Nun: Pope Francis Believes Heart of Politics Is 'Controlling Economy'

The role of American politics and politicians is to defend the Constitution. And the essence of that Constitution is to limit the powers of government while protecting the unalienable rights of the people as described in the Declaration of Independence.

But according to a prominent Catholic sister, Pope Francis has a very different view, one which she obviously shares. Appearing on MSNBC's Up With Steve Kornacki today, Sister Simone Campbell said that the Pope was "very clear" in his encyclical. Rather controlling government, he believes the "heart" of politics is "controlling the economy."

Good and valid question.

He sounds like a Marxist to me.

He’s 100% communist. No room left for any Catholicism.

This pope is the False Prophet who will introduce the Beast to the world. The One World Government, One World Religion and One World Economy must be in place for the anti-christ.

A Theology expert is now taking on the mantle of an economist lecturing us on economics.

“Is the Pope Catholic?” No. Marxist Catholic is an oxymoron,

but most of the useful idiots who have been programmed in the publik skools and the non-Classical “Catholic” schools——will believe “snow is black” and Up is Down (Fichte 1810).

The Marxist sodomite infiltration that Bella Dodd illuminated in the 30s and 40s which she helped orchestrate, has reached the very top.

2 Corinthians 3:17

17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

He is a communist , there is no liberty in communism
He speaks like a dragon

Isn’t that what the various strains of communism have tried and failed.

I didn’t read the article but controlling the economy by politics can be very powerful.

His actions, stances, and behavior sure suggest it but many Catholics are defending him the same way that liberals do with Oabama

I would not argue with you. I was merely pointing out a fallacy common today; i.e. an person expert in one field telling us about a field in which he is not an expert. Actors are a prime example, this Pope just joined the fold.

Yup, the political controlling of the economy by the Vatican Bank, for instance...

“Is the Pope Catholic?”

Does a Bear Crap in the Woods? The Catholic Church is Socialist to it’s core. They’d spend every dime of other people’s money bringing every Mexican they can round up into this country if they could. Mexicans are “their people.” the Archbishop of Los Angeles should be arrested and jailed for what he’s doing to bring illegals into this country.
