NAMARONG IN THE HOT SEAT

The blog PNG Attitude has done Martin Namarong a disservice by billing him as the intellectual saviour of Papua New Guinea. Please click:

 

Road to hell is paved with religion & westernisation


We have given support as his world view is more elevated that the PNG community is used to.

He is over-reaching himself with a world view of pot-boiled conspiracies pushed on to his procrustean bed.

There is a conspiracy between Catholic church and capitalism passed on from century to century.

He sees church dominated by wanking priests in monasteries seeking to exploit the faithful.

The counter-reformation took place 150 years after the reformation. Slow thinking priests?

Namarong has the comic book understanding of the causes of the Reformation.

He never mentions disillusion of the faithful at church in being helpless against the plague of Black Death. Priests died too.

Perhaps the focus on personal salvation arose from the communities who could not find a priest during the Black Death to give last rites to dying loved ones.

All the local priests were dead from the plague. Nothing is ever simple.

In the French Revolution, the parish priests were activists on the side of the peasants.

In World War 2, many priests joined the French resistance against the nazi occupation. They hid Jews. No wanking in monasteries for them, Martyn.

Over the last 400 years in Ireland, the British offered bounties to anyone turning a Catholic priest in. The standard execution technique was to be hung, drawn and quartered.

In South America many Catholic priests joined rebel movements to fight against corrupt regimes. Pope Paul 6 spoke out that priests may not bear arms and remain priests.

Paedophilia is a separate issue.

Over centuries, even churches have been on a learning curve.

Indulgences were part of understanding of faith and works and propaganda of protestants. 

Modern focus is on grace.

Namarong's insights are based on Marxism that is not wrong in itself.

Marx and Lenin are still applicable to the developing world, homes of the have nots. 

But communism has been discarded in Russia and China in favour of capitalism that is the blood stream of the world.

We know that the world is a hot-bed of corruption and violence.

Nations have long sought to kill one another. Nations have taken part in ethnic killing.

But world nations struggle to provide living standards for citizens. With money we spend to strengthen capitalism.

Slave owners in America would have been better off paying the slaves a wage. Then they could spend.

Developing nations struggle to manufacture goods for internal consumption and export.

Protectionist policies in other countries prevent import of goods from the developing world. Please click:

PROBLEMS OF DEVELOPING NATIONS

Balance of power is shifting in the world. But we are all in the same economic boat. Recession hits every nation.

Martyn never refers to the corruption and world view of a New World Order of gays and lesbians.

They are poised to do more damage to the world than an invasion of Mongols.

They seek to destroy goodness and family focus promoted by churches. Is Martyn anti-faith? 

Martyn Namarong is on a learning curve.

His under-graduate views will slowly become more focused on how Papua New Guinea is to take its place in the world.

Even the brigade of rocking chair generals has disagreed with his last report above.
