Pope Francis: 'Tea Party Catholic'?

On Breitbart News Saturday, Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon and Editor in Chief Alex Marlow discussed Pope Francis's remarks to the United Nations where he called for "legitimate redistribution of economic benefits by the State," using government and the private sector. Bannon asked guest Austin Ruse, former head of the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute and a Breitbart contributor, “Is Pope Francis a Commie?"

"I know he is a Jesuit," Bannon said, explaining that Jesuits sit at the vanguard of the Communist revolution in Latin America there, before asking if "Pope Francis been taken over by liberation theology?” Bannon, who also hosts Breitbart News Sunday, noted that the pontiff had tweeted from his official account a couple of weeks ago that “inequality is the root of social evil.”

Ruse answered by saying that, “I don’t think he is a Communist. I think that he is largely misunderstood.”(continued)

A socialist? No. And definitely not one whose religious beliefs are informed by their secular politics. Unlike some.

And when the protestant love affair with the United States is over The Church will still be there to pick up the pieces and help us move on. Those of us who are concerned about our civilization better start thinking about how we are going to help do that.

Immigration destroyed America.

[JPX2011]

Immigration destroyed America

Perhaps it did. At least the recognition is made that America is destroyed. I'll leave it to the resident statisticians to divine the quantitative.

[Just mythoughts]

This nation was founded by Protestants. They recognized and made this nation’s standard, that unalienable rights of ‘life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness’ come only from the Creator. Name one nation under catholic doctrine rule that even comes close to acknowledging that standard.

Tell me why Catholic Mexico treats its peoples in such a manner that it has to export its citizens to leech off US to survive?

[wardaddy]

Lol

Man John Paul and Benedict sure didn’t evoke so much parsing and excusing and rationalizing and ambiguity

[ansel12]

Catholic immigration is a problem, and always has been.

[catfish1957]

I am a Protestant who attends Catholic Church (wife's insistence). The Catholic Church even now continues to try to grease the skids to try to get more immigrants in this country. I hear it first hand. And I agree with you, jokers like this Catholic zealot are helping our demise.

I sure didn't want to see this thread degrade into a Protestant v. Catholic feud, but if he wants to debate the morality of the past 2000 years of the Catholic Church............

[ansel12]

America.

I like it, and the people that created it.

[catfish1957]

This nation was founded by Protestants. They recognized and made this nation’s standard, that unalienable rights of ‘life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness’ come only from the Creator. Name one nation under catholic doctrine rule that even comes close to acknowledging that standard.

And that is why there has only been one Catholic president. The Vatican demands obedience, and loyalty. Having our POTUS avoid competing priorities has been one reason for our success.

[JPX2011]

This nation was founded by Protestants

For that they have my gratitude. But I think it's time we all recognized the experiment in post-enlightenment radical individualism is over. What we see today as we bemoan the loss of our nation is the natual extension of that belief system.

Mexico is hardly Catholic in its governing structures.

[JPX2011]

Catholic immigration is a problem, and always has been.

I suppose it would be a problem to the modern secularist protestant view that extols the supremacy of individual above God.

Like I said I'll leave the quantifying to the statistical experts. I guess some are just itching to perform their Glenn Beck chalkboard flow-chart act.

[catfish1957]

Mexico is hardly Catholic in its governing structures.

If Pope Francis went to Mexico City, and visited the president of Mexico, would the president bow to knee, and kiss his ring?

[ansel12]

Mexico has always been Catholic.

America was largely destroyed by starting Catholic immigration in the mid 1840s.

By 1850 this country was already 5% Catholic, while Mexico was close to a 100%.

[Just mythoughts]

And that is why there has only been one Catholic president. The Vatican demands obedience, and loyalty. Having our POTUS avoid competing priorities has been one reason for our success.

Speaker Boehner is not loyal to the US Constitution upon which he swore an oath to uphold. It was not until a few months ago I learned that Boehner is Catholic. Then it all made sense why he refused to break Nancy Pewlouise funding 'catholic-care' rules. He is loyal first to his church and they campaigned for 'universal healthcare'. I fully expect him to fulfill his obligation to his church by shoving amnesty upon US.

This Pope is not for individual freedom. And he is ridiculing the idea of 'NO taxation/mandates without representation'. He just wants his cut of the 'benefits' collected by the tax collectors.

[JPX2011]

If Pope Francis went to Mexico City, and visited the president of Mexico, would the president bow to knee, and kiss his ring?

I don't know. I'm an American, not a Mexican. Do you know?

[itssme]

Let the late Pope John Paul II be our guide..would his beliefs and words have reflected those of Pope Francis? The answer is NO. I worried when they were first in the process of electing a Pope, and noticed that there were a few contenders who were Jesuits and had leftist beliefs. When Francis was chosen, I thought I read that he chastised any priest in the Church who believed in communist/socialist/marxist ideology in any form. We must watch closely and demand that the Church be free of any leftist attachment, or they certainly will lose members in the USA who will not follow him or his decrees.

[JPX2011]

America was largely destroyed by starting Catholic immigration in the mid 1840s.

And so what is your solution to remove this Catholic blight from American society?

[ansel12]

If that were true, then why did you write posts 50 and 59?

[catfish1957]

I don't know. I'm an American, not a Mexican. Do you know?

You are a strong minded, strict sounding Catholic, and you don't know your Church's protocols and dogma concerning addressing popes, cardinals, bishops?

I don't believe you.

[Just mythoughts]

For that they have my gratitude. But I think it's time we all recognized the experiment in post-enlightenment radical individualism is over. What we see today as we bemoan the loss of our nation is the natual extension of that belief system. Mexico is hardly Catholic in its governing structures.

The gratitude should be to the Creator. He is the one who bestowed His blessings upon this nation because He was acknowledged as the one in control. NOT some religious organization that promotes itself as veil over Jesus.

There is nothing 'radical' about individualism. That is exactly how judgment day is going to unfold. Each and every soul is going to be judged all on their own. The only advocate will be Christ. I won't be taking any ranking preacher/priest as my excuse or cause for my actions or lack thereof.
