In 2008, Pope Benedict XVI had a message sent from on high to the world’s financial and political elite where the Roman Catholic Church is calling for the effective closure of secretive tax havens as a ‘necessary first step’ to restore the global economy to health.

According to the Guarding UK:

In a policy paper from the Holy See, Pope Benedict pins the blame for the international financial crisis largely on ‘offshore centres’, many of which, such as the Channel Islands, are British dependencies.

‘They have given support to imprudent economic and financial practices and have also played a significant role in the imbalances of development, allowing a gigantic flight of capital linked to tax evasion,’ says the report. ‘Offshore markets could also be linked to the recycling of profits from illegal activities.’

The Pope points to estimates that the global fiscal deficit caused by offshore activities could amount to a staggering $255bn (£175bn) which is ‘more than three times the entire sum of [global] development aid’.

It sounds like Romney is doing the best he can to hide from being transparent, yet, he cannot earn the public trust without first being transparent.  President Obama has already released his tax returns, and Americans believe that Romney has a lot to hide.

Me thinks it has everything to do with offshore centres and tax havens the Roman Catholic Church has identified.

Please help us with our letter writing campaign. Please write the Roman Catholic Pope of Rome and ask him to condemn the Corrupt Sheriff Joe Arpaio for embracing the culture of death and violence in his jail. Arpaio makes fun of the mysterious Mexican immigrant deaths in his prison.

We will be protesting Sheriff Joe Arpaio at his Ascension Catholic Church in Fountain Hills this Sunday. Initially we were going to conduct the protest at Saint Joan of Arc, but we will protest Arpaio at the Church of the Ascension.

LOCATION CHANGED: We will be protesting Arpaio beginning at his own church this Sunday beginning at Church of the Ascension in Fountain Hill Catholic Church. We hope to see the Phoenix Diocese intervene in this important matter – more importantly; we hope to see a miracle from our Creator.

DATE:  Sunday, July 29, 2012

TIME: 8:00 a.m. and 10: 00 a.m. (Mass for the People)

LOCATION:  12615 N. Fountain Hills Blvd., Fountain Hills, AZ 85268

Members of the Catholic Church are behind us due to the mysterious Mexican deaths occurring in Arpaio’s prison.

One National Tequila Party Movement member writes us and says:

Click on this link. I think your stance is good. How can the Church stand by and watch what Arpaio is doing when it is clearly against church doctrine. http://old.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt3sect2chpt2.shtml#2245

It is a part of the Church’s mission “to pass moral judgments even in matters related to politics, whenever the fundamental rights of man or the salvation of souls requires it. The means, the only means, she may use are those which are in accord with the Gospel and the welfare of all men according to the diversity of times and circumstances.”⁵³

UPDATE:  Initiallywe were going to conduct the protest at Saint Joan of Arc, but we will protest Arpaio at the Church of the Ascension.

LOCATION CHANGED: We will be protesting Arpaio beginning at his own church this Sunday beginning at Church of the Ascension in Fountain Hill Catholic Church.

Protests of Sheriff Joe Arpaio Planned at  Fountain Hills Catholic Church

On 17 July 2012, we wrote an open letter and plea to the most Reverend Bishop Olmsted in an effort for him to publicly denounce the corrupt Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s culture of death that is occurring in his prison.  We know that it is possible from Bishop Olmsted to send a signal that Arpaio’s culture of death should not be ignored with regard to the mysterious Mexican deaths that are occurring in his prison system.  We know that this is possible because the Roman Roman Catholic Church has taken strong views in support of life when they made a stance on the pro life issue.  The deaths occurring in Arpaio’s prison is also a “life” issue, and we hope to see something give.

The time now comes to make decisions we do not really want to make, but because we are in the pursuit of social justice and time is short, we have no choice but to protest Sheriff Joe Arpaio at the Catholic Church he attends in Fountain Hills, Arizona.  We will continue to protest Arpaio until he leaves the office and/or changes his views regarding the mysterious Mexican deaths in his prison.  The culture of death Arpaio has allowed in his prison is not pro life, nor is it a means to achieving justice.

This is not the first time we have had to protest a church, and in fact, we have had to protest the ousted Russell Pearce at a Mormon Church the stake President was speaking at in 2011.  We believe that men of the Cloth or men of God have the ability and the influence to do great things in this legal immigration matter.  We are seeking legal immigration for those who have no voice and are afraid to stand up to evil dictators like Arpaio and abuse their authorities.

We will be protesting Arpaio beginning this Sunday beginning with the St. Joan of Arc Roman Catholic Church.  Joan of Arc was a strong woman who had to withstand arrows and fire in her day, and we believe this is a good place to start considering our movement is woman-led.   We hope to see the Phoenix Diocese intervene in this important matter – more importantly; we hope to see a miracle from our Creator.
