I believe in the same event where Morales presented that to him he described “unfettered capitalism” as “the dung of Satan”.

(1) Actually, he didn't say "unfettered capitalism." He said "unfettered pursuit of money," and he was quoting St. John Chrysostom, in Chrysostom's commentary on this verse "For the love of money is the root of all evil" (1 Tim 6:10 KJV)

(2) When presented with the cross-and-sickle, Pope Francis frowned and said "This is not good" or "This is not OK."

Check out how different news sources headlined it:

"Pope not Pleased With Communist Crucifix" was one.

Yeah, he did say something like that recently.

I have to bite my tongue when it comes to this marxist Pope because one, I can't stand him and there is not much use in repeating it over and over and two, I know a lot of conservative Catholics that are trying to keep the faith and I don't want to endlessly rub this guy in their face.

So tactfully I will just say, the sooner this Pope exits the world stage the better. We can only hope that the RCC realizes their mistake and forces Francis out and replaces him with someone who wouldn't make Karl Marx grin from ear to ear.
