I think the church needs an emperor to balance the pope.
It's a yin-yang sort of thing.
Priests back up husbands by influencing women (celibacy assures them a fatherly role,) cardinals back up statesmen by sanctifying their activities, the Pope backs up the Emperor by legitimising his authority.
The church is, in a sense, the wife of the state, and helps keep its house in order with its gentle, feminine influence.
The state needs to learn game again.
Honestly the Catholic leadership is hopelessly corrupt and has been since the 1960's. The Catholic Church has had very evil Popes over the course of its lifetime, but with the advent of mass communication now the Pope has become truly damaging and a poor representation of Christianity.
We'd be better off without Catholic leadership at this point.
Celibacy for priests was implemented about a thousand years ago, so priests have been celibate for roughly half the lifetime of the church. The question you have to ask yourself is: WHY did the church implement this policy change? The answer has nothing to with morality or even sex for that matter. It has to do with marriage and estate law. The church decided it didn't want priests getting married because, when a married priest dies, his estate goes to his family, but when a celibate priest dies, his estate goes to the church. It is a purely financial matter. Thieves in the temple once again. Priests would be far better at their jobs if they were permitted to marry.
The church has fallen even further since that particular policy mistake. In fact, the current pope is not even legitimate under Canon law.

What does that make him? Ann Barnhardt explains that, resignation or no resignation, Benedict XVI is still the Pope, not the Pope Emeritus, which makes the so-called Francis, what, exactly? I'm neither Roman Catholic nor an expert on Vatican law, but there is no question that Mr. Bergolio's behavior has been worrisome, even to many Protestants and non-Christians:
Ann Barnhardt Wrote:Pope Benedict XVI Ratzinger submitted an invalid resignation in February of ARSH 2013, predicated upon the error that the Papacy could be bifurcated or in any way shared or expanded. The relevant Canon is Canon 188, which states very plainly and succinctly:
A resignation made out of grave fear that is inflicted unjustly or out of malice, substantial error, or simony is invalid by the law itself.
Last week, one of the most prestigious Vatican journalists, an Italian named Sandro Magister, published a piece called “A ‘Pontificate of Exception’. The Mystery of Pope Benedict Against the Antichrists who are undermining The Church.” In this piece, the VERY influential and respected Magister quotes Italian Canon Lawyer Guido Ferro Canale at length, who honed-in on a very specific German term used by Pope Benedict’s personal secretary, Archbishop Georg Ganswein in late May: “Pontificate of Exception”, or “Ausnahmepontifikat”. Canale argues persuasively that Ratzinger may have thrown the Petrine Office into a suspended state of juridical emergency.
Magister also quotes Ganswein at length showing that Ratzinger STILL BELIEVES himself, and RESIGNED WITH THE INTENTION of continuing to BE THE POPE....
Jorge Bergoglio is NOT the pope. Joseph Ratzinger is the pope – Pope Benedict XVI. “Pope Francis” is a fiction, and thus all of the scandal and damage that this wicked man Jorge Bergoglio is wreaking is, at its core, a function of the fact that we are calling him by a false name. We all know that it is a wicked lie to call Bruce Jenner “Caitlyn”, because to do so is to assent to a lie. If we can all understand the gravity and scandal of a z-list celebrity and madman calling himself a woman, how much more grave is it to call a man who is NOT the Vicar of Christ, “the Pope?”
What it is high time people start discussing openly is the distinct possibility that Antipope Bergoglio is the False Prophet Forerunner of the Antichrist. Students of End Times prophecy tell us that The Antichrist will neither be the pope (obviously), nor even APPEAR to be the pope. BUT, the False Prophet Forerunner of the Antichrist could certainly APPEAR to be “a pope”. And if one thinks about it, it makes perfect diabolical sense for the False Prophet Forerunner to be precisely that – an antipope. He would wield the authority of Peter, auto-destruct the institutional Church, and even establish a false, apostate church, a “one world religion” with himself at its head, all in preparation for the coming of The Antichrist, who will be a secular leader that attempts to deify himself. And if the False Prophet Forerunner were an antipope, the Holy Ghost would be “kept out of the way” with regards to the graces and protections of the Petrine Office. This is why Bergoglio spews heresy on a near-daily basis. It isn’t because The Holy Ghost is failing, or has forsaken the Petrine Office or the Church. It is because Bergoglio is not the pope. It really is that simple.
What I am now convinced Antipope Bergoglio is doing is attempting to draw “all peoples unto himself” and coalesce his power in preparation for the unveiling of a “one world religion” which will ultimately be the client of a “one world government”. This has been the stated goal of Freemasonry for these last 300 years, manifested in the United Nations, the European Union, and the regime now occupying Washington D.C., and now we see the open and aggressive drive to dissolve all international borders, both conceptually and physically, with Antipope Bergoglio as its primary propagandist. This has also been foretold in countless prophecies.
Now, having grown up in the shadow of various Christian eschatologists, I am extremely disinclined towards the paranoia of the Left Behind crowd, who see the Revelation of St. John playing out every time Russia sends a gymnastic squad to a competition, someone shoots someone else in the Middle East, or a Democrat is elected President. I have heard more candidates for "the Antichrist" than I can recall, from Jimmy Carter to an up-and-coming political player in Uzbekistan.
So, I don't take this sort of Christian fretting about the End Times seriously at all. And yet, it's impossible to deny that there is some seriously freaky stuff taking place behind closed doors in the Vatican at the same time the globalists are going off the deep end with their one-world policies.
All I can really say is that this is really not the world I envisioned when the Berlin Wall came down and the Soviet Union collapsed.

