  • pope fuck......or fuck the POPE !

  • You know its bad when even the vatican says its taking the piss now.

  • "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

    Matthew 19:21

  • of all places to talk about equality..

  • "The importance of FRATERNITY is proclaimed in the great "charters" of human rights...particularly the United Nations; and it is called for... by the process of GLOBALIZATION which is LEADING to a PROGRESSIVE UNIFICATION of the ECONOMY, CULTURE and SOCIETY. For their part, the FOLLOWERS of the DIFFERENT RELIGIONS are ever more conscious of the fact that a relationship with the one God, the COMMON Father of ALL, cannot fail to bring about a greater sense of human BROTHERHOOD."-John Paul II

  • First, let me say that I have no love for Rome's TEACHINGS. Secondly, I have no love of the TONE of WORDS used here. Jesus said I must love my enemies. It's apparent that all of you here are enemies of Christ and can be lumped in with Catholics, for they too are enemies of Christ. Since, you are blinded by this world, you cannot see the effect Rome has on the world and her ROLE she plays in end of days. Read John Paul II's World Day of Peace 2001 message. It all boils down to the Mark.

  • Fuck the vatican...Hope that pope BURNS!!!!!

  • The Vatican WHORE...Spiritual Pedophiles

  • Republicans and Democrats are the same damn thing! We need to occupy the white house and overthrow Obama.

  • @DeepSouth16 and yes that's what I thought you have no answer for a question that should be so simple for someone so passionate in their beliefs

  • Pope is a goddamn Communist!

    Funny, in World War 2 the Pope was definitively Fascist.

    What's up with the turnabout?

  • I always love when the Vatican goes on about economic equality as they sit in their golden palace.

  • To all republicans,

    Could you quote me the bible verse that says 'God helps those who help themselves'? Because I'm having a very, very hard time finding it. Actually, if I get the jist of the Bible correctly, it says the exact opposite of that. Help those who can't help themselves.

    So, what's up with that/

  • @shittyfagg They count on the fact that people haven't actually READ the fucking thing, they use God as something to control people with. Gods are for weak people who do not posess the natural optimism to see that they, as Individuals actually matter more than any bullshit, etheral creature supposed to tell you what to do.

    They want change, but instead of doing anything themselves, they go on their knees before god like the cheapest whore and beg the sky to help them (as the gives a fuck).

  • @Psychiatrium I figured. It's sad, though, because I know nobody who believes that the bible says that will listen to me, my youtube comment, or anyone really, short of Pat Robertson.

    Also, I have nothing against religion in general, nothing at all, I believe it can bring a great deal of relief and comfort to some people, it's just that I can't deal with people deliberately making stuff up, giving it a religious coating and using it for their own retarded benefit.

  • @shittyfagg who gives a fuck what god has to say? Just be a good person... no celestial space daddy required

  • @efabrigmail just because you don't care doesn't mean someone who does is stupid. Be a little more open-minded, it doesn't cost much.

  • @shittyfagg you're right... believing in an all-present superdude is stupid whether I think it is or not

  • @efabrigmail that's not what i said

  • @shittyfagg

    If I get the gist of the Bible correctly, it says kill everyone who is not Jewish.

  • Jesus was communist!

  • I'm sorry did he say Republicans lie??? And that they don't really care about religion??? How can that be??? The party that invented family values??? I'm appalled... that ppl didn't realize this sooner!!!

  • the vatican has so much fucking money! I fucking hate the vatican!

  • over here we call the pope emperor palpatine

  • @DeepSouth16 ok what regulations specifically caused the banks to go bankrupt? I will give you a specific lack of regulation with the repeal of the Glass-Steagall act which I am pretty sure you have no idea what that is. I expect that you will have no answer to this, but I thought I would humor myself

  • if the banks are not regulated - THEN THEY SHOULD NOT GET BAILED OUT- they cant have it both ways , how many peoples homes have they reposed , those people were not bailed out and the banks show no mercy taking there homes , they should have let them fail , or by them and keep them , these banks we bought make good profit why are we selling them back to the people who cant be trusted to run them , the profits these banks make would help clear the govenment debt?

