IN HIS visit to the United States beginning Tuesday, Pope Francis will meet not just President Obama and Congress but also those marginalized by our society: homeless people, immigrants, refugees and even the inmates of a jail. He’s expected to raise topics that many Americans will find challenging, such as his harsh critique of capitalism. His supporters say it’s all part of the role the pope has embraced as an advocate for the powerless, one that has earned him admiration from both Catholics and some outside the church.
How, then, to explain Pope Francis’s behavior in Cuba? The pope is spending four days in a country whose Communist dictatorship has remained unrelenting in its repression of free speech, political dissent and other human rights despite a warming of relations with the Vatican and the United States. Yet by the end of his third day, the pope had said or done absolutely nothing that might discomfit his official hosts.

Tool alert!
Pope Francis is a Peronista Marxist, a modernist heretic, and an obnoxious megalomaniac. Catholic affirmative action in practice ... What a disaster for the Church. Wait until his synod on “the family” gives us sacrilegious communions and recognition of same-sex “marriage” - then will come the schism: The true Bride of Christ vs. the Anti-Church of liberal impostors.
I am shocked by WaPo’s editorial.
Cuba has sooo much poverty did the Pope condemn the Communist system like he does condemn Capitalism
It is easy: he is a Marxist first, an (anti) Pope second. Although they are actually the same thing.
Just like Obama is a Marxist first, an Islamist sympathizer (at least) second. Again, same thing.
When the Washington Post calls someone a Commie-Appeaser, that is saying something.
Shocking indeed! The Washington Post is usually the apologist for Cuba and now suddenly they are concerned about Castro repression.
Of course in the glory days, they could speak of a quarter century of Batista rule. But now that seems quite lame after more than half a century of the Castro Brothers.
Indeed! Probably the only one I’ll ever give my complete approval to.
Your opinion is right on the spot but apparently US Catholics don’t see the Pope as such.
When Obama has state dinners for the Saudi king isn’t he also appeasing repressive Saudi Arabia?
Pope Francis (Jorge Bergoglio) and Barrack Hussein Obama have much in common - both believe that “inequality is the root of all social evil” That remark is a direct quote taken from the official Twitter page of Pope Francis.

Pope Francis is also in favor of One World Government.
He thinks anthropogenic climate change is real.
He ties his horse to population control advocates, and atheists alike.
He thinks air conditioners are a luxury that should be curtailed.
He smiles a sh*t eating grin when receiving from a fellow Marxist a “sculpture” that depicts Jesus Christ crucified on a communist hammer and sickle!
He has no misgivings whatsoever about having openly homosexual clergy run the Vatican Bank, particularly when they are his personal friend and house attendant - even after they have been caught with a boy prostitute ... But then, “who am I to judge?”
The points you cite about the Pope need to be part of the public debate as to how much free rein this man should be given as to the US society influence. As for me he has little more influence than a bistro bouncer, which by the way he once was.
He’s no Pope John Paul by a longshot.
that's what I'M sayin'.
Did you read the article?
I could cite a lot more - and this clown is a total disaster for the integrity of the Church. I am a traditional Catholic, and I cannot remain silent while this Argentinian Peronist fool remakes the Church into a homosexual-socialist characiture. The “New Evangelization” is the same old BS of the serpent, expressed in the language of the Modernist heresy and the French Revolution - “Liberty! Equality! Fraternity!”
Probably had to appease .. to make sure they allowed him to leave the island.
He's not even Father Guido Sarducci by a long shot.
