And I miss Reagan. Real leaders.

Pope Francis has once again spoken out about the global economic climate, decrying an economic system that “seems fatally destined to suffocate hope and increase risks and threats.”
Speaking in Rome, the Pope condemned what he called a “throwaway culture created by the powers that control the economic and financial policies of the globalized world.”

Anyone that ignorant of collectivism should be ignored.
any tendency, in any individual, organization, or denomination to equate Heaven with earth leads to totalitarianism.
I miss JPII.
Anti-Pope. /a Catholic - but maybe not for much longer with this jerk running the Church
Me too. :(
And I miss Reagan. Real leaders.
“Money at the service of life can be managed in the right way by cooperatives, on condition that it is a real cooperative where capital does not have command over men but men over capital.”
Men are fallible Your Holiness — and men are intrinsically evil.
You are foolish to suppose that the ills wrought by industry would not pale in comparison to the misery created by the wiles of prideful men.
Indeed, this is true.
They are the ultimate in throwaway culture
because the individual human life has little to no worth to them — this is unavoidable when you embrace the idea that rights come from the group, and it's particularly dangerous when the group
is the government because government officials are then the individuals who act as the embodiment of the group
and thereby become "more important individuals".
Yes. And Time says it. So you must know that it is entirely reliable.
Go ahead prove Time wrong. Why won’t some people believe a man raised in a socialist country is a socialist at heart?
I don't think that's correct: the description of Heaven and Earth in the end of Revelation makes it clear that [at the end] God dwells with humans on Earth and as New Jerusalem is on Earth, and Heaven is [almost by definition] where God dwells — then it's safe to say that there literally will be Heaven on Earth.
I sure do miss our beloved cold warrior Pope Benedict XVI...
...he knew all about collectivism.
Argentina’s Peronism of the 50’s was the velvet glove collectivism of its day. Like all redistribution schemes it was a big failure and the class warfare that it started continues today.
i guess Pope Francis hasn't heard the news that every economy organized along those lines has turned into an economic disaster, and a tyranny as well
where did they find this guy?
Here comes again Francis attacking capitalism and freedom... Castro/Stalinism is good, America free enterprise is bad.
Bergoglio collectivist proclivity
Pope Francis has affirmed that he has met many good Marxists in his life
Pope Francis is more open to the followers of proscribed Marxist liberation theologians than to orthodox traditional Catholics.
According to cardinal Muller, the prefect for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the faith, and he himself a follower of liberation theology, pope Francis have close ties with that Marxist movement.
The Jesuits have been at the front lines of the expansion of the “liberation theology” through out Latin America.

“Socialist societies are very ethical, clean, physically and morally. If it weren’t for his materialist doctrine it could be argued that they carried out the ethical teaching of the social doctrine of the Church.” Leonardo Boff on his return from a trip to Moscow, cfr.ABC, 16-VII-87, p.45
“Marxism provides a scientific understanding of the mechanisms of oppression in the world, at local and national levels; It offers the vision of a new world which must be built as a socialist society, the first step to a classless society, where genuine brotherhood can be hopefully possible, and by which deserves sacrifice everything.” Declaration of the theological Association of India in the magazine Vidyajyoti, of the Theological Faculty of the Jesuits in Delhi, April, 1986.
Pope Francis has persecuted traditional Catholics that follow the Tridentine Mass, but it seems to maintain close ties with the leaders of the Marxist liberation theology, a movement condemned by Pope John Paul II and Benedict XVI and the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
Pope Francis has affirmed that he has met many Marxists in his life who are good people, so he doesn’t feel offended when he’s questioned about his Marxist proclivities. I fact, he has proudly proclaimed that he is the Che Guevara of the Palestine people, the cold blooded murderer of hundreds of Cubans and thousands of Africans during the wars Cuban imperialist incursions to impose communism in the Black continent.
I wonder how pope Francis’ remarks would have been received if he were referring to the many good people he has met who were Nazis? After all, many more Christians have been murdered and persecuted by the “good Marxists” than by the “good” Nazis.
It is very worrisome that it is the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, cardinal Muller, he himself a follower of the liberation theology, who confirms that Pope Francis has close ties with the liberation theology, something that is in clear defiance to the Magisterium of the Church.
I’m guessing in a bathhouse.
Marxism is the antithesis of Christianity.
How did the communist get benedict to resign?
Serious question, any ideas?
Reagan and JPII complemented each other perfectly. This guy is a perfect complement for Obama. A Perfect storm.
