Pope Francis Denounces Exploitative ‘Sirens of Populism’

ROME — Pope Francis condemned conservative populists Sunday, accusing them of exploiting people’s real needs with “facile and hasty solutions.”

“Let us not listen to prophets of doom,” the pontiff said in his homily for the World Day of the Poor. “Let us not be enchanted by the sirens of populism, which exploit people’s real needs by facile and hasty solutions.”

“Let us not follow the false ‘messiahs’ who, in the name of profit, proclaim recipes useful only for increasing the wealth of a few, while condemning the poor to the margins of society,” he urged.

Populists exploit people’s fears, the pope suggested, by peddling conspiratorial theories.

“If we think in this way, we let ourselves be guided by fear, and we may end up looking for answers with morbid curiosity in the ever-present chicanery of magic or horoscopes – today many Christians go visit magicians; they consult horoscopes as if they were the voice of God,” he lamented.

“Or again, we rely on some last-minute ‘messiah’ who peddles wild theories, usually conspiratorial and full of doom and gloom – conspiratorial theories are bad, they cause us a lot of harm,” he continued.

Populism is democracy writ large, Poop.

[lee martell]

Funny. Some might call this Pope the very same thing.

[Skywise]

Jesus was a populist

[vespa300]

Yeah, let us be Godless communists instead. Get outta here...

[G Larry]

I’m sure he’s referring to the WEF, Soros, Gates, Kerry, Biden’s handlers and his cabinet, Pelosi, Schumer, the MSM talking heads...

[BipolarBob]

I would answer the Pope thusly, “Render unto Caesar that which is Caesars and if he wishes to bray, please do so with the mules and asses”.

[Boogieman]

Sirens of Populism? Like Lauren Boebert and Kayleigh McEnany?

Would make a good name for a rock band too.

Paging Archbp Vigano...Archbp Carlo Vigano...

please pick up the white courtesy phone....

[Jan_Sobieski]

…but Socialism is a virtue to the Pope

[cockroach_magoo]

"conspiratorial theories are bad, they cause us a lot of harm"

Is this because people never conspire?

Or is it because when people conspire, they should be able to do so in darkness and with impunity?

[fortes fortuna juvat]

Populism is democracy writ large, Poop.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
It’s a movement of the common people and it terrifies those in positions of power. It has ever since the French Revolution, and the end of the ancien régime. It’s the spectre of the guillotine that haunts them in their sleep!

[alternatives?]

Is Global Warming not gloom and doom?

[maro]

Sirens of Papalism?

[The Duke]

Not much of a pope they got dere!

[dforest]

Is this guy a Pope or is he a Marxist politician? One thing is sure. He is on the side of Satan.

[SunkenCiv]

“Let us not listen to prophets of doom,”

...said the moron antipope, who’s constantly harping about the dangers of climate change, second amendment, free markets...

[bantam]

This guy might lead my Church, but he doesn’t lead me.
He is an apostate as far as I’m concerned, or maybe he’s a climatologist?
Not sure which…

[FreshPrince]

This is the future of the Church.

Popus hates it:

As a Catholic who loathes the fake Pope with a passion it's a great relief that he finally decided to rail against the leftist/globalist/NWO filth like Klaus Schwab and Yuval Urinal Harari at the WEF - “Let us not follow the false ‘messiahs’ who, in the name of profit, proclaim recipes useful only for increasing the wealth of a few, while condemning the poor to the margins of society,” he urged.

Which is precisely what the WEF filthbags are planning to do.
