Dear Pope:
If you know someone who is hungry — YOU feed them. You are a good person, I know you will dig deep into your own pockets.
STOP trying to dig into mine.
Sincerely,
Ben
Pope Che was mistranslated again, I assure you.
He needs to start wearing a clown suit.
How much does this Pope talk about the Church’s mission of bringing people to Christ?
All I ever hear out of him is global warming and social justice
“Whoever originated the cliche that money is the root of all evil knew hardly anything about the nature of evil and very little about human beings.”
Eric Hoffer
this pope sucks,no pun intended
Karl Marx HATED religion.
He thought it was “the opiate of the masses”.
I’m sure he’d get a kick out of the Pope being his biggest cheerleader in 2015.
Dear Pope:
If it weren’t for wealthy nations and capitalism, the world’s poor would be much, much worse off than they are.
How many people did the Soviet Union lift out of poverty? Cuba? Venezuela?
Yeah, me neither.
The Savage Nation at this moment is going off on him.
How many billions of dollars is the Catholic Church sitting on?
Spend some of your own money before you start bad-mouthing me for working hard, putz.
This Pope is sitting on how much in treasure in Vatican City?
Maybe the Pope ought to stick to matters of religion, and not delve into the areas of politics and economics as he has done...because he doesn’t know what the Hell he’s talking about. Marxism has been proven to be an utter failure, so FORCED sharing of the fruits of one’s labor should be off the table. Further, many of those poor people wouldn’t even be alive but for advances in medicine and sanitation made by the rich nations. Simple laws of economics dictate that over time those who are willing to work for less (i.e. the poor) will get more jobs and begin to enjoy the fruits of their OWN labor. This is ALREADY happening - look at how the wealth and income of the average Indian (south Asian variety) and Chinese person has increased over the last 20 years, as rich, Western nations have shifted production to those nations (among many others). Give it time, Francis, and go back to your basic Economics texts - preferably not those written by those who hate Capitalism.
I’m not Catholic, but didn’t Jesus say words to the effect that the poor will always be with us? If that’s the case and this guy is a believer (and one would hope that the head of this rather large and long-standing religious organization IS a believer), then it shouldn’t bother him so much that he puts his and his organization’s credibility on the line with such drivel.
To quote a line from a movie, “Lighten up, Francis.”
This “red pope” hasn’t familiarized himself with the history of Vatican mixing politics into religious decree, has he? Any wonder the church’s vulnerability grows under this order?
perhaps the pope should practice what he preaches and share some the dollars he controls..
He's the godfather!!
wow.
It is a fallacy that some are poor because others aren’t. I think even most leftists in this country will admit that.
We should ALL be starving apparently
That would be so much better
lol
I guess this a real Papal Bull....
