I expect that the next pope will be a marxist too.
Shorter: The commie pope was a dope.
He wasn’t a friend of Catholics or the Catholic Church, either.
Clergy who advocate handing out other people’s wealth are always loved.
Pope Francis counted among his trusted advisors, Jeffery Sachs and the crackpot warmists from Potsdam Institute, Schellnhuber and Rahmstorf. The next Pope might want to try some serious adults instead.
BTTT
OSAMA bin Ladin was a deeply religious man.
When we are forced to hand over our money we are robbed of our ability to Christian giving.
Francis, at his core, IMHO, was a Marxist. Francis believed that the poor could be eliminated by the State, helped by the
State, transported to better nations to be fed by the State, and cared for by the State. This leads to Marxist conflict with Christianity, and why the two cannot truly co-exist.
Marxism believes the State to be supreme, and thus all loyalty and sovereignty must be to the State. The people believe that the state will solve their problems, and thus all loyalty and expectations come to the state. Ergo, the State takes the place of God and personal responsibility and accountability become of the State.
Jesus said, “The poor will always be with you” and mentioned the gifts of the poor to the poor “She gave everything she had” or “Give up your wealth and follow the lord” and a “It’s easier to put a camel through the eye of needle than a Rich man to enter heaven” (forgive me for any misquotes or paraphrasing. Jesus was clearly putting the responsibility to help the sick and the poor on individuals, not the State. Jesus was clearly stating that there was a God, and we would be judged by our actions to the least of our peers. None of this is compatible with “Marxism” wherein only the state matters.
Pope that are Marxists cannot, IMHO, be with Jesus because they promote the ‘State’. Personal sacrifice and a relationship with God are really needed, to reach the kingdom. That’s how I see it, I am certain many disagree, but I see Marxism and Christianity as incompatible.
He was no friend of the Catholic church, either.
Marxists (and Christian imposters) are no friend of anyone.
Even tho he was an evil man, I would not celebrate his death. My preference for such is that he live long enough to see all he has done burn and then die in misery.
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
Frankie was a Red Commie Pope.
Matthew 7:21-23
King James Version
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity

He has a lot to answer for.
The “poor” were just window-dressing for him, the Marxist Pope with the biggest ego in memory. He really thought it was all about him….not about the Church of Christ and his position as Peter to confirm the brethren in the faith.
To make you really barf, he arranged his funeral and burial…not in the usual papal burial place, so thus it requires special arrangements….and will have 20 “poor”, homeless, migrants and transexuals standing at the door holding white roses as his coffin is brought in.
The man was evil, he used the Faith, and like any good Marxist, he used the underclass as a prop to gain power.
The pope was only a friend to SATAN!
Parable of the talents: Apply what talents you have diligently throughout life.
First commandment: Love God with all your mind, heart, and soul. To me this implies thinking about things and relates to the parable of the talents.
Idleness and dependency, sloth and carelessness are actually sinful.
These are Christian traits: Industry, savings (see the parable of the man who built a silo), charity, counseling the sinner to NOT sin anymore, fortitude, humility, etc.;
The 'planks' of the Democrat Party are the same things exactly as the Seven Deadly Sins; Sloth, Gluttony, Lust, Pride, Anger, Greed, Envy (Which is the pillar of Communism, Socialism, Liberalism, and the Rat Party).
Francis displayed most every trait of a Communist or American Rat. Of course his nostrums about charity were always really collectivism disguised as virtue.
He was never in favor of actually helping people himself or exhorting people to help others themselves; it was always the USAID-type grift that he had in mind. He never preached letting others enjoy what they had earned; instead he just blamed them for the rather understandable plight of the feckless, the lazy, the sexually incontinent, the libertine, and always, ALWAYS tried to transfer the problem to the innocent third-party uninvolved normals.
The "world" has been cruel to the poor, the gay, etc.
He also dealt harshly with Traditional and conservative Catholics.