  • Ok I feel Cenk took it a little too far. Yes certainly none of these people are as religious as they say they are, but that doesn't mean they aren't religious at all. Though as a practicing Catholic who supports gay rights I probably shouldn't be talking. I just can't wait to see my grandmother's face when she hears about this.

  • @DeepSouth16 Why do you keep talking about handouts and bailouts? Financial regulation has nothing to do with fucking handouts you idiot, fuck do you even understand the argument here? Why do you look at a debate concerning large corporations and automatically start fucking crying about poor or lazy people and class warfare like a typical fucking retarded redneck who probably did not go to university. "GOVT REGULATION AND POLICIES CREATED THIS YOU FUCKING MORON". Outline these?

  • @SamoaMoSamoa537

    Now this is what I like ! SamoaMoSamoa , right on ! I was gonna jump in there and back you up , but I think you

    got this DeepSouth right-wing free-mkt illusionist in jail here . Keep up the good work !

  • @hieronomy cheers man,

  • @DeepSouth16 Asshole... you just said that you don't blame banks for bribing politicians, well who the fuck do you think was behind the Bailout package? Treasury Sec Paulson was a former Goldman Sachs CEO you fucking idiot. Do you honestly believe the Federal Govt willfully decided to just throw away 700 billion dollars waiving any kind of supervision on the usage of funds without any influence from the banks? Liberal Policies? Are you fucking kidding me? Whose administration was it? Retard....

  • Without poverty, Catholicism would not be the machine it is today, which makes this stance quite interesting.

  • but they where against communism? 

  • @dorkydevil Cause communismat the time, in the soviet union was atheistic

  • American Labour Party

  • wait... i don't get it. Do I actually agree with the vatican now?

  • if the pope truly wanted change, he would re-enstate the ORDER OF THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR...

    THE WORLD NEEDS REAL HEROES NOW, THE SUITS HAD THEIR CHANCE!

  • feeling christmas? you won't next month either, or at boxing day.

    billions of asians are going to have better christmas' than you all, and they don't even believe in christ or peace on earth.

    you idiots got sold out, and soon, they'll just kick you out...and if not, they'll just kill you, like they do to millions of whites and blacks every year.

    how? what, you all haven't saw those homeless people roaming around, your own blood...while ASIANS REPLACE YOU ALL.

  • @Zero1RLV4 You are just... all kinds of crazy, huh?

  • @Zero1RLV4

    Don't get smart hop sing . you eat scorpion , bugs , and crawling creatures ! Ha , you even eat dog , ha ! I waff at you !

  • @hieronomy LOL...koreans and other asians do that.

    i'm caucasian you idiot...

  • @Zero1RLV4

    I'm oriental ! big fuking deal . I still laugh at you , dickhead .

  • you can't have that, while canadian, and u.s. governments are handing out free money to asia, and pushing whites and blacks out on the streets.

  • why do u continue to send the same vids over and over again............

  • well why doesn't the pope just pray to the almighty god for devine intervention ? He is after all "the vicar of christ" with obvious supernatural powers ,very strange h'mm?

  • @DeepSouth16 Although I still struggle to see why you choose to blame the federal govt. You are going after people who are too lazy to work and can't make enough money, but why don't poor people just blame the govt. for not being successful since you accept that weak excuse from the banks! I run my own business and I have and never will get a handout if I fail, but if I failed I wouldn't blame the govt like you are I would take responsibility for it.

  • @DeepSouth16 So how did you feel about the repeal of the Glass-Steagall act? This repeal of necessary regulation by the republicans (and a democratic president) is what caused banks to be "too big to fail". What regulations do you think caused the banks to lose all of their money and go bankrupt? On another note the banks pay our politicians, so we can blame the banks for influencing federal govt. policies

  • FUCK THAT BITCH ASS THE POPE ...THE VATICAN...WITH A REAL STATES NET WORTHING TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS THIS DOUCHE COMES AND SPEAK AGAINST WAL STREET? NIGGA YOU PPL ARE THE ORIGINAL HUSTLERS ...GOT EVERYBODY DUMBASS IN THE WORLD CONVINCED THAT THERE IS A MACIG MAN IN THE SKY...

