What are the odds that we would have the worst president of my lifetime serving at the same time as the worst Pope of my lifetime?

But he does hate your lifestyle, your country, and the economic principles upon which your life is built.

Yeah, well, then he oughta sell all the real estate The Catholic Church owns in New York and around the world. While he's at it, he should sell all the gold, art and historic artifacts The Vatican owns.

Better yet, he should give it all away. Heaven forbid he should be party to turning a profit.

There was Reagan, Thatcher, and John Paul, the magnificent three who undid the evil empire.

Now we have the bamster and Frankie. Is there a third counterfeit doofus somewhere to balance the original threesome?

Actually if you consider these as random events the odds are low. But they're NOT random events. They're the current culminations of cultural trends where reality is ignored and some sort of socialist utopia where earned wealth is taken from each according to his ability and give to each according to his (self perceived) need.

The problem is that "need" or more accurately "want" is infinite, and resources and finite. The free market economy has done the best job of allocating these resources of any system ever devised, but "social justice warriors" like the pope and the turd in the white hut can't see that. They're blinded by their false and evil redistributionist ideology. The very term "income inequality" tells you that anyone who uses term as if it were a bad thing is your enemy.

I could rattle on for a long time on this, but I'll spare anyone who read this far any further ranting.

Pope Che is wrong about just about everything IMHO.

Good article.

It seems to me the next time the College of Cardinals have to pick a pontiff they would consider someone who will stick to spiritual issues and keep his big trap shut on political issues. It certainly does not help one’s moral authority.

My suggestion to His Holiness: Spend a few hours meditating on Job, Chapters 38-42, and see what God really thinks about man’s influence on the environment...just saying!

Maybe the pope f. will put Catholics on the right path, that is the straight and narrow path which is diametrically opposed to this pope’s ideology.

The Catholic Church will see attrition when pope Karl spews his Marxist rhetoric on American soil.

Poverty, ignorance and suffering were the natural state of human beings for millennia. The rise of CAPITALISM has finally changed that although ignorance seems to be making a comeback.

Funny that two of the 10 Commandments support private property... does the Pope not adhere to the 10 Commandments?

Thomas Sowell has stated in a column today, "Pope Francis’ own native Argentina was once among the leading economies of the world, before it was ruined by the kind of ideological notions he is now promoting around the world.

He doesn’t understand how things work. All he sees is a country that he has always thought was super rich, and he wants it to give its money to the “poor.”

Got news for you, el popo. We ain’t rich no mo.

When this guy is hectoring hard-working Americans about our evil consumerist ways, just laugh and remember that his compadres are the guys who tortured Galileo and shield child molestors. That's what I'm going to do.

By the way, how much money do you suppose the Sistine Chapel is worth? My guess is that the ceiling alone is probably more than 99.999% of all the people in the history of human existence saw in their lifetime.

The commie pope who proclaims that capitalism is evil is quick to come to America to enjoy the fruits of our hospitality. Imagine all the money he would have saved American taxpayers (security costs) had he stayed in Italy with his socialist liberal ideas.

Isn’t this the first time he’s ever been here? Really, his opinions cannot really have much intelligence if that is the case.

Holy Father? Not mine. He is the False Prophet as far as I am concerned.

The Opulence in the Vatican did not appear by itself.
He claims personal poverty while having full control of untold billions, churches, cathedrals, ancient art, donations...
Seems a bit hypocritical to me.
Working people created the wealth he is enjoying.
Sure, however we do things can always use improvement, but the basic idea of using natural resources to improve our living standard, what's wrong with that? Seriously?

“I hope the pope is open minded enough to recognize that.”

This hope is in vane. Pope Francis is a flawed man with an agenda, just like Obama has an agenda. The most effective way to accomplish it is to infiltrate and affect change from the inside of a very powerful organization or country. Makes me glad I am not a Catholic because I would be locked in a moral struggle with myself for even saying that. My father-in-law went to his grave believing that the pope was infallible. It is just as well that he didn’t live to see this one.
