You just stated that Pope Benedict supports a Marxist position. You should retract that. Pope Benedict is not calling for the end of freedom. He is encouraging the world to not buy into rampant materialism.
What exactly is this much complained of “rempant materialism?”
I do not think the Pope understands that his position is the Marxist position. He is being politically correct and spouting off when he really does not understand what he is talking about. His statements are exactly like the left and support the left. If you do not see or understand that, then you don't really understand the left’s talking points and ideological agenda and how he is spouting off their talking points.