  • That silly little creature dressed in a bunch of curtain material can please fall off it's balcony

  • Cenk is kinda of a dick in this video... the vatican also called for a one world currency and to question ones religion buy one single policy issue the Pope weighed in on is just stupid.

  • @DeepSouth16 ... other people's money in senseless derivative instruments and toxic loans have to do with tyranny? Liberty and freedom? So Goldman Sachs should just have the 'freedom' to fuck over the American people? Yeah I don't have much, so what? I'm going to assume you're middle class and therefore a fucking retard to be blind to the fact that more financial regulation would benefit you. You fucking idiot, I rebuke you in the name of The Lord.

  • @DeepSouth16 Welfare? Handouts? What the fuck does financial regulation have to do with welfare and handouts you retard? It's about stopping the insane fiscal irresponsibility that caused the economic crisis in 2008. I'm talking about Goldman Sachs, I'm talking about Citigroup, I'm talking about Bank Of America. You're talking about people getting shit they don't deserve? These corporations were bailed out by the TAXPAYER you idiot. And how the fuck is stopping these idiots from investing...

  • who cares what those kid fuckers say

  • go hoyas!!!!

  • What's funny about this is that the pope and the Vatican are hypocrites as well,

    Their wealth is estimated at $10 to $15 Billion!

    All the while doing nothing except choirboy fucking.

  • We definitely need economic reform, starting with the VATICAN. Get rid of your golden roof and feed the poor with it.

  • @DeepSouth16

    Really do you have a source for your claim that the banks HAD to take the money? Did they also have to spend it on executive bonuses rather than fixing the problems the money was supposed to go to?

    Equality does not exist. People do have opportunities, but they are nowhere near the opportunities the wealthy have. Equality will never exist as long as the wealthy are allowed to pay politicians to create laws making it easier for the rich, and harder for the poor that is not equality

  • It's important to realize this was not "the Vatican" as such, but rather a dicastery or group that is associated with the Vatican. The distinction is important. The pope himself did not ratify or condone the message of this particular group, and often the pope, and the Magesterium, will disagree with the findings of such a group. Many times in Church history, a group like this has made a pronouncement, but later it was rejected by the teaching authority in the Church.

  • Perdoneme Cenk no de acuredo contigo y no soy un republicano. Just because someone is a Christian it doesn't mean they should be slaves to the people

  • If you believe Catholicism the Pope is the closest person to God and speaks for him, if you believe that and ignore the Pope you are directly defying God.

  • The Pope is saying this? The hypocrisy is far too profound here for me to say anything else.

  • @DeepSouth16 How did they steal money? How about fraudulent activity where they gave people horrible loans and mortgages that they knew they couldn't pay and then bet against them for profit? How about accepting a huge trillion dollar bail out and then sitting on that money, and using it for unearned bonuses, rather than using it to fix their shit? This isn't class warfare.People aren't asking for handouts. They just want a fucking opportunity. Something that equally doesn't exist any more.

  • Big up the Pope!!

  • @DeepSouth16 You're full of shit on this one. Do you even understand the Vatican's statement? The economic equality they're talking about is not to force uniform wages on everyone, it's more to do with closing gaps between classes. They would like a greater degree of regulation implemented in financial institutions to stop powerful corporations from running rampant and stealing money. Oh and the idea that there is already equality or equal opportunity in the USA is a joke - LOL.

  • Fucking exactly Cenk! Uh oh I guess to the right wing the Vatican is now considered liberal bias.

  • Show me a video where the Pope says we need a one world bank..i have looked everywhere and all i can come up with is a department called justice and peace in vatican city said this not the Pope himself..The pope is very old , very fatigued ..so much so he is using a walker..This is a man that gave his entire life to the Church..everyone is just looking for another boogieman..oh lets blame the Pope..no ty.

  • @ronpaulfreedom1 Good point, this message came from a group called Justice and Peace, which is simply a research arm within the Vatican, however, it is important to note it is not official Church teaching and is said with any authority. Many times in history, groups like this have made pronouncements which contradict official Church teaching and the Magesterium will officially reject their conclusions.

  • the european 'liberal' translates to the u.s 'libertarian'.

  • @DeepSouth16 grow up kid,

  • I don't know they exploited Europe's people for some 2000 years... meh I think we can trust them.

