The closest thing to evidence actually stated in this entire post is:

“In 1998, Archbishop Bergoglio attributed Cuba’s evils not to the communist dictatorship but to which he called the blockade of the United States; later he disparaged against the capitalist system and, finally he affirmed that the political and social system closest to the social doctrine of the catholic church was a socialism like the Cuban whenever the idea of God was added to him.”

Only problem is that you failed to cite where Abp. Bergoglio wrote this. I have no idea; I have no idea where to go to actually confirm this and evaluate the context of the statement. As far as I can tell, this could be made up.

Thousands of Cubans murdered by the Communist tyranny while imprisoned and tortured hundreds of thousands of patriots, more than 25,000 Cubans were drowned on the Florida Straits trying to escape from the Communist paradise in makeshift drafts, over one million Cubans forced into Exile in their quest of freedom, didn’t diminish Pope Francis’ admiration for the Cuban Stalinist regime, so much so, that he concocted with comrade Obama a plan to keep afloat the regime prolonging the oppression of the Cuban people while forcing the American taxpayers to play the role of “sugar daddy” of the regime, a role played before by the Soviet Union and later Venezuela that ended with their ruin.

This is not evidence that Francis believes that Cuba is good and all that. Both Benedict and John Paul II visited Cuba and got concessions from the Cuban government. BTW, has the existing policy towards born any fruit at all? As far as I can tell it has been a dismal failure.

Most importantly, the Pope has backed his words with actions. During his visit to Brazil in 2013, the Pope held meetings with Liberation Theologians on preparing a new doctrine for the church.

Do we know what he said in this meeting? Otherwise, this sentence is about as helpful as Clinton's experience.

As stated the expert in Latin America, Anastasia O’Grady: “The Holy Father is a native of 20th-century Argentina, ideologically defined by nationalism, socialism, corporatism and anti-Americanism.”

Where did she say this? According to this he clashed frequently with the current and former president of Argentina. This does not strike me as someone bound up in nationalism.

Pope Francis, before going to the Middle East, called himself the Che Guevara of the Palestine people

First, I am unaware of Pope Francis ever making this claim. I am aware that a friend of his claims this is what he intends. Second, it is possible the Che Guevara is viewed and understood very differently Latin America than in the United States and that the above view makes reasonable sense when viewed from a different perspective. I don't know how South Americans view Che; I dislike him as I dislike socialism. Finally, Che accomplished nothing of value and was killed. If you are taking Pope Francis at his word, Pope Francis is comparing himself to a man that accomplished nothing and was killed. If you dislike Pope Francis' ideology, maybe you should want the comparison to be accurate.

As I understand it, “liberation theology” is a Marxist doctrine invented by the KGb to undermine Christianity throughout the world. It is HERESY to Christian and Catholic teaching. Pope Francis is a heretic and needs to be removed.
