Pope Francis is repeating what Jesus told us.
We need to voluntarily share with others so that they have an opportunity to participate in God’s and our love. That is not Marxism, that is Christianity.
What the Pope proposes is voluntary (Americans are already very generous) and that it comes from the heart. We get a lot more when we generously help others. Check it out in the Bible.
The Pope is hopeful for a peaceful world if people will listen and work together with others without the violence and mean spirited positions. The Pope recognizes that there is evil in this world and tries to conquer it through love of neighbor as Jesus did.
When the state tries to control wealth and mandates income redistribution that is Marxism and communism.
Pay attention to the words and actions of the Pope and not the liberal interpretation of the liberal press.
“When the state tries to control wealth and mandates income redistribution that is Marxism and communism.”
And those who support the state implementing Marxism and communism are Marxists and communists. Pope Francis is a communist and a Marxist.
Jesus didn’t advocate this.
“What the Pope proposes is voluntary (Americans are already very generous) and that it comes from the heart.”
NO! What the Pope proposes is not that Americans donate to the causes the Pope wants its that GOVERNMENT open our borders, GOVERNMENT pay for illegal immigrants (Note he uses the same lines that dishonestly fail to distinguish between “illegal immigrants” and “immigrants”).
The Pope is a big-government Marxist, and supports forcing Americans to pay for it all. There is nothing voluntary about it. You know it. The pope knows it.
He’s turned the papacy into a political shill for liberal democrats and illegal immigrants.
Who the hell does he think he is? If he wants to turn Catholics into a worldwide liberal political bloc - which appears to be his strategy (rather than focus on moral individuals doing the right thing as a group) he will destroy your church.
He has cheapened the papacy, and prefers to reach into wallets (through government) to benefit and encourage lawbreakers who he practically canonizes on the spot (illegals) rather than do it the way Jesus commanded.
A cheesy Latin American Peronist politician who will take prosperity and hand it to immoral big government hacks.
No thanks.

Fine, but what I object to is this pope telling us we don't do enough. America has given tons of money to the poor around the world, both in tax dollars and in charitable contributions. Much of that money has gone to hell holes whose citizens are now entering the US illegally to sponge off our already overburdened welfare system. Not to mention the so-called Muslim refugees, purportedly from Syria, who will be coming here to sponge off us too. (What about the persecuted Christians?) Yet, this pope has the audacity to try to lay a guilt trip on us.
When the Vatican starts taking in refugees, maybe I'll listen to the pope. For now, he can go pound sand.
