Turn down any corridor in Francis’s Vatican, and you are likely to run into a de facto communist: Francis has a communist running his order, a communist running his Council of Cardinals (the Honduran cardinal, Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga), a communist running the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences (Margaret Archer, a British sociologist who has said that she represents the “Marxian left”), and communists such as the renegade Brazilian liberation theologian Leonardo Boff and the Canadian socialist Naomi Klein drafting his encyclicals.

Fr. Antonio Spadaro, another Jesuit close to Pope Francis, tweeted out earlier this year this profundity: “Theology is not #Mathematics. 2 + 2 in #Theology can make 5. Because it has to do with #God and real #life of #people.”

Communism is atheistic materialism. This pope needs to read Divini Redemptoris.

De facto Protestant in the chair of Peter? I would dare say not even Christian. OK, maybe UCC, PCUSA, ELCA, Episcopalian, or the other social justice denominations that fly the abomination Rainbow Flag. My parents dread the day that Bergoglio has that thing flown from Catholic churches. Maybe it’s time to disband the Jesuits. I know there is a procedure to defrock a priest, but can a cardinal be defrocked. Bergoglio’s successor (I can’t bring myself to refer to him as pope) needs to have a strong backbone and conviction to tell some of these the Donald line - “You’re fired.”
