To call it “pure Marxism” is as someone noted ‘bombastic nonsense’.
About as well as it did for the Pilgrims. And they were Protestants. So this is interdenominational.
Exactly.
do you think supply and demand should be outlawed?
That is exactly what he's saying =>
We need to be convinced that charity “is the principle not only of micro-relationships (with friends, with family members or within small groups) but also of macro-relationships (social, economic and political ones)".

Because you Don’t understand what the pope is actually saying...you listen to the media’s interpretation and don’t like the Pope and Catholics so off you go.
Inevitably you’re one of THE first to start the Catholic bashing..no matter what the issue is.
so go for it.its a free country, even for those who are biased, or shall I say , bigoted.
I’ll never bow down to the god of government. Letting politicians usurp the free will of men is an abomination and so is this bogus and Marxist pope.
BTW, this is coming from a Catholic convert, that is, if my conscience still permits.
I disagree. It is a definition without in this case any backing, and that is the kind of ignorance that I find offensive, and not as you allege in your cheap psychologizing an insult to the Pope.
I never said he was a Communist. He’s a throwback to the Middle Ages.
About as well as it did for the Pilgrims. And they were Protestants. So this is interdenominational.
Sadly, for many, any desire realized is automatically logged as “greed” when it is more than they have.
Judge not, lest ye be judged.
Meanwhile, the pope is a little like Obama. The more he says, the more his motives and sensibilities are exposed for all to see. And all but the True Believers will see right through him.
It’s you passing judgments on others and telling them what they understand and don’t understand. I understand enough, thank you and buzz off!
and not as you allege in your cheap psychologizing an insult to the Pope.
Are you not reading my posts?
I like the way you keep your head while all about are losing theirs. ;^)
Go ahead, insult the Pope, I won’t object, but in return I’ll insult the millionaire radio entertainers.
“If the Pope is calling on the state, politicians, to create a charity state that gives everything to everyone, then he asking the government to put us all in comfy prisons.”
And I would agree with you - except that everything the pope is saying is predicated on a love for Christ. There is only freedom in Christ.
“I don’t think Rush is too attached to his things. I think he enjoys them for sure, but Rush spends far more time talking about concepts like liberty, morality, responsibility, you get my drift, than he ever spends talking about things.”
Well, he can’t talk about ONLY his things because then no one would listen! :)
Yeah, your stand against FR philistinism is so heroic and stuff.
Without you, what other firewall against our lowbrow ignorance would we have?
No. And remember that this discussion started because of Rush's unthinking use of the term unfettered concerning capitalism.