  • Kinda feel sorry for the pope, not even his followers listen to him.

  • Oh sh--! The Pope is more liberal than the Democrats.

  • @Nebulae8 Only for economic equality. But not so much for homosexuality, abortion and women rights.

  • fuck the Vatican

  • How long until that 'economic liberalism' quote gets taken out of context?

  • @Shiggedy

    I'm a little surprised it hasn't been already.

  • @Shiggedy Your were late, I find one website where they had twisted that... However, it's a moronic website, and they don't mean much.

  • I am not religious but as a European I have to say that the church's social viewpoints have done much good for our society. In fact, almost the entire European welfare system was based on Christian democracy, a powerful centrist movement that is unfortunately completely absent in American politics

  • they're lying?

  • 2 things I can respect them for now, Supporting evolution and taking a stand against the big corporations and the banks. Slowly but surely they are making progress.

  • Quick we need to deflect all the issues we are having in Spain, Ireland and around the World! (Grabs Pope hat) Go OWS!

  • The nazi pope speaks! How ironic!!!

  • Republicans, by and large, are not Catholics. And the few who are Catholic are remarkably hypocritical.

  • It wont get brushed under. This is at least the second time in a short period that I've heard such a statement from the Vatican (OK the first was technically by pope Benedict himself, but enfin).

  • This is not surprising, the Vatican is tired of being on the wrong side of history.

  • What does a Judeo-Christian heritage have to do with Catholicism?

  • I've noticed a trend within the Christian religion. Every year a lot of Christians are getting disenfranchised with the religion and becoming atheist or agnostic. The people who are left within the religion are becoming more and more aggressive. They are supporting war more, they don't believe in turning the other cheek etc.

  • This coming from the people who allow Pedofiles go.

  • As serious as this issue is I couldn't stop laughing. The reason being I had the closed captioning on and some of the choices the program made for what Cenk was saying was down right bizarre.

  • The vatican also railed for a new world central bank. So you really fucking failed on this story Cenk, because we all know that actually means further rail roading, further austerity measures, further income disparity.

  • You know, I'm actually happy with the current state of affairs in the world.

    If it finally gets people to actually fucking THINK, and realize that the entirety of our Civilization is one HUGE scam created by those in power, then maybe FUCKING FINALLY we'll all work together and do something about it.

    But, since I know history is a bitter teacher, you fuckers will just become more apathetic till its too late; and then you'll be come violent like so many primitive monkeys flinging feces/bombs.

  • awesome

  • How about their own finacial inequality?

    

  • the Vatican and the Rothschild family (controllers of the privately held "federal" reserve) has been in cahoots for years==what the Pope called for last week was a world central bank-one world currency--this has been long been planned-new world order...we must stop this madness

  • The Vatican is a bunch of Communist Socialist!

  • Comment removed

  • I absolutely agree with you on this issue Catholic Church. Thank you for making it easier for us to protest against these greedy fucks.

  • The Vatican advocated Serfdom until the late 1800's, I call bullshit on that statement. Especially with their palaces of GOLD!

  • lol says the Ex-Nazi that has a Palace of Gold!

  • The Vatican is just trying to cover their butts...it's a ploy to appease the poor...they don't want the poor Italians occupying St Peter's Square

  • Even the Vatican can be right once

  • Uh... isn't the Vatican one of the wealthiest entities in the world? Hell, just their gold is worth upwards of 30 billion. Perhaps they should take their own advice and spread around some of that wealth.

  • @ShaTR2 Not even close.

  • @TheFunkadelicFan Closer than you'll like to believe.

  • This might explain why "Republicans" act how they act any many other people

    /watch?v=MgGyvxqYSbE&feature=c­hannel_video_title

  • I am actually astonished that this statement came from the Vatican.

  • I hate how politicians use the church for their own gain, they piss me off when they say something COMPLETELY against the Christian scriptures, the Good News is not "The banks fucked us over again because [politician] gave lower regulations and allowed them to."

  • Wow. I can't believe I'd vote for the Vatican party over the Republican party.

