He fails to appreciate that America's exceptionalism is a product of individual liberty and a limited central government.
Our incredible wealth and power was a product of average people, Working hard and caring for their families. Our middle class grew from futile soil consisting of a strong work ethic, self reliance, Christian morality, and the absence of a oppressive authoritarian central government.
But from this myopic Pope's view, he has been surrounded by poverty and suffering. It is much easier to blame the foreigners, the Americans, then to confront entrenched power, in his own neighborhood.
the Pope is a coward. He attacks the roots of America, the only hope for a suffering world, and sides with socialists who have only a track record of failure and misery for their citizens.
The Pope can rot in Hell.
What a big disappointment is this pope and his visit
A soft spoken Marxist in a big white dress who hid his crucifix from the US Congress and only mentioned Jesus when he was in safe territory in catholic churches
If I have to be among moral relativists I might as well just stay Methodist
At least the hymns are better
Was this the Pope’s first visit to the US ever? If so, everything he believes is based on others’ experiences and writings about the US. He is very ignorant about our history, just like our President. That’s why they appear to agree on so much. I was pretty disappointed that he never mentioned the Muslim threat to the world, that he prayed for the 700 injured in the Hajj but not the Christians being killed and enslaved in the Middle East, and that he did not mention the atrocities being committed here on unborn children. Never have seen a Pope like this before.
Nut-ball Pope spreads his message of suicide.
