POPE KARL I
Frontpagemag.com ^ | September 16, 2015 | Robert Spencer

Posted on 09/16/2015 4:48:05 AM PDT by Biggirl

Did Karl Marx become Pope on March 13, 2013? As the leader of a Church that encompasses the globe, one might expect Pope Francis to be a bit more…spiritual. Instead, he has more than once had recourse to Marxist analysis to explain global events, appearing to see economic deprivation as the cause of all the world’s evils. He did it again in an interview published last Monday, when he opined that the root cause of the refugee crisis engulfing Europe was economic inequality.

We're all getting to see how politically correct "speech codes" got started at the universities.

Yes. There is a lot more that has been said and could be said again regarding creeping totalitarianism on FR.

Yes it is. And you’ll have to take that matter up with the site’s operator(s), not me.

Nonsense. It’s actually in DEFENSE of the Catholic church.
Again, would you consider our criticism of Obama “America bashing”? Our criticism of Obama is based on our love of America, traditional American values, and the Constitution.

Your original statement was a bashing of the Catholic leader of the Roman Catholic church. Catholic bashing.

You posted: "This Pope is quickly become a disgrace to all freedom loving people." Some DEFENSE. Also attacks the members of that church who follow Francis the Talking Pope and revere him.

What's that river in Egypt again...?

I didn't write that. That was someone else. I did reply in agreement though.

In any case, once again, do you consider our criticisms of Obama "America bashing"?

Beg pardon; you were not the OP. But you HAVE inserted yourself into the debate with me as one who "did reply in agreement though". So, what's the diff. It's still Catholic bashing. Ask someone in authority over these matters, not me, if you still doubt.

"Catholic bashing has been banned permanently from Free Republic."

Begs the questions then; does a Bear shite in the woods? is the pope catholic?

Short answer—yes, he did. He now calls himself Francis.

The pope is a head of state, no different than the king of Saudi Arabia. He is no more immune to criticism just because he’s Catholic than the king is just because he’s Moslem.

Wow. That's a stretch.

All Catholic bashing, and Pope Francis is a Catholic, has been nixed on FR RF by Jim Robinson this past July. It's his decision.

The post in question was a bashing of Pope Francis, a Roman Catholic.

Then no criticizing of al Baghdadi is allowed, either, since he is a self-proclaimed head of an entire religion.

Take it up with FR’s owner and operator whose decision you are arguing against.

Not questioning his Catholicism, but his socialist side is a bit much, don't you agree?

Absolutely agree his socialist side is extremely anti-American and I despise it.

And now I have a better understanding of what doesn’t constitute “Catholic-bashing” on FR.

Thanks for your reply.

Bashing Francis is no more “Catholic bashing” than bashing Nancy Pelosi, a Roman Catholic, is “Catholic bashing”.

Neither can bashing Obama be called “black bashing”.

Francis is not a religion; he’s a man.

So, it's okay, according to you, to bash individual Catholics on FR so long as a FReeper doesn't bash the religion of Catholicism? Don't think that's correct.

Apparently, your personal interpretation of FR Catholic bashing differs from the site operator's opinion. Have received a clarification today about this matter from the site operator himself. What you have posted in response to me is not what he ordained for FR in July or indicated today.

What's odd is that I was defending AGAINST Catholic bashing on FR!

Just remember what you've posted. You may be quoted in the future.

Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, Ted Kennedy, have all been bashed on this forum, by Catholics.

Feel free to do so! Your threats don't scare me.

I regret you took my comments as a threat. But I see you did and for that, I wish I had chosen other words for expressing that you apparently do not realize yet what you have posted.
