It has been called “charity” for the past two-thousand years.

I have no problem with that. Nor do I have a problem with:

“And they sold all that they had and had all things in common and laid everything at the Apostles feet.” as the New Testament said.

No one in the Apostolic Age church was forced to give or to sell. If you wanted to and then give it all away, then fine. If not, then fine. Just DONT make it look like you did one thing when you were doing another, as Ananias and Sapphira did.

That was “Commonism.”

Communism, though, takes - by force.

Commonism says “What is mine is thine.”

Communism says “What is thine is mine.”

If Pope Francis is preaching Commonism then that lines up with the New Testament. If not, then he is in grave error and heresy.

Saw some pretty impressive art, sculpture, massive tapestries and statues too,, wished I had more time to spend in an almost endless sprawling space full of history and passions of the heart.

It ain’t DisneyLand.

The HolyLand remains my bucket list.
