For Game of Thrones fans. You just can't convince me the Vatican didn't hire the High Sparrow Jonathan Pryce to fill in until they can find an actual Communist to take over. :)

During this week where Americans have been distracted by the unexpected upset of a presidential election that could very well change the course of our collective future, Pope Francis has been busy making political statements of his own.
In yet another interview with Eugenio Scalfari (see our standard rebuttal to “you can’t trust Scalfari!” here), this exchange was reported to have taken place:
"You told me some time ago that the precept, “Love your neighbour as thyself” had to change, given the dark times that we are going through, and become “more than thyself.” So you yearn for a society where equality dominates. This, as you know, is the programme of Marxist socialism and then of communism. Are you therefore thinking of a Marxist type of society?
“It it has been said many times and my response has always been that, if anything, it is the communists who think like Christians. Christ spoke of a society where the poor, the weak and the marginalized have the right to decide. Not demagogues, not Barabbas, but the people, the poor, whether they have faith in a transcendent God or not. It is they who must help to achieve equality and freedom”. [emphasis added]
One of the most hotly contested criticism of Pope Francis is that he is ideologically aligned with Marxists. We’ve covered some of the connections before, so I won’t rehash them here. What seems fair to say is that this is the most direct admission yet that Francis identifies his program of social justice as something compatible with Communism – itself an intrinsic evil.
Of course, this seems all of a piece. On the eve of the US Presidential election — which featured the most pro-abortion candidate for the presidency in this nation’s history-......

This would come as news to the millions of Christians slaughtered by communists.
The past 3 days have been quite remarkable. Firstly, the news comes out that members of the Pontifical Academy for Life will no longer be required to sign a pro-life declaration.. Yesterday, we heard the Pope deride young people who love the Church's traditional liturgy. Today, this.
These things were said and done by a Pope....a reigning Pope.
Let's all think about that for a couple of minutes.
Catholics have a dope, when the need a Pope.
Francis the talking poop has his jaws moving again...sounds just like a Clinton to me!!!
When are the Catholics going to dump this Leftist Loon? He is Exhibit A why it is a bad idea to have a pope.
Proof positive that my Protestant ancestors were right about the gangster religion, corrupted by the hubris of one man
You mean like Lavrentiy Beria?
If the pope said that then the pope is full of crap.
The US Constitution is as close a Government has ever come to honoring God.
Should there be additions, I’m ready to listen.
... but until then.
Hmm..let’s see, how many people did Stalin kill again? How about Mao? Ho Chi Minh? The list goes on.
Unbelievable.
Since when do communist prisoners (aka, the populace) have a right to decide anything? This pope is an embarrassment.
Ummmm, no.
This pope has jumped the shark.
John Paul II, we need you!
La Pope through implication admits he is a communist
Frankie, you’re an asshole.
The insanity of liberation theology
Ok, so there seems to be a worldwide common-sense revolution.
Happened with Brexit.
Happened with Trump.
Now it is time to happen with the Pope.
Except for the atheist part of communism. Maybe the pope didn’t know about that part.

Pope Peronista I speaks.
We really need Benedict to step up.
