I’m guessing he forgot about the first two Commandments
A Jesuit priest prefers prison over a fine to draw attention to climate change
A Jesuit priest says he prefers going to prison than paying a 500-euro ($541) fine for participating in a climate activists’ street blockade in the southern German city of Nuremberg.
The Rev. Jörg Alt started serving his nearly monthlong prison sentence on Tuesday in Nuremberg.
“Today, I am starting my 25-day alternative custodial sentence in Nuremberg prison,” he said before entering the prison. “I don’t like doing this, especially as my health is no longer the best at the age of 63. But I see no alternative, because it’s the last form of protest I have left in this specific case to draw attention to important issues” such as climate change.
After the court’s decision, authorities repeatedly asked Alt to pay the 500 euros, before the fine was eventually commuted to the 25-day prison sentence.
Well, he says he has no money.
The court ruling in November was in connection with a street blockade in August 2022, when the Jesuit priest and about 40 other activists blocked traffic in Nuremberg by gluing their hands to a street in front of the city’s train station to draw attention to climate change.
Just another example of the climate cult co-opting those who took a vow to serve God.
A Jesuit priest is normally supported by his order, so Fr Alt almost certainly has the 500€ to pay the fine; he is simply choosing not to do so.
At least in the United States, Jesuits are, sadly, among the most politically liberal priests. And the priesthood in Deutschland is even worse, with much of the clergy favoring ignoring the Bible’s commands condemning homosexual activity and favoring the ordination of women.
Fortunately, we are seeing a growing religious conservatism among seminarians and younger priests in the United States. That does not automatically mean an increasing political conservatism on everything, but it does tend to mean increasing political conservatism on the social issues.
I enjoyed, was even inspired by, working with the Jesuits. They were intellectual and curious, unlike most christians.
Their obligations:
It is no surprise, given their philosophy, that Jesuits are viewed as “liberals”. Looking after not only the spiritual needs of others, but also justice, human rights, social well-being of the poor and marginalized.
Reactionary catholics hate and persecute LGBTQs, Blacks, immigrants, non-christians, viewing homosexuality as worse than starvation and torture!
Rimjob: I enjoyed, was even inspired by, working with the Jesuits.
N9 surprise there. Read that some of the priests are into ass fucking little boys too.
The man who told us, , on February 23, 2024,
now tells us:
So, which is it? Were you “inspired” by the Jesuits, or do you still see being (mistakenly) called a Christian an insult?
Sadly, the Jesuits, who are Catholic priests, have, in their zeal to look after “justice, human rights, social well-being of the poor and marginalized” have also stepped outside of what God has told us is wholly unacceptable.
To the insulted Mr Dowd, it is “reactionary” for Catholics to accept and believe in what we are actually told in the Bible, in both the Old and New Testaments.
Of course, Mr Dowd assumes that disapproval of homosexual activity, that seeing it as a grave sin, as is specified in the Bible, is tantamount to “hat(ing) and persecut(ing) ‘LGBTQs.”
Blacks? Our favored candidate for the papacy, once His Holiness the Pope resigns (unlikely) or goes to his eternal reward, is Robert Cardinal Sarah, of Guinea, who’s black. Sadly, he’s probably too old, at 79, to be considered papabili, and I would prefer Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, 68, of San Francisco.
Our severe secularist from St Louis really loves to bloviate on the Catholic Church and Catholics in general, but he really doesn’t know much about the subject.
Our Catholic apologist doesn’t understand how one could respect and even be inspired by a christian independent of their religion.
Genuinely believing that gods, demons, angels, miracles exist is delusional. At least homosexuals and the transgendered actually exist!!
Compared to reactionary and vengeful christians, the Jesuits appeared to be humane, tolerant and empathetic.
The good Catholic, Mr Dana, would let Americans who cannot afford healthcare die. He would silence the electoral voices of all but white, christian, straight males!
To you, what does it mean to NOT tolerate LGBTQ persons, who exist whether you approve or not.
Mr. Dana implied he doesn’t understand Rimjob’s hypocritical rantings and contrarian beliefs.
Too bad you wren’t “inspired” to use capitalization corretly.
The objective of Project 2025 and the Trump administration:
David A Graham in The Atlantic
When you finally name a source it’s a commie? BTW, what is wrong with the America you just described? Not enough perverts and pinkos?
drowningpuppies has a tight hole…
Ahhh, Project 2025, one of the left’s favorite bugaboos.
Now, tell me what is wrong with those goals! An economy in which husbands work and earn enough to support a family is somehow a bad thing? A culture in which mothers stay at home rather than having their children reared by day care workers? A culture in which children are not slaughtered? A culture in which men and women marry younger — that’s part of the “larger families” part — and divorce is rare? Schools which teach “old-fashioned values and lessons,” schools which produced men willing to fight, and die, to oppose Naziism, rather than the idiots of today, who support the ‘Palestinians’ and Hamas, which is supporting those who want to end Western civilization?
In the 1950s, we had the best educational achievement in the world; today, we are far down the list among developed nations. We have great public schools, which the Democrats defend, in which the percentages of students scoring at grade-level proficient in reading and math are in the single digits!, but the distinguished Mr Dowd sees that as ‘progress’.
We evil, white, colonialist settlers came to an underpopulated, undeveloped, and wild country, and in 300 years we turned it into the healthiest, most prosperous, most developed nation ever seen on earth, and today’s left somehow sees that as evil, as rotten, and they so desperately wanted to fix what wasn’t broken.
Nothing is wrong with those things! If that is what people want.
Of course, it was ecoomic circumstances – and the allure of modern capitalism – that made it necessary for mothers to go to work. Television encouraged spending!!
In the 50s and 60s, our father worked, my mother stayed home, minding our large family. We had one car. We were poor, but made do. Blue Cross-Blue Shield insurance. Some of us went to the local state university, paying our own way, or on athletic scholarships. As teens we all had part-time jobs.
Granted the post-war period was the golden age for the US working class.
Today, the working class has to not only support their families but also produce multi-millionaires and billionaires!!
The top 1% of earners receive roughly 21% of national income, while the top 10% holds nearly three-quarters of all wealth!!