  • ew catholic priests are little boy pee pee touchers

  • oh that Pope is old. they gonna elect new Pope right here in America, Pat Robinson is the name or someone like. According to Fox news Jesus was a capitalist

  • Well done pope! after hundreds of years of crushing poverty, colonialism, famines, ethnic cleansing, world wars, hundreds of years of capitalism.

    they FINALLY admit that something might be wrong. fuck off, too little too late. dissolve the catholic church. full of clowns and paedophiles who couldnt care less about the suffering people.

  • 2:08 proof that politicians don't care about religion

  • The Catholic Church knows how to regulate corrupt abusers of the financial system the oldschool Christian way.

    .

    After all, the Papacy held out longer than Spain and Portugal in the 1800s when it comes to which European power still clinged onto legal segregation of Jews.

  • "They're lying!!" Uhhh so is the Vatican, the richest most corrupt bank in the world, lolz

  • I cant wait the day the church loses all the power and money. fucking lunatics.

  • I think in the treaty between the Pope and Mussolini, the Catholic Church was granted quite remarkable concessions in Rome outside the Vatican City as well.

    .

    These buildings, as with St Peter Basilica, would have priceless real estate value.

    But instead of dealing with money, the Pope could stop the medieval ridiculous propaganda concerning f.e aids etc.

    .

    To further help the world, openly denounce U.S Christians as possessed by Lucifer and being heretic mammonist devils.

    That would do. :)

  • Comment removed

  • Don't 'cut' taxes. Abolish the IRS.

  • @Otzmatron really? u gonna do u taxes voluntarily i suppose

  • Yeah they also called for a world government.

  • How much is the pope's hat worth?

  • @CHAOSoriginal ---

    That is a very good question.

    .

    Why does the peope not carry those special crowns stuffed with jewellery that they used to have, :(

  • The old religions are full of equality, justice and solidarity.

    .

    Both Catholic Christianity and Sunni Islam have strong tradition of such.

    This has been wellknown and practiced, alongside paradoxal corruption and greed, for centuries and centuries.

    .

    It's justthat for U.S far-right clowns, the Catholic Church is now a communist Muslim atheist terrorist organization.

  • Catholic Americans in general have never really listened to the Pope, because they were cut off from the Church for years because travle by ocean took months. When word did get to them, they liberaly interpreted it to fit into their new lifestyles in America. American Catholics angered the Pope so badly that he wanted to send special Spanish Priests along with troops to force them to obey the Church, but England took issue with that. JFK also refused to listen to the Pope making him angery!

  • Except Ron Paul and Gary Johnson....

  • Mayne I wish I remembered what tyt clip had that republican who said we don't listen to jesus on everything or whatever when they were talking about christian conservative hypocracy on wealth. Anyway we all know they just use religion.

  • You mean the same Vatican holding BILLIONS in wealth and power?

  • Great, now if they only stop preaching against condoms in Africa and shielding paedophiles from the law and claiming to be a state I can finally stop hating them.... Perhaps not.

  • @OdinLowe

    1.condoms in africa - I think UNESCO found that promoting condoms in africa led to higher cases of VD, they specifically agreed with the Vatican's point i.e. promoting condoms promotes promiscuity in the mindset of many third-world men.

    2. shielding pedophiles, you'll find higher incidents of pedophilia among teachers than catholic priests, and as much "shielding" by school authorities.

    3. Uh what? What's THAT got to do with anything?? lol.

  • @someonegetsteve 1. There is no reputable evidence which suggests that proper use of condoms increases STIs of any kind.

    2. Whether or not that's true(I'll assume it is, although I don't know it to be fact) the main issue is that most priests are protected by the Vatican via Canon law; which is why no. 3 is important... The main document they justify their statehood with is the Lateran Treaty, which was signed as a deal between the Italian Fascists and Pope Leo the whatever numeral... mustigoon?

  • @OdinLowe Word.

    A single progressive statement doesn't excuse a lifetime of misdeeds...

  • @Valoric0 that's kind of what I was getting at haha

  • Lol. Oh C'mon Cenk, we all know politicians use religion to further their own political agenda. They're politicians, they don't give a damn about religion.

  • The Vatican is the richest bank in the world for those who didn't know.

  • If the Vatican is supporting anything, you can bet your last dollar, its in their best interest, not yours, mine or their deluded followers.

