The Vatican website say that Pope Francis said “legitimate redistribution of benefits. Why did the AP change that to redistribution of wealth? That’s what I want to know.

Either the Vatican is trying to put a positive spin on some outright stupid remarks the Pope said, or the MSM is trying to manipulate Il Papa's words to fit their agenda.

Or both.

Based on this and many other suspicious remarks Francis has made - I'm convinced he is a clueless leftist.

Either the Vatican is trying to put a positive spin on some outright stupid remarks the Pope said, or the MSM is trying to manipulate Il Papa's words to fit their agenda.

It depends on what the meaning of "legitimate" is. If it means "authorized by government" then it is forced redistribution. If it means charitable giving, perhaps enhanced and encouraged by government (charitable deduction, examples set by leaders), then it's a more traditional Christian sentiment.

I don't know his intention.

The ONLY LEGITIMATE redistribution of benefits is via the supply and demand of the voluntary free market economy.

Even a call for “legitimate redistribution of benefits" is vague enough to make tyrants and would-be tyrants think they've got support for their Marxist/Collectivist schemes.
