Adolfo Nicolás Pachón - Superior General of the Jesuit Order in United States?


At such a time as this?
Debt as far as the eye can see...
Will this peculiar visit deal a final death blow to the dwindling status quo?

There's a prominent person in the country, yet the News Media is silent about his presence;
To borrow a phrase from a popular talk show host:
All you hear are the crickets...

Adolfo Nicolás Pachón, the Black Pope, as he is popularly known by Protestants, is in the United States of America on a Low Profile (incognito) visit to the Jesuit Province in New England according to Jesuit Media:

Agenda of the Director General: P. Adolfo Nicolás, S.J.

Did the TSA give the Black Pope an Enhanced Screening?

---At the very same time Cardinal Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson is also in the country?
Cardinal Turkson will 'explain' to American Catholics what Caritas in Veritate means?

Is this synchronicity or what?

Vatican City, Jan 13, 2011 / 05:33 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- When he travels to the United States next month, Cardinal Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson is aware that he may have to make some adjustments in the way he talks about the Church’s social teaching.

As president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, the Ghanaian cardinal, 62, is charged with making the Church’s social teaching more widely known and practiced around the world.

He will be in Washington to deliver the plenary address of the 2011 Catholic Social Ministry Gathering, Feb. 13-16. The gathering, on the theme of “Protecting Human Life and Dignity: Promoting a Just Economy,” is sponsored by 19 Catholic organizations, including the U.S. Catholic bishops.

In a recent interview with CNA, Cardinal Turkson said he has learned from past experience that the Church’s justice and peace terminology often needs clarification for an American Catholic audience. Key terms used by the Vatican — such as “social justice” and “gift” — are not always understood the way the Vatican intends, he said.

"We found out that some of the vocabulary which is just taken for granted and used freely may not always have the same sense or may have had some nuances which sometimes are missed because of the way the terms are used in the American political context,” Cardinal Turkson said in a Jan. 12 interview at the council’s offices in Rome.

Pope Benedict XVI appointed Cardinal Turkson to his post in Oct. 2009, just months after the Pope released his blueprint for the Church’s social teaching, “Caritas in Veritate” (Charity in Truth). The council has since made promotion of the Pope’s vision a top priority.

The encyclical outlines Pope Benedict’s plan for "integral human development" in economics
, society and politics through the principles of charity and truth.

Cardinal Turkson said the Vatican is pleased by response to the document. But he said reaction from some sections of the audience in the United States was unexpected.

.

More synchronicity still:
.
Yesterday, Monday February 14, 20111, President Obama revealed his 2012 Budget; Which is actually a tax and spending increase.. A proposal the President is trying to 'sell' as a Budget Cutting Plan that will save BILLION$ from now until the year 2021. According to Obama's latest press conference "it's a starting point".

How can so many incidents occur at the same time?
Is this a coincidence, OR WHAT?
A convergence of paradigm shifting events?



  1. A nonchalant Visit of the Black Pope to the USA,

  2. a visit of the president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, to explain (to LECTURE) the Vatican doctrine of Social Justice, "Promoting a Just Economy" gathering, Integral Human Development of Economics = Caritas in Veritate?

  3. The President's Budget Cutting Plan/Budget for FY 2012.

No way Jose! More precisely, no way Adolfo!

Arsenio.