True, most unfortunately, since Vatican II. Still, my message is don't throw the baby with the bathwater.
For what it's worth, I don't believe that Hillary is terminally ill or anything like that. However, her persistent coughing fits are notable and certainly not the result of "pollen allergy".
My best guess is that her cough is the side effect of certain medications, most likely an ACE inhibitor like Lisinopril. Google "ACE cough" -- up to a third of patients that are prescribed these meds develop this kind of dry, hacking cough which can be very hard to deal with. And women are prone to it more than men are.
Hillary was hospitalized in 2012 for a blood clot in her brain, and was treated with blood thinners at the time to help dissolve that blood clot. It would make a great deal of sense that she would be put on prophylactic ACE inhibitors afterwards to reduce the likelihood of more blood clots (that is one of the reasons patients are prescribed ACE inhibitors). I believe her persistent cough has developed at some point since then, so it all makes sense.
These coughing fits, like I said, can be quite tough to control and her handlers must be really dreading something like this happening during a big moment in a debate. It could do her some real damage. Given the Clinton camp's obsession with secrecy it is unlikely that they will release any medical info, so while the real explanation is most likely (relatively) benign, this stuff will just keep hanging over her head and might strike again at an inopportune time for her. I assume they will take some extraordinary measures before each debate to prevent that from happening but apparently it's really not easy to stop this sort of ACE cough (or they would have done so already).
The woman is dying right before our eyes, what could that be? lung cancer? Tuberculosis? Aids from Mr. Rapist Clinton?
I had a good laugh at this. Watch the guy on the right of the frame, his eyes almost pop out of his head when she starts coughing. Like "oh shit, COUGHING HILLARY"

I know in alot of ways the word 'cuck' is the rights own strawman comeback... But seriously... Look at the guys in that photo... Do they, or do they not look like cucks lol...
These coughing fits I think might be campaign enders. After 260 something days, she pops her head out to the press and does an absolute shit job. She then goes to Cleveland and does it again. I think this is going to hurt her a lot.
Democrats dont mind a corrupt politician, but they wont accept one that is sick.

Why is a more benign explanation necessarily more likely than something more serious? Hillary has a past with this stuff and it has only gotten worse and worse since around 2009. If you take the coughing fits and add the seizures, low frequency (and tightly managed nature) of public her appearances, and other bizarre behavior, there is a good argument for more serious problems that are going on outside of just using a specific type of medicine to prevent blood clots (and if she needs a constant dosing of medicine to prevent blood clots, is that really so benign?).
As you think about the resources available to her and add at least 4+ years to plan ahead of the election, one would think that her vast team of doctors and assistants would be able to come up with an alternative to the prophylactic ACE inhibitor routine you theorize she is on. But the exact opposite has happened: this health issue is only getting worse. The quality of medical care that Hillary Clinton has available to her is probably among the best in the world, but they haven't found ANY alternative drug cocktail, lifestyle routine change, or other solution to this "benign" problem that they have YEARS to try and fix ahead of the election? If it was so benign, I think they could have figured out a workable solution to at least prevent the obvious signs of ill health, because most minor heath problems can be solved (or become easily maintainable with little/no outward side effects) within 4 years. Now visualize all the other non-coughing problems she has had. The seizures, falls, freezing up, concussions, etc. As I see it, that's a whole lot of smoke. I would be surprised if the true problem was a minor issue.
Of course it could be a relatively more minor issue. Anything is possible. But is it more likely to be benign than to be a major issue? Its tough to say. I would lean towards it being a bigger issue though.
Florida
Ohio
Iowa
Arizona(i don;t believe this is a tossup...)
Georgia(neither this...but the msm does)
Nevada
Missouri(same for this, not really tossup but w/e)
+
1. Pennsylvania
OR
2. Virginia + North Carolina
So its still a tough road with so many people already decided.
I predict Trump will actually win all of the above + pull an upset in New Mexico, Michigan, Wisconsin and possibly new Jersey. My reasoning is that the only reason why the above are tossup states is because Gary Johnson is polling ridiculously high. I don't think Gary Johnson will crack 4% let alone double digits. Once we get to the debates the choice narrows - 2 candidates and only 2. Also his support is way overstated, i find it hard to believe likely voters who say yes on the phone or online will actually wait in line to vote for Johnson.
I thought Friday was Christmas with the basket of deplorables comment. I was wrong. Today is Christmas. Or maybe Friday was too. It's like the 12 days of Christmas.
This could not have gone down better for the Trump campaign!!!
I was beginning to think this is some sort of conspiracy to get Hillary out of race, considering that the polling this week, even rigged, is showing Trump getting the lead. Her stupid basket comments was the nail in the coffin.
But looks like I blew my load too soon... her campaign is actually denying anything happened, and it was just too hot at the ceremony! Not only has this confirmed the Sick Hillary concerns to be legitimate, it highlights once again how complicit the media is in covering up for her campaign.
In my humble opinion, Trump should play this softly, and even wish her well. Alt-media is already blowing this up on social channels, while any aggressiveness on his part will be viewed as a mean attack on a weaker person.
Right now, by lying about her condition, Hillary is losing ANY sympathy vote she may have gained. The only angle for her campaign to play at this point should be the Roosevelt angle (he was great in spite of his sickness).
