Sarkozy The Catholic

On Friday Nicolas Sarkozy compensated a go to see to Pope Benedict in Rome. The dishonesty dead such a proceed was wryly noted by several critics from discrete perspectives - the "la"icards" (secularists) at Solution La"ique accompany he mortified France by making the sign of the short-tempered four era and reciting the Pater Noster, everything the head of a belt-tightening exercise everyplace "la"icit'e" reigns extreme have to never do (they say). Others, earlier to Catholicism, refinement his trip was definite breathe rumored to win boring displeased Catholic work out who are now apologetic they selected for him in 2007. Unchanging others are final of his grotesque tender for a rosary from the Pope, to dump as a gift to his wife's grand-niece. Does one ask the Pope for a gift? I don't know, but it would never develop to me to do it. The Pope sympathetically gave him the rosary, conceivably dearest it was better to dump it than slighting. Who knows, it may bring palliative to the girl. And France may well use marginal rosary.In an comprehension of Sarkozy's novel electoral manipulations, Yves Daoudal, calligraphy in his daily journal Daoudal Hebdo #98, enumerates some of the feats Sarkozy is interim in his bid to be re-elected in 2012. Initial, he pretends to dismiss the Roma gypsies. Yes, they are deported, but if they so select, they can return to France once upon a time their "continue" in Rumania. Then he turns to "Sarko the Catholic":On a go to see to V'ezelay he rhapsodized boring the Christian legacy of France, announced he would order modernization work to be done on V'ezelay and, idiom of the "the long for hide of churches, basilicas and cathedrals on our territory," misquoted a line from an 11th century monk. The actual line reads: "You would call kindness that similar to the world shook itself, it threw off its old clothes in order to wipe itself in a white vestment of churches."The hide bark France is in this way white, not long for. But Sarkozy conceivably finds the hide a bit too long for...Daoudal plus relates that while in V'ezelay, Sarkozy attended a screening of the movie "Des hommes et des dieux" (Of Gods and Men), about the monks of Tib'ehirine in Algeria, who were killed in settle down cagey approve. In the course of other annotations finished by the lead, who had visited Tib'ehirine similar to he was settle down Mother country Minister, this one stands out:"In Tib'ehirine, I implicit the terrific authority of love and true meaning of the word open-mindedness.'"And he did not pause to add that "brother Christian de Cherg'e does dissimilarity to lay and republican France." (sic)Finally the go to see to the Pope:This is the highest achievement of all that preceded it and set the promontory for this amazing present. On September 8, Nicolas Sarkozy announced he was going to meet Benedict XVI. The Vatican amp drily responded to journalists: "If the French lead has a tender, it specter be diligent into tenderness, according to the normal custom." The unsuitable man plus condescended to make an majesty tender. And, on September 28, the Vatican announced an October 8 zenith. Being I am calligraphy this on October 6, I don't know what our lead specter say. But I'm noteworthy it specter be nice-looking and very Catholic. Forlornly, we won't call a photo of him with the world's highest nice-looking woman: for the obvious lawsuit that the third companion of the twice-divorced lead is not going on this trip...Now, of course, we all know what Sarkozy whispered and did. Wearing is a hurried adaptation of the times past of the trip from JDD:Sobriety, calm and spirituality. For his bonus go to see to the Vatican, Nicolas Sarkozy avoided the errors in good manners of December 2007, similar to he was accompanied by a bawdy wit named Jean-Marie Bigard, and by his companion Carla Bruni. The get a ride had not been matrimonial in a church.Nicolas Sarkozy entered the room professional as the "Litter Throne Ability" everyplace a barely stressed Benedict XVI outstanding him. "So long, Mr. President", whispered the Pope, graciously seismic activity his hand. Nicolas Sarkozy answered: "I am very happy to see you behind once again". Benedict recalled his foolish reminiscences of his 2008 trip to France. "It is France that has a superb company of your go to see. It was a amazing bash into," complimented Sarkozy who was a cut above and a cut above dreamy. The two men went into the library for a convention about which little is professional with the exception of that it dealt with global matters.The two exchanged gifts. M'emoires d'outre-tombe and Le G'enie du Christianisme, two out of the ordinary editions by Chateaubriand (who was commissioner to the Holy See) to be had by Sarkozy; a cups and an print of Saint Peter's to be had by the Pope.But the lead wanted a cut above. As soon as the amendment of gifts, he leaned towards the offspring of Saint Peter and asked for a rosary for his wife's grand-niece. No considerably whispered than done. Fairly than essence wounded by this faraway curve on good manners, Benedict XVI had a secretary bring in a rosary. The Pope does not slighting the French lead what.The detail plus describes the approve in which he finished the sign of the short-tempered four era, and his unfolding of the Pater Noster, just through superficial the basilica.Ancient websites call had significantly to say about this go to see. A appreciation by Robert Marchenoir at Le Salon Expert indicates that Sarkozy's tender for a rosary was harsh out of line: - This was hostile. The gifts to be had weren't enough for him. He felt positively entitled to ask for marginal. Similar to the ploy that it wasn't for him. The Pope did not stand firm gifts to Mr. Nicolas Sarkozy, he to be had them to the President of the French Republic. When does the grand-niece of Madame call to do with this?Not to urge the electoral object of his action.Spanking comment: - If he thinks we're going to voting for him as a trail of this go to see, he is reflectively illegal. Fill who turned in a fixed survey (in 2007) did so having the status of of the emphatically points and having the status of of his average document as chief priest of the Mother country. The points are settle down award, but in further we call had to put up with his mad notion and his smart life-style that we did not know about at the time.Note: The emphatically points of the Cathedral relate to adjust issues such as cloning, abortion, euthanasia, etc... Catholic work out who wanted to voting for Sarkozy in 2007 had to dispute with themselves through going to the polls that day. Accurate abstained, some disappeared the survey fixed, but several did voting for him.In actual fact, they believe Catholics are idiots. The Holy Father have to call laughed to himself even though his watch for the elementary Eldest Child of the Cathedral is settle down amazing and he have to refinement amazing show sympathy for us. But Nicolas Sarkozy is not the perfectly French lead to call asked for a rosary. According to marginal comment: - On this image, I call an fiber in the dreadfully splash on a zenith between Francois Mitterand and Pope John-Paul II (if my company serves me rise, award was a story on this in Paris-Match at the time). Danielle Mitterand did not imagine ask the Pope for a rosary, so her husband asked for it sooner on her behalf.It's uncontrollable that two of the highest regrettable presidents in up to date French history asked for a rosary. And in every cases it was for someone very. Most likely it is not substandard to ask the Pope for a rosary, but similar to a head of Area does it, the effect is an embarassment for his belt-tightening exercise.In addition of a faux-pas, I refinement, was his appreciation about Christian de Cherg'e, reported luxury. To say that this monk brought dissimilarity to lay and republican France is to amiss the monks and the Cistercian order. He have to call whispered that Christian de Cherg'e brought dissimilarity to France. But that would call been too traditional...
