Just because it's funny and nuts and people take him seriously. Seriously.

Fr. Z's Peace Plan...

So, what to do about North Korea?

Since this blog is probably being monitored by teams from about 17 national security agencies, here’s my idea! 

• Make a deal with China: they annex NOKO.

• Convince Seoul to agree or at least shut up about it.

• Give China money to feed the NOKOs for 2-3 years.

• China allows US and South Korea to invest in economic and commercial infrastructure in China’s new province/protectorate.

• Result: China gets buffer state it can control (better than it can now), the West get’s a place to invest, and the world is rid of a threat.

So, fellas, kick the idea upstairs and see what happens.  This might be better than death and destruction. 

And to the teams from the agencies, who probably also watch me through my phone, as I’ve said before, if you send me your addresses, I’ll send you some pizzas!  Deal? - Fr. Z

Really?

Just don't look at the flash and you'll be fine.

Vatican document calls for global authority to regulate markets!!!

New World Order!

VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- A Vatican document called for the gradual creation of a world political authority with broad powers to regulate financial markets and rein in the "inequalities and distortions of capitalist development."

The document said the current global financial crisis has revealed "selfishness, collective greed and the hoarding of goods on a great scale." A supranational authority, it said, is needed to place the common good at the center of international economic activity.

The 41-page text was titled, "Toward Reforming the International Financial and Monetary Systems in the Context of Global Public Authority." Prepared by the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, it was released Oct. 24 in several languages, including a provisional translation in English.

The document cited the teachings of popes over the last 40 years on the need for a universal public authority that would transcend national interests. The current economic crisis, which has seen growing inequality between the rich and poor of the world, underlines the necessity to take concrete steps toward creating such an authority, it said. - CNS

Holy crap Batman!  What does this mean?  Vatican approval for the Occupy Wall Street/ overthrow capitalism crowd?

Just kidding.  Or am I?  At any rate, don't worry, I'm sure there will be a retraction in the morning.  Fr. Z has a call into  Fr. Sirico at the Acton Institute - keep tuning in.
