Pope Francis wraps up the first leg of a three-nation South American pilgrimage Wednesday after issuing an impassioned call for a new economic and ecological world order where the goods of the Earth are shared by everyone, not just exploited by the rich

is this the same voice of the old “liberation theology” which proved so disastrous?
No thank you popester.
Frankie isn’t a Pope. He’s a politician.
Another High Priest is calling for “Human Sacrifice”.
He is no longer pope. He is an imposter.
What a fool is this elderly leftist.
However, he’s even more “green” and left than the lefty dictators he’s visiting.
I was reading in the WSJ that he was gushing on and on about “Mother Earth” and how there should be no more petroleum extraction...and some of the lefties actually objected, saying they were not meant to be “park rangers for the developed world,” but that they wanted to develop too and that their people needed the money from hydrocarbons extraction! Even wacked out leftist dictators (such as those of Bolivia and Ecuador) see the need for income and productivity and do not want to be the Pope’s pet “poor” living in what he obviously thinks would be primitive splendor.
I didn’t even know the Ecuador leg of South America was broken.
The Chinese government is stripping churches of crosses and ISIS barbarity continues unabated
To be a Christian is a death sentence in wide swaths of the world
Christianity is on its way to be labeled as “Hate speech” in the enlightened western countries
Way to go Francis
On behalf of Christians:
“Is there no one else?”
A foolish elderly leftist. That is the image I have of him. God has nothing to do with his work anymore. His mission is not to save man from sin but to save nature from man. Maybe he’ll go pray at Stonehenge, bring us back full cycle
Very descriptive
Thank you.
When I want Economic or Meteorological advice, a theologian is not the first person to pop into my mind.
Well we know what happens to those who don’t want to share what they are told to share don’t we? I am not writing of Christ inspired charity but of forced redistribution of the products of our labor.
Do we still have people here that defend this marxist pope?
For a long while his defenders would dutifully march out and claim Francis was misunderstood, misinterpreted, misquoted, etc, etc.
Can we all agree now that picking a South American Jesuit was bound to be a disaster? If Francis isn’t a communist, he is pretty darn close.
I am not a Catholic and really don’t care what becomes of that particular institution, but I know he has sway with a billion(ish) people and is doing great damage to the cause of individual liberty, free markets, etc.
Frankly, the world will be far better off when this Pope passes on and maybe the Catholic church will pick someone who wouldn’t make Mao proud.
Pope Francis has become part of the problem, by being so off message from what Christians need.
Pope alert
If I were Catholic I would quit the church.
I believe that the Pope would be happy to turn the world into a commune and be its president and have our current leader as his vice president. They would make a perfect pair. It would be a match made in heaven....no pun intended!
FUPF
Would be nice to hear the Pope call for the freeing of Christian Pastors held in Iran and Pakistan and other countries holding Christians or any religious prisoners.
