“I can only say that the communists have stolen our flag. The flag of the poor is Christian. Poverty is at the center of the Gospel,” he said, citing Biblical passages about the need to help the poor, the sick and the needy.

Pope Francis, "I can only say that the communists have stolen our flag".

The flag was never stolen; it was voluntarily handed over by Pope John XXIII under no duress.

Thanks, narses. Pope Francis is one of the hardest-working Popes in recent memory. I hope that he takes a break soon, and takes Pope Benedict with him. Two weeks or more would be best, but even a few days would be good.

May God bless and protect them.
