In his Tuesday homily Pope Francis gave an example from Argentina, "I remember in my country many, many men and women, consecrated good people, not ideologists, who used to say, 'No, the Church of Christ is such and such... - This one is a Communist, get him out!'. And they chased them away and persecuted them."

His Godless Merxist Communism is ever more important every day now.

Persecute away.
The worst you can do to Communists is probably somewhat less than what they deserve.

'This one is a Communist, get him out!'. And they chased them away and persecuted them. Sounds like they were smart enough to realize that once the Communists get in charge, they will chase and shoot anyone who they think is a threat, including Catholic priests.

As one raised Catholic, I remember when popes were actually Catholic.
Francis should know about Communists being persecuted.
Since he is one.

Not half of what 20 th century heretics did to the church...
Our church foyer is lined with pictures of priests who were starved, flayed, and nailed to the doors of their churches by Stalins guys in Ukraine

The strange thing is that when he was a Jesuit, he was harassed by the communists within his order.

OK, let's have some fun.
Let's change one word in Francis' rant to show his breathtaking hypocrisy;
No, the Church of Christ is such and such... - This one is a Communist "rigid", get him out!'.
This is essentially Francis' daily rant...excuse me....."homily", in the Casa Santa Marthae.

Too bad Francis wasn’t one of the Communists persecuted.

Ah, the age old question... “Is the Pope Communist?”