  • This deserves the biggest "Of coooooooouuurse!" of all time.

  • The church also accepts evolution and the big bang theory. At least they aren't completely blinded by their faith like many religious people in this country.

  • Capitalism and Catholicism. Both start with a C, both need to disappear forever!

  • @TrickyEmu I know another word that begins with C, and I tend to use most often when talking about the other two Cs.

  • I find it pitiful that so many of the commentators here can not properly distinguish between different issues.

    You are no different than those who would not listen to Palestinians, because SOME Palestinians have murdered people. Or if I would not listen to Americans, because "they" voted George W. Bush into the White House. And did it TWICE, for fucks sake.

    The Vatikan is DEAD RIGHT on this issue, can´t you just leave it at that? And no, I am NOT pro-child-molestor.

  • @taxiuniversum great points. sometimes ppl want to throw the water out with the baby.

  • @dharmaatdawn:

    Indeed.

  • @taxiuniversum Its more pitiful when an institution directly contradicts their empty sentiments by the actions they choose to take (using money they make off tax cuts to cover up their own disgrace). Which is something you fail to see. =[

  • @Babylondemolitionist:

    When I heard about the insane coverups of priests sexually abusing children, I was OUTRAGED. I wrote several rather clear letters of complaint to the institutions of the Catholic Church. By the way: I am not member of the Catholic Church. But from personal experience, I can say that many catholic priests (and of course also simple catholic church-goers) try to "do the right thing". This ought to be acknowledged. Mutual respect is very important in a communicative society.

  • @taxiuniversum I'm not sure if I'd agree with that analogy. I think that in that case, people painted all the Palestinians with the same brush. They said "Well, some Palestinians are murderers, so they must all be murderers". Here, Cenk says that some religious people are power-hungry liars, but he also said that others (in this case, the Vatican) aren't... Unless I'm not getting the analogy? Plus, if you think about it, what's the point of mentioning the Vatican's stance if he's not going to...

  • @taxiuniversum ... somehow connect it to what's currently happening? But maybe I'm missing your point - I dunno.

  • One good thing here ;;;; the pope dont got so mutch international political power. Thats something we shud be glad over, not cry over it becose of your national poletics

  • ...and then the Pope muttered non-sense and took a shit in his diaper.

  • Money when you mess with my money.Remember what the young man did wwhen Jesus told him to sell his stuff and give it to the poor.The young man loved his money more than her loved Jesus.

  • Big hypocrites since Christian political parties all support free market capitalism. Many Christians support right-wing ideals, I have seen very little left-wing Christians. Most Christians support right-wing political parties.

    Here in the Netherlands the Christian Democratic Appeal is right-wing so is the Reformed Political Party, which is very right-wing Christian ( Republican style ). The CDA used to be centrist, but became more right-wing in the last ten years.

  • @UDSS

    Just saying, I'm a s left a Christian as it can get. There's more of us than you know. Some other feels obligated to follow in line with their families though, it's a long line of being too scared to break away from the trend they were born in. Until that is broken, there will be a lot of right wing Christian nuts.

  • REAL catholics that care about the bible and jesus, should not be for the free market. Hell, jesus was against almost ALL trade, busting up market places etc.

  • @SinisterSkip Jesus was against cheating traders and profiting from worshiping God. Not all trading was bad, just Sharing was better. Do for others as you would have them do for you. No other words of Jesus say more than that. If we could all treat others as we would like to be treated, this world could be a better place.

  • So what of the Vatican Bank...? It's the epitome of dodgyness...

  • vatican called for world bank, run by the banks; how's that for equality?

  • They have their own court that they obey. We take part in our justice system too.

    When you stand in front of a judge and he asks you are you "JOHN DOE" and you say yes, you are accepting the court has power over you, a soveign entity,Nobody owns you unless you let them. Preist give themselves to the church. When you are born your parents give you to your country, and those are the rules YOU follow.

    If you where on a boat for insance, and killed someone, you are only liable under maritime law.ect

  • The catholic church also agrees with evolution, but the retard American politicians and church goers don't care about that either ( gawd made us from dirt and a rib duh).

  • The fact that using religion for political benifits actually works... that's just sad.
