berlin, Germany.

Try typing into the google search box "Corruption" and the results and wait for the search results; Corruption in India, corruption in Nigeria, Corruption in Kenya, Waiguru corruption case, Uhuru and corruption and Images of corrupt government officials; this sums up to Corrupt Leadership.
 

The fact that we are still embracing corruption can be one way of amending the qualifications of our leaders. Soon, Political leaders would produce certificates of proven corruption in order to get to the job.

Administrative corruption is so rampant in Africa and in most third world nations that it’s almost an alien culture. Hellman and Jones call these “private payments to public officials to distort the prescribed implementation of official rules and policies.” Could it be colonialism that leaked systemic corruption into Africa? The ancient Africans never knew tax, the military, and policemen, the warriors then were purely for community protection; today, they are tools for hire, reserved for the wealthy Billionaires class.
Categorizing types of corruption, the cause of corruption, and identifying champions of corruption has unfortunately been someone’s multi-billion full-time job; Transparency international. It may appear too common to us making it difficult for us the wananchi to understand its gravity. It's shocking to get to know a one-hundred-year old granny to vividly also knows that corruption is the disease that is now affecting Kenya but some folks may say that is being "DIGITAL” and "INFORMED" as they call it as the old grannies can now grasp a word or two in English.
 

It may sound funny and rubbish but the time of understanding it well is when we will be feeling its consequences which are ruthless so to say.

The fact that corruption is slowly becoming the daily menu of our beautiful nation Kenya is making us to focus majorly on the corrupt individuals rather than finding a solution to eliminate it for good. It was just recently when there was rampant leakage of the K.C.S.E examination but the solution that was being employed was to cancel the whole examination yet the problem is with the examination body itself. Why punish innocent and bright students for a fraudulent mistake initiated by you?
 

Apparently, the overhauling of the educational sector has proven rather difficult because the people who are made ministers of education (or science & technology, agriculture) have no passion for the growth and development of the African institutions but the positions could be a mere appreciation of party loyalists who played the part for the govt to ‘win’ the general election
The best solution that could be offered would be:
 

To fire the officials since by retaining them nothing is solved at all. Cushioning corrupt officials only extends the culture of impunity; no public servant should appear immune to the ethics code.
“Yeah, as individuals we must ensure the societal space is clean and corruption free and find guys of similar values to align with in order to build up accountable and progressive leadership for the future.
People should limit the culture of consumerism and pursue productivity.
Strengthening ant graft institutions for example EACC in Kenya.
Promoting religion and religious teachings that condemn corruption and high dependency in the communities since people listen to their religious leaders as well as political leaders.
Building national values based on the African culture; this would limit the extra capitalist formalities instilled to many by the white man’s magic.
Initiating massive economic growth and development measures that would limit societal poverty.
Corrupt people are criminals and shouldn’t be spared a bullet.
Providing both formal and informal education on corruption and leadership; to fight corruption, the community should learn that Merely shouting from the roof tops that everyone is corrupt creates a larger atmosphere of corruption.
Those in the political leadership should stop misuse of official authority; this includes an award of government contracts and tenders after bribing instead of focusing on competence.

The fact that we are embracing corruption risks changing the qualifications that leaders need to attain in order to acquire certain positions. One may be asked to produce a certificate showing that he or she is corrupt in order to vie for certain positions if we will continue cosseting corruption thus providing favorable conditions for it to breed.


I fear that if we will continue tolerating this cancer, we are going to the dogs and we are the ones who will face the consequences of what we are doing. Let us join hands and decry such practices by calling a spade a spade and remove the corrupt from office.

 I HAVE NO IDEA WHO WROTE THIS BUT IT MAKES INTERESTING READING & FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Friends,
Let me add the benefit of my time as a student and then resident in the UK-and I live in Nairobi now

The first thing that I discovered about UK-born, white, English undergraduates was that all of them did holiday or weekend jobs to support themselves-including the children of millionaires amongst them. It is the norm over there- regardless of how wealthy their parents are. And I soon discovered that virtually all other foreign students did the same-the exception being those of us status-conscious Kenyans.
