Is the Vatican under Pope Francis now so enamored of socialism that it's tweeting celebratory praise for the Castroites and the hellhole they made of Cuba?
Well, it's apparently trying. Get a load of this:
The Vatican News website recently paid tribute to Cuba on the 60th anniversary of the Communist revolution in a post that was quickly deleted, according to reports.
The Communist island nation marked the occasion with celebrations on News [sic] Year's Day, while several leftist Latin American leaders tweeted their best wishes.
Here is the supposedly deleted tweet:
La página DEL VATICANO publicó un homenaje a los 60 años de la monarquía cubana. Lo borraron a las pocas horas pero nosotros somos más rápidos.

Now, assuming that this isn't some Russian disinformation propaganda operation to sow dissent, this is approximately equivalent to a meal turkey getting out there and celebrating Thanksgiving.
Castro runs an atheist regime. It's not just atheist in foundation; it requires atheism for membership (and the nomenklatura perks) of its ruling Cuban Communist Party.
Castro shut down churches. He expropriated all church property. He shut down Catholic schools. He expelled priests and, as Pajamas Media's Debra Heine notes, even a bishop. Castro killed priests, and his regime banished Christmas. The Castroites haven't let up much, sending in goons to lately reopened churches to beat the Ladies in White. No sanctuary respected in that hellhole. The Cuban revolution, so vaunted by the left, left Cuba's people morally and spiritually wasted, with all the social ills that come of being deprived of any contact with religion. The religion there is the state.

This pope is a communist
He's also a Jesuit which in some circles is considered communist lite.
Just ask Jerry Brown
The ImPopester is a Marxist, that has been clear to any with a brain.
The pope admires castro and all his works. castro had people killed. castro was a communist. Communism = atheistic materialism. castro took money from people. castro became rich off the backs of the people. castro was a repressive dictator.
THAT’s what the current pope loves, admires, and worships. The man who sits on the throne of Peter is a communist.
