POPE FRANCIS TO MEET WITH MILEY CYRUS IN SEPTEMBER OVER HER COMMENTS ON NOAH’S ARK

Leave a comment

imageNEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Pope Francis will meet with American pop singer Miley Cyrus when he visits the United States September 22-27, 2015.

During his papal visit, Francis will meet with President and Mrs. Barack Obama, address a joint session of the U.S. Congress and speak before the United Nations  General Assembly.

The U.S. Conference of Bishops confirmed Francis’ private meeting with Cyrus who recently said that the biblical account of Noah’s Ark is nothing but a fairy tale. Cyrus was quoted saying, “That’s f*cking insane.  We’ve outgrown that fairy tale, like we’ve outgrown f*cking Santa and the tooth fairy, and all Disney characters.”

The pope was concerned that because many young Catholics look up to Cyrus, they might be led to believe that Noah’s Ark is indeed a fairy tale.

The meeting will happen on September 24 in an undisclosed location where the Pope is expected to conduct a one-on-one catechism session with Cyrus.  He hopes the meeting will convince the popular singer about factual accounts in the bible, including the story of Noah’s Ark.

Cyrus, speaking through her publicist, said she welcomes the meeting and is open to hearing what Pope Francis has say about the issue.

The singer started her career as the Disney character Hanna Montana. She has outgrown that character and has since appeared nude in photographs and revealed she was gender neutral.

Cyrus regularly attended church as a youngster and even took to wearing a purity ring as a sign of her Christian faith.

BAGUIO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – From New York City to St Louis, Missouri; from China to the Philippines, people are paying tribute to Cecil, the Zimbabwean lion killed by an American dentist last week.

The killing has elicited an international outrage and many have called for the banning of hunting as a sport. Others are drawing attention to the issue by putting up amzing tributes to Cecil.

In New York City, the Empire State Building lit up the night sky with a giant image of Cecil projected onto the facade of the landmark building.

In China, a giant billboard with Cecil’s photograph was set up on a hill along the Great Wall.

In Baguio City, Philippines, volunteers carved Cecil’s image from a huge rock located along the winding road leading up to the country’s summer capital.

But in St Louis, Missouri,  city officials were not content with just hanging a banner bearing a photo of Cecil on the Arch. They included the photo of the killer dentist, Dr. Walter Palmer alongside Cecil’s.

Other world sites in Paris, Egypt, Germany, London and Australia are also contemplating putting up their own tributes to Cecil.

We now know who is king — the Lion King.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles®) – The killing of Cecil the Zimbabwe Lion by American dentist Walter Palmer has generated worldwide outrage and has focused attention on the ethics of hunting as a sport.

Thousands of miles away from Bloomington, Minnesota, where Palmer lives and holds his dental practice, there’s the opposite end of the spectrum as far as treatment of animals are concerned.

In the Philippines, animals and people coexist in perfect harmony. In contrast to the barbaric practice of lion hunting by Americans and others, Filipinos are being praised for allowing tigers into their homes, as pets.

It’s more fun in the Philippines, where killing is unnecessary.
