After Pope Francis early in his papacy decried capitalism as "trickle-down economics" — a polemical phrase coined by the left during the Reagan years that Francis frequently borrows — radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh commented, "This is just pure Marxism coming out of the mouth of the Pope." Talk show host Michael Savage called him "Lenin’s pope." Pope Francis took such comments as a compliment. "I have met many Marxists in my life who are good people, so I don’t feel offended," he told the Italian press.
Pope Francis grew up in socialist Argentina, an experience that left a deep impression on his thinking. He told the Latin American journalists Javier Camara and Sebastian Pfaffen that as a young man he "read books of the Communist Party that my boss in the laboratory gave me" and that "there was a period where I would wait anxiously for the newspaper La Vanguardia, which was not allowed to be sold with the other newspapers and was brought to us by the socialist militants."
The "boss" to whom Pope Francis referred is Esther Ballestrino de Careaga. He has described her as a "Paraguayan woman" and a "fervent communist." He considers her one of his most important mentors. "I owe a huge amount to that great woman," he has said, saying that she "taught me so much about politics."

Can a Catholic be a Marxist?
No. Never. The Catholic Canon denounces any system, like Marxism and Socialism, which enslaves people, punishes virtue, and treats human beings like cattle—to be herded and controlled from cradle to grave by sodomites/evil elites.
I am afraid that the CC was taken over by the satanic Freemasons (Lucifereans/sodomites) at VII, when they allowed all the heresies to flourish starting even before the 60s, which destroyed all the traditions in the Church to make it meaningless (just like most of the deChristianized Protestant churches, which Bonhoeffer noted in America in 1930.) The Ba’al worshippers had to infiltrate all Christian churches to remove all reason and logic and Natural Law (our Constitution) from its buildings so children will be dumb, irrational and fall for “homosexual” “marriage” (satanism). They needed “sin” to become obsolete, so evil could be made into “Good” for the children.
Bella Dodd exposed the Marxist infiltration to Congress in the 50s since she helped place thousands of homosexual Marxists (atheists) in the seminaries to destroy it from within. St. Pius X wrote in 1907 how the CC was being infiltrated by these godless “modernists” who worship the “he-she goat god”.
Pope Francis is an anti-pope, at best.
The SOB admits it!
God help us.
God help us. He needs a cup of John Paul I tea tonight!
The ImPopester is a communist.
He has a mission to destroy one of the institutions that stands in the way of the New World Order.
I’m not Catholic, so I’ll readily admit that I’m out of my depth here...but Catholics, how do you reconcile with this Pope leading the Church? I ask repectfully.
There have been decadent popes, mercantile popes and popes that can best be described as evil. The Church has always acknowledged this fact. The pope is a man who by definition is imperfect and sinful. What the Church holds dear is that when a Pope speaks ex cathedra on Church doctrine, he is guided by the Holy Spirit and is hence infallible. The Pope almost never speaks ex cathedra. When this Pope Francis gives one of his tortured, ignorant rants, the faithful are free to disagree or ignore him almost entirely.
So he admits he’s a Communist. That should result in his removal from the Papacy. To be a Communist is, among other things, to be an atheist. An atheist is not a Catholic and only a Catholic can be Pope. So “Pope” Francis can not legitimately be Pope. Perhaps we should call him an antipope.
Disgusting excuse for a pope. Prayers up for the church.
I remember watching old recordings from the 50's where Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen would rail against communism. He did an entire series on Communism that is still available on Youtube for those interested. Amazing speaker! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTuLU6EpNcI&t=1080s
This Catholic doesn’t, and won’t ever.
Thanks for the link. I had not seen that and look forward to watching.

Girls’. I think there are more than one of them.
The old standby “Is the Pope Catholic?” has lost its humor to me with Bergoglio. /o\ Just sayin’.
At best, which puts him at least in league with the devil.
He is an evil man.
Thanks, Susie.
I’m a convert, but even I have heard the old timers affirm what you said.
Now, Jorge ‘splains it to the world in his own words. There were warnings about this pick. He was well known in Argentina. Political hackery is not too far off in Argentina.
Jorge is cunning enough to avoid the heresy, while in the ex cathedra modus operandi.
You are right about the tortured blatherings. The tortured display is on purpose, because it serves the aforementioned purpose... to avoid the Chair of Moses in the process.
This continues to be in the news. The leaks of Podesta emails reopened some questions on the Soros-Obama involvement with getting Pope Francis installed.
I don’t. I haven’t been to church since he became pope. “It” isn’t just him.....”it” is as tangled as the computer wires under my desk.
Pope Francis’s Communist MentorShouldn't that be?:
