The Vatican has not commented on the remarks , and has not responded to requests for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation .
CNA bolded the parts of Francis ’ s comments that were reportedly excerpted for the documentary : “ I was asked a question on a flight – after it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for how one news outlet transmitted it – about the familial integration of people with homosexual orientation , and I said , homosexual people have a right to be in the family , people with homosexual orientation have a right to be in the family and parents have the right to recognize that son as homosexual , that daughter as homosexual .

@ @ @ @ @ @ @ they ‘ have a right to a family.

Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano , the Holy See ’ s former ambassador to Washington and an outspoken critic of Pope Francis , said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the media , are “ totally heterodox and constitute a very serious cause of scandal for the faithful.
” Vigano warned that Pope Francis , whom Vigano addresses using the pope ’ s former name of Jorge Mario Bergoglio , is purposefully causing division in the Catholic Church .
“ It appears that Bergoglio is impudently trying to ‘ raise the stakes ’ in a crescendo of heretical affirmations , in such a way that it will force the healthy part of the Church — which includes bishops , clergy , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , in order to declare that healthy part of the Church schismatic and ‘ the enemy of the Pope , ’ ” Vigano wrote .
Progressive Catholic clergy defended the pope and insisted that his words were misinterpreted , though others like Jesuit priest James Martin praised the step as a “ major step forward in the church ’ s support for LGBTQ people.

Broadway is closed, Manhattan offices are empty as remote work dominates, violent crime is surging, and an exodus of people from the city has created a perfect storm of economic chaos that will haunt many New Yorkers for years.
A byproduct of the virus-induced economic downturn is food and housing insecurity for millions of people in the Tri-state area. Deep economic scarring produced by permanent job loss has left many people in a bind; some working-poor may never recover while others could take years.
Food and housing insecurity will be, or should be, a hot subject as millions in the Tri-state area are suffering ahead of the holidays. Readers may recall in early October, the Community FoodBank of New Jersey warned that more than one million New Jerseyans were expected to suffer food insecurity by the end of the year.
Now the problem is becoming more widespread. At least one million New Yorkers are expected, or will soon, experience food insecurity, according to FOX 5 NY.

truepundit--2020-10-26--BofA: Fed Will Use Digital Dollars To Unleash Inflation, Universal Basic Income And Debt Forgiveness

When we recently described the upcoming “ Unprecedented monetary overhaul ” which will come in the form of the Fed sending out digital dollars directly to “ each American ” , we explained that “ absent a massive burst of inflation in the coming years which inflates away the hundreds of trillions in federal debt , the debt tsunami that is coming would mean the end to the American way of life as we know it .
And to do that , the Fed is now finalizing the last steps of a process that revolutionizes the entire fiat monetary system @ @ @ @ @ @ @ commercial banks as financial intermediaries , as they will allow the Fed itself to make direct deposits into Americans ’ “ digital wallets ” , in the process enabling truly universal basic income , while also making Congress and the entire Legislative branch redundant , as a handful of technocrats quietly take over the United States.
” In short , we laid out the Fed ’ s true reasoning behind the coming Digital Dollars not as how Fed Chair Powell recently described them , which as a reminder was as follows : • @ @ @ @ @ @ @ physical currency • Reaching consumers who have been traditionally underserved by financial institutions … but as a short circuit to a clearly broken monetary transmission mechanism , one which seeks to facilitate universal basic income and unlimited helicopter money , by completely overhauling how money reaches Americans .
Of course , it would be heresy to admit that the Fed ’ s true motive is to effectively spark runaway inflation as that would provoke howls of outrage from ordinary Americans if they only learned that the $ 1000 or so in “ free @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fed was not a gift , but a curse which would make their cost of living unbearable in very short notice .

When we recently described the upcoming “Unprecedented monetary overhaul” which will come in the form of the Fed sending out digital dollars directly to “each American”, we explained that “absent a massive burst of inflation in the coming years which inflates away the hundreds of trillions in federal debt, the debt tsunami that is coming would mean the end to the American way of life as we know it. And to do that, the Fed is now finalizing the last steps of a process that revolutionizes the entire fiat monetary system, launching digital dollars which effectively remove commercial banks as financial intermediaries, as they will allow the Fed itself to make direct deposits into Americans’ “digital wallets”, in the process enabling truly universal basic income, while also making Congress and the entire Legislative branch redundant, as a handful of technocrats quietly take over the United States.”
In short, we laid out the Fed’s true reasoning behind the coming Digital Dollars not as how Fed Chair Powell recently described them, which as a reminder was as follows:
Faster and cheaper transactions
Addressing a decline in the use of physical currency
Modernizing the payments infrastructure
Reaching consumers who have been traditionally underserved by financial institutions
… but as a short circuit to a clearly broken monetary transmission mechanism, one which seeks to facilitate universal basic income and unlimited helicopter money, by completely overhauling how money reaches Americans.
Of course, it would be heresy to admit that the Fed’s true motive is to effectively spark runaway inflation as that would provoke howls of outrage from ordinary Americans if they only learned that the $1000 or so in “free money” they would receive from the Fed was not a gift, but a curse which would make their cost of living unbearable in very short notice.

truepundit--2020-10-26--A Sordid Conspiracy To Deceive The American Electorate

Have we ever witnessed a stranger anomaly in modern presidential politics than the craven contempt the Biden campaign , the media and social media have shown for the American electorate in their disgraceful conspiracy to hide Joe Biden ?
What bona fide presidential candidate would arrogantly hide in his basement during the heat of a campaign , especially in the last few weeks of an ever-tightening one ?
If the liberal media weren ’ t providing Biden cover , he couldn ’ t get away with this .
If they were even raising questions about his intentional invisibility , this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ far less surreal .
As President Donald Trump has hopscotched the country , traveling thousands of miles to appear at vigorous , humongous campaign rallies , Biden and his running mate , Sen. Kamala Harris , are nowhere to be found .
We ’ ve never had a presidential candidate virtually opt out of the campaign .
Please don ’ t use the virus as an excuse , unless you ’ re willing to point out that Trump has been fearlessly campaigning for reelection with a rigorous schedule that would exhaust most 30-year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an old man with no interest in engaging with the public or the media .
And he seeks to be leader of the free world ?
Then again , when Biden has surfaced , he ’ s failed to draw a Sunday school-sized crowd .
Never has a presidential candidate taken the voters for granted like this .
Hillary Clinton declined to visit the swing state of Wisconsin after April 2016 , but that is nothing compared with Biden ’ s ghosting of the entire electorate throughout the campaign .

Hunter Biden’s equity fund, backed by the Communist Chinese government, and the Chinese contractor, Aviation Industry Corporation (AVIC), needed special approval for the deal from the Committee of Foreign Investment in the U.S. (CFIUS) because Henniges produced technology with potential military use.
AVIC entities have been sanctioned by the United States on five separate occasions since 1993 and the addition to the watch list–a major red flag—occurred less than a year-and-a-half before they co-purchased Henniges with the Biden-led Chinese joint venture known as Bohai Harvest RST (BHR). The fact that CFIUS approved the deal is alarming given that Henniges owns numerous facilities in the United States that are now controlled by a Chinese military front company.
Internal BHR documents show exactly how the Chinese military contractor was able to disguise its ownership via shell corporations and formed a joint-venture with the son of the vice president to facilitate the Chinese takeover of an American dual-use technology supplier. Additional documents suggest that Hunter Biden’s Chinese-backed venture funneled money to an entity controlled by Vanessa Kerry, the daughter of then-Secretary of State John Kerry, just one month before CFIUS approved the takeover.
