Evo Morales says he feels like he’s got a good friend and ally in the highest of places in his battle for revolutionary social change and halting global warming: Pope Francis.

Bolivia’s president also said Friday he thinks that what Pope Francis preaches amounts to socialism.

“I feel like the pope is the first and best politician in the world,’ Bolivia’s president said in an interview with The Associated Press a few hours before bidding Latin America’s first pope goodbye. […]

Asked if the pope is a socialist, Morales said his emphasis on creating a world in which no one is excluded amounts to socialism.

“I don’t know whether it’s communism, but it is socialism. He’s talking about community, about living in harmony.” …

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion.

Remember how so many people were afraid to vote for JFK because of his religion?

They didn’t know about his lack of religion.

Thou shalt not steal. That is what they taught me in Catholic school.

As a practicing Roman Catholic I feel I need to remind everyone that this institution has had all kinds of bad popes and when they forget the admonition “My Kingdom Is Not Of This World” .This church gets into all sorts of trouble. But survives.

These meandering homilys of This pope on temporal matters diffuse any theologic message Pope Francis offers. Snowballs should be thrown at those pointy hat supporters of his as well as opposition clearly expressed to those meanderings on any visit Francis may make here.

If the pope is really into socialism, I would suggest they sell that place he’s living in and share the wealth.

[Organic Panic]

Takes one to know one.

“I don’t know whether it’s communism, but it is socialism. He’s talking about community, about living in harmony.”

Show me ONE socialist country that is prosperous, harmonious, and peaceful. In fairness you can say everyone is equal in North Korea and the soviet gulags. And when your mouth is taped up with rocks and you're facing a firing squad you're being treated the same as the poor guy tied up next to you.

Morales is a drug infested Indian kept in power by the drug cartels. Castro and Chaves put this jerk in power.
