A stupid and absurd flaming zinger with no proof.
It's easy to find his public statements, you are too much of a coward to post them. Which public statements in post #19 do you hate the most?
There are not millions of Catholics petitioning the Vatican, this proves you are a psychotic that can't tell the difference between good and evil.
Pope Francis is a humble and holy man which drives you bonkers.
Really, is Pope Francis...a communist?
Pope Francis isn't decrying the ownership of private property, but rather the hoarding of it. Hoarding wealth can be harmful to the soul. Very few people in positions of wealth and power have the ability to live poorly, as the Holy Father does, avoiding the temptations of power.
Most wealthy individuals seek to secure and increase their wealth and influence, even though it often comes at a high human price.
Rightly, the wealthy and empowered should consider the teachings of the Church when setting policies for both business and government.
This is the constant message of Pope Francis. There is nothing communist or socialist about asking for people to make responsible, sometimes selfless decisions with their wealth and power. Instead, it is very Christian to concern oneself with the plight of those less fortunate. This is Pope Francis' call, and it is the message of Christ Himself.
The pope has walked a long and difficult line with politics and Catholic theology, criticizing both unbridled capitalism and communism as antithetical to the Christian message.
