As a Protestant, I encourage everyone to read the ACTUAL WORDS of the Pope’s exhortation:

http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/francesco/apost_exhortations/documents/papa-francesco_esortazione-ap_20131124_evangelii-gaudium_en.html

Just click on that and scan it, or search for key words to see what he wrote IN CONTEXT.

Yes, the Pope says, “I beg the Lord to grant us more politicians who are genuinely disturbed by the state of society, the people, the lives of the poor!” But look at it in context — he is simply stating the position of Conservative politicians, who actually CARE about PEOPLE. The Pope is not saying that bureaucrats should take from the wealthy and give to the poor.

While I denounce some Roman Catholic doctrines, and consider myself a follower of Jesus rather than of Rome, this Pope seems to have his head screwed on straight. In this case, Rush is wrong.

Thanks, Theo.
