Chapter 898 The Calamity of Rome
Chapter 899 Francis plays rock and roll
After the President and Vice President of the United States take the oath of office on Capitol Hill, they will hold a luncheon.
The luncheon usually features dishes from the new president and vice president's hometown, but there are also some White House owners who like luxury, so guests attending the luncheon are in for a treat.
After the luncheon, the presidential motorcade drove along Pennsylvania Avenue, accompanied by the honor guard of the three services, civil groups, military bands and various floats. The president, vice president and guests boarded the viewing platform in front of the White House to watch the parade.
After the parade, the president entered the White House. On the evening of the inauguration, the Presidential Inauguration Committee held numerous balls to congratulate the new president on his assumption of office.
The tradition of holding a ball in Washington began when President James Madison was inaugurated in 1809.
For American high school students, there are three dances that must be attended, the welcome party, the Thaddeus dance and the graduation prom, especially the graduation prom. In order to leave the best and most unforgettable memories for the last year of school, there will be
It is the goal of every high school girl to elect the so-called "king" and "queen" and become the prom queen.
Joseph once saw a girl renting a stretch car in order to show off at the dance.
Her dress and behavior are very queenly, but compared with the first lady at the White House President's inauguration party, she is still too young and her sharp edge is a bit exposed.
In other words, they shouldn't have been compared from the beginning. They have nothing in common except that they are both women.
However, the "gentlemen" were obviously more attentive to providing services to young and beautiful single women than to the first lady.
Due to the president's special preference for White House interns, blue skirts were popular in Washington for a while.
The nuns' robes are not all black. Sister Tobiana, who is dancing with St. Robert Cardinal Bernard in the drawing room at the moment, is wearing a Bosch nun's robe.
In October 1950, Mother Teresa and 12 other nuns established the Missionary Sisters of Charity, and changed the church's nuns' uniforms to the traditional Indian women's sari, with white cloth trimmed with simple blue borders, and became the Sisters of Charity.
nun's uniform.
This cardinal from Argentina can not only dance tango, he can also play electric guitar.
Who has ever seen the Pope singing while holding a guitar?
Many teenagers in the Americas play tricks in their garages, some start a band, and some start a computer company. Many famous companies in Silicon Valley started out of garages.
But the Pope plays rock?
The papal inauguration ceremony in the Vatican is a Mass, which is suitable for funerals. Who would watch a priest kneeling and playing guitar at a funeral?
Not to mention those cardinals who were in their seventies or eighties, even Joseph's heart couldn't bear it, but the nuns dancing with him were very happy.
The colorful tango emerged in the slums in the back alleys of Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. Bishop Bergoglio was the eldest son of five children. When he was a teenager, he worked as a janitor in a bar to earn money.
Growing up in a slum, he had a deep understanding of the lower class society, and his tango dancing skills became increasingly sophisticated under the influence of the environment. It is said that at that time, he and his friends put on white jackets every Saturday night and danced tango all night long until the next morning.
He even fell in love with his dance partner.
Unlike other bishops who keep their private lives private, Bergoglio never hides his love for tango.
He once said that a sad person cannot dance, and a person who cannot express joy is always serious.
He is a passionate person, just like the rock music he likes. When he was 12 years old, he was infatuated with a girl of the same age, Amalia. Every time he saw her, he always asked carefully: "How are you?"
How are you doing?" Later, he finally plucked up the courage and wrote a letter to his sweetheart: "If I can't marry you, I will become a priest!" In the letter, the young man, who had just begun to fall in love, thought about their happy life after marriage, and also
Describes in detail how to decorate a small home after marriage.
However, after Amalia's parents discovered the love letter, they strongly demanded that the two break off their relationship. Not only was Amalia unable to respond to the Pope's affection, she even received a slap in the face from her father for this.
He was quite melancholy about his first love, but he did not feel pain about it. He was more concerned about issues such as poverty, environmental protection, fairness, and disadvantaged groups.
He denounces unbridled consumerism, opposes discarding and waste, and is known for his frugality and caring for the poor. Some people hate his behavior, while others appreciate his frankness. No wonder he is the second most popular person in the pope.
Before he suffered cardiac arrest, Joseph left this terrible room and danced with the nun. The world was crazier than he thought.
