Pope Francis came to America this past week with great fanfare. Thousands lined up for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see and get near him. I have written on this Pope previously and my firm belief is that he is a Marxist. With all that I have seen and documented, there is no doubt in my mind that this is the case. The Pope embodies all the sought for goals of the Left and he delivers them wrapped in religion and piety.
The Pope has blamed the evils of this world on capitalism and greed. He has used that as a political spring board to preach wealth redistribution and Liberation Theology. His doctrine is communist in many, many respects. Pope Francis is called The Great Reformer and the reason for that is his colossal move to reform the Catholic Church… to modernize it by welcoming in such platforms as homosexuality, abortion, transgenderism, climate change and the embrace of Islam.
Many people have wondered how this Pope came into power. He succeeded two very conservative Popes – John Paul II and Benedict XVI. Benedict left suddenly and retired. That was an exceedingly odd thing to do and whispers spread that there had been a coup within the Vatican. There was no evidence of this until now. The National Catholic Register ran an article a few days ago that mentioned a newly released authorized biography of retired Belgian Cardinal Godfried Danneels and it rocked the Catholic world.

The Mystery of Pope Francis: Was There a Vatican Coup?
You really don’t want to know the total cost of the security efforts for those three cities.
I thought francis was communistic and way out of his bailiwick. Im glad he is out of here.
Comrade Pope will have his hands full trying to keep his head on during the Muslim invasion of Europe .... let’s hear him lecture the Muslim heathens about climate change, capitalism, respecting queers, queer marriage, etc. and see how it goes.
LOL!
It’s hard to keep your head when everyone around you is losing theirs.
Pray America wakes
This Pope is an a-hole, pure and simple.
He’s very popeular with the libs.
Bolshevik Birddoglio
Ah pope-ah progressive-ah. (In a Father Guido Sarducci voice).
the sniveling rabble be damned....
I’m not Catholic....but I have just run across Mother Angelica’s vids about her displeasure with ‘Vatican 2nd Council. Woo! I think she may have been on to something. She was a firebrand. Seems that was a turning point. Correct me if I’m wrong.
That’s just it. Liberals & Communists can talk, talk, talk, mostly to hear their heads rattle.
I’m not under the Pope, at least not at the present time.
My ancestors were Huguenots (Maupins) & most of them were not too keen on the Catholic Church from bitter experience.
Twinkie don’t hate nobody; but she’s sick of a lot of the crap some people want to try to ram down Twinkie’s throat!!
Daddy fought in WWII in combat. He didn’t teach me to shoot, though, & I’m afraid Twinkie’s aim is not worth a flip. He tried to hunt some when he returned from Germany after the war; but finally gave it up. I guess he was tired of killing. I guess he thought he was protecting me by not teaching me to use a gun; hoped I’d never have to go to war. Looks like I may not be able to escape war after all. :o(
Until the Pope sells the vatican and gives the money to the poor , or at least house a hundred muslim immigrants in all that room in his house....I ain’t listening to a thing he says.
sure is great we have separation of church and state, yet the state spends possibly millions on this semi communist messenger of climate change and anti capitalism.
Hundreds of millions.
WHO REALLY IS POPE FRANCIS?
9/27/2015
Which one of these is Pope Bergoglio: the voice of the oppressed, the poor, the marginalized or the voice of the oppressors?
In Cuba we witnessed a political, never pastoral, Pope Bergoglio becoming the voice of the oppressors. He ignored the cry for help of 11 million Cubans marginalized, oppressed, the poorest among the poor enslaved under a brutal Stalinist regime for over 56 years.
The Pope in Cuba called for “reconciliation” which in Francis’ Orwellian lexicon means not to create “lios” (not to revolt), as he told the youth in Brazil. Francis told the Cubans to accept to remain slaves, to forget their martyrs and forgive their torturers, to be patient, that thanks to his Faustian pact negotiated among Obama and the Cuban Stalinist regime very soon American taxpayers’ dollars will flow to the island prison alleviating their extreme misery and making easier to endure their lack of freedom and the regime’s continuous human rights violations.
In United States we saw a mostly pastoral Pope intertwined with his leftist political agenda. He gave his outmost priority to the hoax of global warming, but he did not address directly the holocaust of more than 55 million unborn babies in the U.S. by abortion, the most abominable of the crimes. Neither he denounced the genocide of Christians by Muslims in Africa and the Middle East.
In the United States, Francis made a very moving pastoral visit to prisoners; but in Cuba the Pope did not want to expose to the world the infra-human conditions in which the Cuban political prisoners live. For the Pope, the Cuban political prisoners did not deserve a word of hope.
Cuban political prisoners are not common criminal, they are patriots that have been incarcerated for demanding freedom and respect for the human rights of the Cuban people. As a token of gratitude towards the Pope, the regime freed 3,000 common criminals, but not a single political prisoner.
Furthermore, they incarcerated or put under house arrest all the dissident leaders during the visit of the Pope.
In the U.S. the Pope allowed a small girl to reach him at the pope mobile to deliver a message from the immigrants living illegally in U.S. In Cuba three times Cuban dissidents tried to give him a message before being pulled out from the by the regime agents; but Francis even denied that any dissident tried to reach him at the pope mobile even though it was captured by the television cameras.
Pope Francis opposed the death penalty in U.S.; but no in Cuba. In Cuba all that Francis said about the Cuban tragedy was that “they are a people which has its wounds, like every other people.” It was a slap in the face of all Cubans in and out of Cuba. Hundreds of thousands of Cubans have suffered torture and debase of their human dignity in Castro’s dungeons. Thousands were murdered by the infamous firing squads where many died shouting “Viva Cristo Rey” and Pope Bergoglio didn’t give a damn to honor our Martyrs.
More than 30,000 Cubans have drowned trying to escape from the hellish regime that the Pope admires as an example for the rest of Latin America.
Francis, an admirer of Che Guevara and Fidel, begged for a meeting with Fidel Castro which was described by the Vatican as very friendly and familiar. At the end of the meeting with Castro, the Pope expressed publicly his deep appreciation for Fidel Castro, a murderous tyrant who has committed the genocide of the Cuban people and who for 56 years has made a country that had the highest standard of living in Latin America in 1959 to the poorest and most oppressed in the history of this hemisphere.
Quite obsequious with the torturers of the Cuban people, the Pope did not accept to receive a representation of the pacific dissidents of the Stalinist regime who are the true voice of the enslaved Cuban people. “As Newsweek has observed, seventeen years ago in his homily in Havana, John Paul II mentioned “freedom” seventeen times and “justice” thirteen times. In his homily, Francis did not mention “freedom” or “justice” once.
The Cuban cardinal Jaime Ortega Alamino played to its fullness his role as lap dog of the Cuban regime.
The visit of Pope Francis to Cuba will be recorded as a big blot in the history of the Catholic Church in Cuba.
Haven’t really followed him that closely but I seem to recall that he grew up in Argentina during the Evita era and apparently sympathizes with her philosophies - about all I need to know....
