Liberation theology was developed by the KGB to use Catholic teaching as a tool to assist in the Communist takeover of Latin America.

Pope Francis promotes the KGB world view that free enterprise economies are driven by greed and that poverty is a result of economic freedom. Communists and totalitarians are said to care about their people when they deny them freedom or opportunity.

The poor are used as an ideological weapon against progress. The poor are use as an ideological weapon against personal freedom and personal responsibility. The poor are used as an ideological weapon against America.

Pope Francis is unaware and/or refuses to accept that free economies are dominated not by rich and poor but by the middle class.

Pope Francis is trying to turn the Catholic Church into a tool to promote totalitarianism. His heroes are the people who have created misery and suffering in Venezuela, Cuba and other Communist countries.

Pope Francis is an evil man. He is not a man of God.

Post #1 >>>Pope Francis is trying to turn the Catholic Church into a tool to promote totalitarianism. His heroes are the people who have created misery and suffering in Venezuela, Cuba and other Communist countries.

Pope Francis is an evil man. He is not a man of God.<<<

Judge not so harshly, lest you be judged in the same measure.

Have a delightful day...

The whole issue is how the Bible and in a special way, the NT is understood.

Take care of the disabled, mentally deficient, orphans and the elderly. Let the other “poor” people fend for themselves.

The article cited Pope Francis’ assertion that “poverty is the great teaching” Jesus gave us, and that “the poor are not a burden but a resource.”

If the poor are such a wonderful resource, why doesn't Pope Francis get off his fat a$$ and donate his billions, tear down his wall, and move 7000 muslim refuges into Vatican City, so that he will cease being a mega hypocrite?

If poverty is so noble and great, everyone should become impoverished, NO EXCEPTIONS FOR THE POPE AND HIS NWO COLLEGUES!

“The Pope is a Dope.”

I wish this were the case. Unfortunately, Pope Francis is more dangerous than dopey.

“How I wish that Christians could kneel in veneration when a poor person enters the church.”

And we should kneel and kiss the ring of the Pope, pray to dead Mary and other saints. Yeah, I think evil and not a man of God pretty much sums it up. Worship (and don't split hairs over the meaning of veneration) belongs only to God. Capitalism has helped millions and socialism has brought misery and destitution to millions but that is lost on the Pope in the palace.

Most poor people are religious fundamentalists of one sort or another. How do liberals manage to love one and hate the other???

This Pope places ideology before faith and truth.

less fossil fuels,

Less fossil fuel
or
fewer fossil fuels

It is really a shame that J school no longer requires proficiency in the English, or probably any other language, to write for publication.
