[Just mythoughts]

Were you displeased by the accusations of Marxism, mostly American, after the publication of Evangelii Gaudium? Not at all. I have never shared the Marxist ideology, because it is not true, but I have known many great people who professed Marxism.

NO media outlet to blame, this is apparently unfiltered. I sure wish he had the courage to name one 'great' Marxist. This man is NOT what he is claiming to be. Marxist reject the Creator and there has never ever been a 'great' Marxist. Stuck on stupid. But the masses swoon.

Depends on what is meant by “great” here. It’s not a synonym for “good”, remember, as much as it is so used colloquially.

We must make Jesuitical fine distinctions. The pope did not say knew great Marxists. He said he knows great people who professed Marxism. (the Marxism the Pope said was untrue.)
