Pope Francis in Chile: Don’t water down the joy of faith
Iquique, Chile, Jan 18, 2018 / 07:37 am (CNA/EWTN News).- At Mass in Iquique Thursday morning, Pope Francis drew attention to the care Mary shows at the Wedding at Cana, pointing to her as an example of how we can help others share in the joy and celebration found in the Gospel.
“The Gospel message is a wellspring of joy… A joy that is contagious, passing from generation to generation, a joy that we have inherited,” the Pope said Jan. 18.
“Like Mary at Cana, let us make an effort to be more attentive in our squares and towns, to notice those whose lives have been ‘watered down,’ who have lost – or have been robbed of – reasons for celebrating.”
“Let us be attentive, then, to all situations of injustice and to new forms of exploitation that risk making so many of our brothers and sisters miss the joy of the party.”
Pope Francis celebrated Mass on the morning of his last day in Chile, before flying to Peru to begin the second part of his Jan. 15-22 trip to the two South American countries.
The Mass was held on the Lobito beach in the northern Chilean town of Iquique, which is bordered by the Atacama Desert to the east, and the Pacific Ocean to the west.
In his homily, Francis reflected on the story of the Wedding at Cana, relating the festivity of that occasion to the “festive spirit” with which northern Chileans live out their faith.
“I have come as a pilgrim to join you in celebrating this beautiful way of living the faith,” he said. “Your patronal feasts, your religious dances – which at times go on for a week – your music, your dress, all make this region a shrine of popular piety.”
He also pointed out how the party doesn’t remain inside the Church, but that they turn “the whole town into a party.”
Quoting Pope Paul VI’s encyclical on evangelization, Evangelii Nuntiandi, Francis praised their ways of celebrating the faith and God through song and dance, which creates “interior attitudes rarely observed to the same degree elsewhere: patience, the sign of the cross in daily life, detachment, openness to others, devotion.”
To continue this joyful atmosphere, we can take a lesson from the actions of Mary at the wedding feast, he said. Mary, “like a good mother,” is attentive to everything going on around her and “doesn’t sit still.”
Noticing that something threatens to hamper the celebration or “water it down,” Francis said, “she approaches her Son and tells him simply: ‘They have no wine.’”
“In the same way, Mary passes through our towns, our streets, our squares, our homes and our
Hospitals… She notices all those problems that burden our hearts, then whispers into Jesus’ ear and says: Look, ‘they have no wine.’”
The Pope explained that we allow Jesus to continue this miracle when we turn our communities and hearts “into living signs of his presence, which is joyful and festive because we have experienced that God is with us, because we have learned to make room for him in our midst.”
This experience is a “contagious joy and festivity that lead us to exclude no one from the proclamation of this Good News,” he stated.
It’s also a “festive hospitality, he underlined, “for we know very well that there is no Christian joy when doors are closed; there is no Christian joy when others are made to feel unwanted, when there is no room for them in our midst.”

“During the Pinochet rule, the person mostly IN CHARGE of the nuts and bolts OF THE ENTIRE CHILEAN MACHINERY so to speak, WAS SERGIO MELNICK, A JEWISH MAN.”
Deep High: March 2011
As a young man, PAUL Schäfer SCHNEIDER WAS A MEMBER of HITLER YOUTH.
Following World War II, HE SET UP A CHILDREN’S HOME and Baptist ministry.
In 1959, HE WAS CHARGED WITH SEXUALLY ABUSING CHILDREN, AND FLED TO CHILE, where HE SET UP Colonia DIGNIDAD.
HE BROUGHT WITH HIM TO CHILE VARIOUS MEMBERS OF THE GERMAN GESTAPO and German SS.
Reportedly, the
CIA, MO$$AD and the WE$T GERMAN SECRET SerVICE USED COLONIA DIGNIDAD FOR
EXPERIMENTS INVOLVING the TORTURE and MIND CONTROL of KIDNAPPED CHILDREN.

“Schaefer invited many INFLUENTIAL CHILEANS to parties and extravagant dinners.
“They included powerful BUSINESS MEN, high ranking POLITICIANS, POLICE CHIEFS, JUDGES, as well as AUTHORITIES in the GERMAN EMBA$$Y located in Santiago.
“Many of THESE OFFICIALS were foolish enough to fall into the trap of TAKING PART in ILLICIT SEXUAL ACTIVITY and CHILD ABUSE.
“Those so foolish, WERE SECRETLY PHOTOGRAPHED and Schaefer created and kept secret files on them.
This DOCUMENTATION of course, WAS USED TO BLACKMAIL and EXERT INFLUENCE on the trapped parties.
“By this time Schaefer had developed a strong friendship with Augusto Pinochet, who had overthrown the previous government.
“This friendship enabled him to develop an import-export business which he was able to operate without paying taxes, this being the case with all of Colonia Dignidad’s enterprises…
“It was Paul Schäfer Schneider’s habit to have one or two boys sleep in his bed every night.
“Some had to be drugged or tranqulized in order for him to have his way.
“By 1996, hints of the goings on inside of Colonia Dignidad began to slowly reach the outside world. Schaefer’s influence was so powerful that it seemed all inquiries into the events at Colonia were ignored or swept under the rug…

“At its height Colonia Dignidad became almost entirely self-sufficient and a powerful state within a state in a relatively short period of time.

“It had its OWN POWER PLANT, AIRPORT (big enough TO ACCOM MODATE HERCULES TRANSPORT PLANES), a fleet of cars, buses, trucks and agricultural vehicles; a school, hospital and recording/broadcasting studio.

Chile, under THE CIA’S PINOCHET, had over 1200 concentration camps where people were tortured.
Gerhard Mücke, Gisela Seewald, Gerd Seewald and Kurt Schnellenka were among PAUL Schafer SCHNEIDER’$ ACCOMPLICES.
“In 2005, another former German national from Colonia Dignidad was charged with torture and sexual abuse- her name was Gisela Seewald, and she defended herself by claiming she merely followed Shafer’s orders…
“She said that Shafer told her the children were ‘possessed by demons.’
“She ADMINISTERED electroshock therapy and a battery of sedatives and VARIOUS PSYCHOACTIVE DRUGS to the CHILDREN.

“This is the same TREATMENT being USED in GUATANAMO BAY and Abu Ghirab TO DESTROY the MINDS of prisoners like Jose Padila, who is now a walking vegetable.
“In the aftermath of Shafer’s arrest and imprisonment, the Chilean government investigated the former Colonia compound finding a labyrinth of underground tunnels and chambers filled with various caches of literally tons of weapons and ammunition enough to equip not a small army…”
MICHAEL TOWNLEY –
“the primary liaison between Colonia Dignidad and the Pincochet regime was an American CIA AGENT named Michael Townley who also served as a member of the Chilean secret police in addition to helping plan the military coup that ousted Allende.

Michael Townley was an agent of the CIA.
“Questioned in March 2005 by Judge Alejandro Madrid about ex-Chilean Christian Democrat President Eduardo Frei Montalva’s death, Michael Townley acknowledged links between Colonia Dignidad and the Laboratorio de Guerra Bacteriológica del Ejército (Bacteriological War Army Laboratory).
“Townley would also have testified on BIOLOGICAL EXPERIMENTS made UPON PRISONERS in Colonia Dignidad with the help of the two above mentioned laboratories.[4]”

Colonia Dignidad was likely involved in Operation Condor.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, I$RAEL EARNED MORE THAN $1 BILLION A YEAR $ELLING WEAPONS, many of them American in origin, to the military dictatorships in Argentina, Chile and Brazil.[8]
“Condor’s members were the governments in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia and Brazil.
“The USA PROVED TECHNICAL SUPPORT and supplied military aid to the participants until at least 1978, and again after Republican Ronald Reagan became President in 1981. Ecuador and Peru joined later in more peripheral roles.”

Fugitive NAZIS who BUILT A PAEDOPHILE PARADISE IN THE SUN: The Chilean colony founded by a one-eyed soldier who TURNED 230 GERMANS INTO SLAVES.
PAUL SCHAFER, a one-eyed NAZI soldier, reinvented himself as a pastor after 1945 and ESTABLISHED A COLONY IN CHILE.
HE WAS A PAEDOPHILE who turned 230 people who went with him into slaves
Turned VILLA BAVIERA into a concentration camp and A PAEDOPHILE PARADISE.
In 1945, ARGENTINA was not the basket-case it is today, but WAS RICHER THAN SPAIN, Italy and France. The country also had a new dictator, Juan Peron, who like many others — including officials in America and Britain — was after the expertise of NAZI scientists. And he didn’t stop there.
ARGENTINIAN EMBASSIES HANDED BLANK PASSPORTS to German doctors, diplomats and NAZI politicians. For everyone else who made it to Buenos Aires, there was a policy of NO QUESTIONS ASKED. Between 1946 and 1952, 12,000 Germans arrived in Argentina. MOST OF THEM WERE ON THE RUN.
