From the laughable notion that recreating the Petrine Office in one's own image and likeness is a mark of "humility," to the dog-and-pony press conference that presented the 40,000 word Eco-Marxist manifesto Laudato Si' to the world as a contribution to the social doctrine of the Church, the current pontificate is so lacking genuine Catholic character that its official messaging often gives off the unmistakable stench of a spin job deliberately crafted to deceive.
The farcical tones that began emanating from Rome in the early evening hours of 13 March 2013, apparently detectable to but a relative few early on, have been growing louder and louder ever since.

Global communism for $1,000, Alex.
If so then you will understand that greed, avarice and idolatry of money are sins. So you shouldn't have a problem with what Pope Francis says here, since it is no different from what any other pope said about greed, avarice and idolatry.
"Once capital becomes an idol and guides peoples decisions, once greed for money presides over the entire socioeconomic system, it ruins society, it condemns and enslaves men and women, it destroys human fraternity"
The article you posted says JPII was a bad pope. It suggests that he was an apostate.
Totally agree with you. Now how do we get rid of this Marxist Pope? As a Catholic, I say don’t give any money to the Church, and let them know why. Hit them where it hurts, and they may do something about this Pope. Does anyone else have any ideas?
This is what the article said. It did not say “JPII was a bad Pope”.
The article was incorrect in saying Pope Francis has taken JPII’s concepts too far. Pope Francis’s concepts are strict Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist with a little Castro and Hugo Chavez thrown in.
Pope Francis was not criticizing the flaw of greed in the individual. He was saying free enterprise economies were evil. He was saying people who work hard and try to improve life for themselves and their families are evil.
This philosophy has been the number one cause of human suffering and human misery in the last century. From the former Soviet Union to Eastern Europe to China,North Korea, Indochina and Cuba is has been the most destructive force in history.
Look at Pope Francis admiring the blasphemy of our Savior Jesus Christ on the greatest symbol of evil in the modern world, the hammer and sickle.
The article says that "apostasy" is the logical conclusion of JPII's pontificate.
"...it is more obvious now than ever just how much [Francis] and John Paul II have in common. In fact, I would argue that the aforementioned papal shenanigans in Bolivia provides solid evidence that Francis is simply carrying the failings of Pope John Paul II closer and closer to their logical conclusion; all out apostasy."
That's what he's doing here:
"Once capital becomes an idol and guides peoples decisions, once greed for money presides over the entire socioeconomic system, it ruins society, it condemns and enslaves men and women, it destroys human fraternity"
Pray for him and realize that most of the stories we get about him are false.
Zenit is the best bet.
“Francis is simply carrying the failings of Pope John Paul II closer and closer to their logical conclusion; all out apostasy.”
I disagree with the article in its contention that Pope Francis is taking the teachings of Pope John Paul II too far and that that is the problem. That is simply not so. Pope Francis is influenced by Marxism and Castro and Chavez.
The article did not say JPII was a bad Pope. It did make the accusation that JPII had an influence on Pope Francis’ socialist tendencies. That accusation is wrong.
“Once capital becomes an idol and guides peoples decisions, once greed for money presides over the entire socioeconomic system, it ruins society”
This attack on free enterprise and personal freedom has been standard Communist propaganda for decades. Free societies like the United States are based on greed. Countries like the former Soviet Union truly care about the good of the people.
Pope Francis is merely parroting Communist propaganda.
