“His service to the poor,” was the stealing of money from others for use in making “the poor” dependent on the government for sustenance and reliable votes for Social Democrats. That is not a reflection of his Catholicism. Neither is his promotion of fountains of money for progressively more dysfunctional public schools. His is not a mixed blessing to Catholicism. It is unmitigated anti Catholicism in practice while claiming the mantle of the Church in order to get votes and socialize the Republic.
It would be a sort of simony with somebody else’s money.
