“The Pope is offering the masses the opium of Marxism in his stances.”

Which Marxist stance?

His preaching of God and Jesus Christ?
His condemnation of atheism in his new encyclical?
His multiple condemnations of abortion?
His condemnation of gender theory, gay marriage, and the State’s attempt to redefine marriage and usurp the family?
His multiple condemnations of dropping certain passages of the Gospel because they conflict with one’s “ideology”?

It’s such lazy thinking to say the defense of the poor and crying out for them makes one a Communist or a Socialist. To say nothing of a total departure from the Christian tradition of reaching out to the needy.

If one wants to debate Francis’ words on the role of government or on the religions and nations banding together informally, that’s a legitimate debate. But I’m not gonna waste my time on something that speculates he’s a Marxist.

When the Clintons tried top push their poisonous anti-family agenda through a UN conference in 1995, Pope John Paul II reached out to the Muslim countries asking them to band together with Christian countries to thwart the agenda. It worked for then. It didn’t mean he was for a one world government.

From the article: author points out the terms and gives a link to clarify definition of Liberation Theology. (Christianized Marxism)

Since becoming Pope, he has made major strides in bringing Liberation Theology to the fore in the Vatican. Thus, his campaigning for massive social and political change. This is Christianized Marxism. The irony of that term has to be savored. Kind of like “therapeutic cancer.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_theology

Liberation theology has been described as “an interpretation of Christian faith out of the experience of the poor… an attempt to read the Bible and key Christian doctrines with the eyes of the poor”,[1] or “the message of the gospels”, restored from “the first three centuries [of Christianity in which] it was...a pacifist...religion of the poor.”[2] Detractors have called it Christianized Marxism.[3]

Open your eyes and see what’s right in front of you, and put aside your straw man redirects.

Which Marxist stance?

The one where he condemns unfettered human greed. This conflicts with the gospel of Ayn Rand. Those who follow her as a prophet see greed as a virtue. Money is their god, "capitalism" is the saviour of the world. Anyone who objects to this is a "communist" according to them.

Brother open your eyes... we all knew this had to come in the end times ...and now its here......

Their will be an Antichrist ... and there will be false prophets in the end time...

did you really think Satan would not attack and infiltrate the church in the end....

We have already seen a false America arise with a false American at its head

A false Christ needs a false Church with a false Pope these things have been foretold

Now they are here, see it for what it is..

open your eyes and your heart ...you know what true ...so you can see what's false

Satan will attack and conquer the strong points of the faith to prep the way for the Antichrist....

every institution.. everything that was good will have a false leader put in place in the end time

this is the preparation of the way for the Antichrist ...don't be blind to it
