The Economy of Francesco might be characterized as an ecological religion rather than an economic blueprint, one in which the ideal society is not a Christian civilization but pagan tribal life in harmony with nature.

He is insane, senile, or both. Or he’s just out there spouting world socialist BS views he actually holds.
ANTI-pope.
Interesting. Jerry Rubin embraced capitalism and the market place mechanism as the only poor society’s could ever grow out of mass poverty.
How did we ever end up with a president, vp and pope like this?
And yet he’s putting Nieman Marcus in the Vatican.
Lol
I hope everyone enjoys the coming Dark Ages. I’m too old to get involved.
