[Norm Lenhart]

Thats like asking a homo to condemn homosexuality.

[bert]

the priest on Fox is doing what the american catholic establishment always does...... lie about vatican actions and intentions and with soothing words, calm the flock lest they become disturbed by truth.

[piytar]

Um, because he is an anti-Pope?

[LibWhacker]

Good for him! That’s the elephant in the room.

[EEGator]

South American Jesuit...

[notdownwidems]

So what did ‘Il Papa’ have to say for himself?

[onedoug]

Because communism has more in common with socialism than it does with capitalism. It’s like the next jumping off point.

[setha]

How long until he gets demoted for speaking the truth?

[clamper1797]

uhh ...cause he’s a communist ?

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

The pope is a south American commie and nothing more.Next.

[Candor7]

“Why do you so strongly condemn capitalism … but we never see an equally strong condemnation of atheist communism?”>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Because according to Cheech and Chong, “ The Pope Smokes DOPE!”

[Logical me]

Because the Pope came from a communists Country and he does not give a darn for America's capitalism. I have no respect for this Pope, since he has let the church down.

[PATRIOT1876]

A lying pope is a useless pope.

A Communist pope is a dangerous pope.

[savagesusie]

So true. The ignorant pope is so weak in philosophy and the Catholic Canon that he does’t even understand the fundamental truth-—that Capitalism and Socialism can’t be moral or immoral.

Virtue of Man determines whether the system is “moral” or “immoral” but socialism sets up a system where theft and corruption is REWARDED-——and THAT, dear Pope, is an EVIL and VILE system.

It is irrational to promote Socialism as Solzhenitsyn stated, “Even a little bit of Socialism ROTS THE SOUL!!!!!” He should know.

[goldstategop]

Why do religious Catholics tolerate a fraud who warmly embraced the Castros and turned his back on the Cuban people?

[skimbell]

Well that's it for him.

He'll never make Monsignor.

[SeekAndFind]

RE: Why Condemn Capitalism So Strongly,But Not Communism?

And I wonder if Francis talked to the Castro’s about their political prisoners rotting in jail for years.

He certainly did not mention anything about them in public.

[jimbug]

One of the devotionals I read regularly(and send out to a list of friends and family) is Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Morning and Evening.

Spurgeon was a Particular Baptist preacher in the 1800s; he regularly railed against 'Popery' .

[x]

That's very typical for Latin Americans of his generation.

The problem is that it's not 1960 any more and he's not still in his early twenties.

[grimalkin]

I really wish we had someone like Pope John Paul II again.

The Vatican issues a challenge to liberation theology

Sweating profusely in the Nicaraguan heat on a March day in 1983, Pope John Paul II was forced to demand silence from a crowd of Sandinista hecklers present at an outdoor Mass in Managua. When Ernesto Cardenal Martinez, a Roman Catholic priest who also serves as Minister of Culture in Nicaragua's Marxist government, knelt to receive the Pope's blessing, John Paul wagged his finger in Cardenal's face and chided him, "You must straighten out your position with the church." These episodes, and his own keen observations...
