Is the pope Communist?
Yes, his outlook is generally consistent with the Latin American flavor of Marxism of the 1950s and ‘60s. Think Che Guevara. The idea is that communists are the good guys on the side of the poor. Economics is thought to be a zero-sum game in which either the worker or the capitalist is benefiting but not both. And foreign policy and war are simply economic policy by other means. You see this in his inane comments suggesting that weapons manufacturers cause wars, etc.
