...what is the worldview of this pope? Well, it is a vision that is relentlessly pessimistic. According to Francis, the world is very nearly falling down around us. The poor are getting poorer, he claims. The inequalities between rich and poor are worse than ever, he says. Pollution is making us sicker than ever, he implies. And the basic requirements for sustaining human life are becoming more inaccessible than ever. These claims serve a purpose: to illustrate that the rise of industrialization and market economies (a modern phenomenon) are the cause of these social and environmental ills. In painting a picture of a world that Francis says resembles "an immense pile of filth," Francis is ignoring a wealth of empirical data through which his assertions can be shown to be simply and factually wrong.

- Russian commies going underground and re-inventing themselves as the “Green movement” pushing climate alarm

- Marxist Obama elected POTUS

- Pope Benedict mysteriously resigns, first Pope in 500 years to do so

- Pope Francis takes his place, a South American Marxist

- Pope Francis jumps on the global warming band-wagon with his Marxist brethren

I suspect ALL of this is inter-connected. I do not like to think this way, but currently I have much more reason to believe that Pope Francis is utterly evil than to believe he is a force for good.
