I too am Catholic and a strong defender here on FR of Catholicism. Also, please show me where I posted Sarah Palin's name in my comments.. I will wait and look again when you cut an past that section of my comments...... okay, I though not.

The comments the pope made were not at all supportive of the Catholic and conservative way of life and mind set. Pope John destroyed communism and CCCO because he supported the conservative mindset. This popes comments were closer to the CCCP or even occupy wall street type of thinking and it was not a place he should have gone.

Conservatism is what keeps us free and safe. The soviets were totally against any sort of free will and self improvement as is the current admin in the USA. I will admit that I only heard part of the Rush show (I was workoing) and did not realize he said that much, but he still was right. It is not the popes place to tell me or anyone that we should act more like the socialists. The pope should be giving people encouragement to work out of the station they are at and get ahead.

That is a long disproved ideological way of thinking and every dictator who has tried it has failed. The single largest reason for famine throughout history has been dictatorships and socialism. Our system is the only one that has worked and has feed more people than all the socialists and dictators ever did.

Capitalism is the only way to go... the rest have been failures and those who experimented in other directions have killed people. Now are your saying we should blindly agree with any pope and whatever he says?