Mother Teresa once said:
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered. Even if you are kind, people may still say you are selfish and have bad motives.
When you become successful, you will have some false friends and some real enemies. Even if you are honest and forthright, people may still lie to you.
If you find peace and happiness, they may be jealous of you. The good things you do today will often be forgotten tomorrow.
But even so, friendliness, frankness, and happiness cannot be forgotten.
Merciful Jesus said, I came for sinners to make them repent.
Joseph is not as great as Jesus, and the exorcism ritual is only an auxiliary. First, the possessed person must let go of those dark thoughts, turn his heart toward Jesus again, and learn to love others to get rid of the control of the devil.
You don't need to win everything. If you win everything alone, then everyone else will become a loser.
The "prom queen" is often surrounded by false friends, who hang out together when she's glamorous and stay away when she's in trouble. They won't help the "queen" when she's down on her luck.
Joseph shook his head, as if he wanted to get a certain memory out of his mind in this way.
The reason why some people work so hard to make money is because they are afraid of a poor life.
In order to get rid of this negative emotion, he has been trying to make money in order to ensure his dominant position. Losing money will make him feel that he is completely defeated and dominated by others. This feeling of weakness and incompetence makes him feel more painful than a life of poverty.
It just so happens that the United States is a country that measures social status based on how much money you have. People like this tend to get along well, but the degree of evil in their hearts is not as great as in Europe or Asia.
Many people have given up their American citizenship and immigrated to other countries.
Some people on this side went to countries like Morocco to avoid taxes, while others wanted to go to better countries like Zurich.
However, it is not that easy to leave. You also have to pay an "abandonment tax." In the eyes of US government officials, these people who evade taxes overseas are "Fat Cats" and all property of those who abandon the country will be forfeited.
The calculation of nationality the day before is all property worldwide. The United States has the best financial elites in the world, ensuring that rich people who want to abandon the country will not be able to pay a penny less.
Moreover, some industrial elites involved in national security issues have never thought of immigrating. In addition to the FBI responsible for domestic affairs, there is also the CIA responsible for foreign countries.
Since 2001, the U.S. government has been suppressing overseas assets. Swiss banks are recognized as a good place for money laundering. Of course, they are inevitably targeted. Those American "elites" accused Swiss banks of helping American taxpayers hide their property.
.
The Americans are only interested in profit and deny their relatives. They even monitor their NATO allies and even the Vatican has been monitored.
Perhaps only cities like Detroit, which cannot even afford to turn on street lights, are immune to the risk of being monitored.
There are no friends in the espionage world. In order to "win", they will do anything.
The bald eagle, the national bird of the United States, represents bravery, strength and victory, but that bird is actually a vulture. However, this bird does not eat carrion like the African vulture. The main food is fish, but if bad luck sometimes happens, they will
Eating carrion.
America is de-Christianizing, and there are fewer and fewer young believers.
Correspondingly, the Indian culture is recovering, and many people think it is cool to wear Indian amulets and engage in totem worship.
The bald eagle, which represents victory and strength, is the totem of the United States, just like Caesar's eagle in the Roman army.
People who are looking for a sense of reality in the virtual world must have something wrong with their brains, but there are still many people who take the content of TV talk shows seriously. The public goes to churches to attend mass during the day and goes to magic markets at night to search for the ancient magical power of the Germanic people.
.
The new witchcraft movement is moving closer to nationalism and separatism. Why must we look for Germanic black magic?
Oh, and African voodoo is even worse.
Joseph gritted his teeth and thought about those healthy life stores, vegetarian dinners, sororities, and eco-environmentalists who could assemble their favorite rituals by reading a few occult books. Most of them were ineffective. Occasionally, there were one or two.
If it is effective, it will cause big trouble, and its level of madness is more terrifying than the pope who plays rock music.
These rituals mainly attract people who lack self-confidence and loneliness. On the other hand, traditional customs are losing their appeal and cannot meet people's religious needs.
In short, they just love the adrenaline rush.
Isn’t it good to live a good life? Why should you cause trouble to others?
"For God's sake, don't play with the Ouija board!" he growled in a bad temper.
The secular people who worked in the Apostolic Palace looked at him inexplicably, as if they were looking at a madman.
