is the pope marxist?
Capitalism is the economic system that aligns with the teachings of Jesus. It is supported and sanctioned by Him, while ideologies like socialism, Marxism, communism, and fascism are opposed and rejected.
Capitalism promotes the preservation and protection of God-given natural rights, prohibiting the initiation of force to violate these rights. It emphasizes safety and security, allowing individuals to devote more time to God rather than worrying about their well-being.
Jesus spoke about economics and expressed support for a pro-capitalist system in His teachings and parables. His omniscience and knowledge of what is best for mankind make His endorsement significant.
Capitalism recognizes the importance of private property and private property rights as God-given and beneficial. Owners have the authority to use and dispose of their property as they choose.
The total demand for labor offered by property or business owners is at their discretion. Wage rates are unrelated to Marxist exploitation theory.
Productivity and productiveness are seen as virtues in capitalism. Hoarding is considered a wicked and lazy vice, as it hinders productivity and goes against capitalist principles.
Capitalism encourages individuals to earn interest by lending their savings and capital, promoting investment and economic growth.
Business owners are encouraged to reward good employees and hold accountable those who perform poorly. Egalitarianism is not considered a virtue in this context.
Jesus taught His listeners not to worry excessively about subsistence goods or security, as God will provide for them. Capitalism allows for more leisure time to focus on spiritual pursuits rather than being consumed by work.
Capitalism, as a productionist doctrine, emphasizes the goal of increasing production rather than consumption. This leads to an abundance of high-quality goods at affordable prices, reducing worries about affording basic needs and allowing for a proper hierarchy of values.
The Pope, living a life of royal privilege, embraces the antithesis of what he should embrace, and economic ignorance is no excuse.
This phony is either a commie ot he’s like Biden. Probably both.
I always thought that Obongo had a role in removing Benedict, the real Pope. Frankee is a wrecking ball, and part of the evil Tsunami that has gripped the world.
Not Obama, but Obama’s handlers. The only thing Obama can do is read off of a teleprompter.
Their common mission is centralized, military-like control of the subjects from the top down.
Restart world slavery.
Hey, Frankie, you weren’t supposed to say that part out loud./sarc
I studied Communism at a university for about 3 years. One of the profs somehow got out of the Soviet Union in the mid 70’s—he was my favorite professor and explained how communism worked (actually, how it didn’t work) from a first person perspective.
I’ve found that people who support communism really have no idea how it really works in practice. Clearly, the Pope falls into this category....
What is a Communist? A person who reads Marx and Lenin.
What is an Anti-Communist? A person who understands Marx and Lenin.
Anyone who has studied true history knows that the Church was the first Communist party with the pope at it’s head as an unquestioned divine dictator. King’s power came second under the Church. So historically this concept is accurate.
“Unbelievable”
Not really. Here is the Rub for our Marxist Pope.
Marxists never want to admit that Marxists don’t want God because the State is God. People who worship God, must have a moral compass and use that daily. Marxisms eliminates God so that moral compass disappears. “Without God all things are possible-—but they aren’t good things”. Marxist control everything and own everything, the individual is not important. No one can give of free will, or have a guilty conscience in a Marxist state, because the State is responsible, not the individual. The persons God in a Marxist state is the State.
Jesus said “Give to God what is God’s, give to Caesar what is Ceasar”. God demands a conscious, God demands you care for the Sick and the poor, and God demands you follow rules. The Marxist State and God are not compatible, so the Marxists always want Religion to be gone.
Anyone who believes that the responsibility of individual choice, in the eyes of God, can be delegated to the State don’t seem to understand what Jesus was saying.
This is why I advocate Theonomic positivism.
Well, not far from the mark. Commie trash are notoriously pedo. Go look at the work from the Aholes who “intellectualized” that crappola. Then, this Pope defended a convicted pedo while serving in SAmerica. And, the Vatican is rife with priests who violate their oath to Gawd on celibacy.
Jesus Christ said that his kingdom was not in this world, and communism shows us that his purpose is to rule this world, so where are the parallels between Christianity and communism?
As much as I despite Francis, he’s not completely wrong. Communism is in reality a Christian Heresy.
It basically tries to create the kingdom promised in the Bible but without God.
In a way this is true. It is to gain followers. To forget just what they believe should be followed and how each is in opposition to the other in inexcusable.
Just another demonic leftist, self-identifying as what he ‘really’ is. It’s probably due to the arrogance. They really must think that they are in control.
I really respected the last 3 popes
this one, UGH!
