The Pope’s Shameless Coddling of the Chicoms

The Pope’s Shameless Coddling of the Chicoms

He dignifies this stance as the “way of diplomacy.”

Early in his papacy, Pope Francis tweeted out, “Inequality is the root of social evil.” That statement remains a defining moment of his pontificate. Contained in that one remark is a Marxist mindset alien to the Church’s teachings which has animated many of the pope’s worst policies, including his appallingly sympathetic treatment of China’s brutal regime. One of his Argentine cronies at the Vatican, Bishop Marcel Sorondo, has said with a straight face, “[A]t this moment, those who best realize the social doctrine of the Church are the Chinese.” Tell that to the millions of Chinese peasants suffering under the Marxist heel of crude Chicoms for whom the degradation of human life is routine. Forced equality, not inequality, is the root of social evil in China.

Cardinal Joseph Zen was found guilty of an imaginary offense recently in a Chinese kangaroo court without even a murmur from the pope.

According to most popes until this one, the root of evil lies in Satan’s refusal to accept inequality. I will not serve, Satan told God, rebelling against the truth that a creature is subordinate to his creator. Satan was the first champion of socialist egalitarianism, which explains why the Chicago activist Saul Alinsky gave tribute to him in his book Rules for Radicals. Alinsky cast Satan as a defender of the “have nots.” Alinsky even said that he would prefer hell to heaven, as the former is full of admirable “have nots.”

The God-ordained hierarchy of life is hateful to socialists. They deplore his order of things and seek to erase it through socialist tyranny. Religion in general and Catholicism in particular stand as an impediment to the fulfillment of their vision.

Could anyone imagine Pope Francis letting, say, Donald Trump influence the selection of bishops in the United States? That is inconceivable. Yet that is the pope’s policy toward the most ruthless regime in the world.

The big diff between the Pope and the Chicoms is that he lives in Rome.

Interesting article. Two lines leap out.

Satan was the first champion of socialist egalitarianism…
Pope Francis tweeted out, “Inequality is the root of social evil.”

The “Pope” has turned part of his church over to communists. Communism = atheism.

From the article: “he (the pope) has no intention of backing off his power-sharing agreement with the Chinese communists.”

Frankie From Argentina, according to Catholics, is the Vicar of Christ.

Since when did Christ made deals with baby-killers? Since when Did Christ make deals with those controlled by Satan?

Bergoglio made a deal with the CCP that will in effect have the CCP choosing the Catholic Bishops in China. This took place after the CCP notified all Christian churches in China that a new CCP version of the bible would be produced to conform to CCP social teachings, and it would be the “required” Bible for all Christians in China.

Bergolio has no faith. The Christians of the 1st-3rd centuries died rather than surrender their faith to the Roman emperors. How far (away from Christian faith) the Popes have come since then.
