Pope Francis Rips Capitalism, American Immigration Policy at Mexican Border

Pope Francis, apparently desperate to reach out to the Catholic Church’s growing base in Latin America, spent the day slapping Americans in the face from across the US-Mexico border.

In Ciudad Juarez, one of the most violent cities in the Western Hemisphere thanks to the drug cartels, the pope walked up a ramp covered in flowers toward a cross “erected… in memory of migrants who have perished trying to reach the United States just a stone’s throw away,” according to Reuters.

Funny, he never did that while visiting Cuba to pay tribute to those who died attempting to escape that Communist hellhole. He reserved his spite for a nation with one of the most generous immigration policies on the planet.

The pope then blessed three more small crosses, at which “shoes of migrants who died” were laid. “We cannot deny the humanitarian crisis,” Pope Francis intoned. “Each step, a journey laden with grave injustices: the enslaved, the imprisoned and extorted; so many of these brothers and sisters of ours are the consequence of trafficking in human beings…Injustice is radicalized in the young; they are ‘cannon fodder,’ persecuted and threatened when they try to flee the spiral of violence and the hell of drugs. Then there are the many women unjustly robbed of their lives.”

He concluded, “Let us together ask our God for the gift of conversion, the gift of tears, let us ask him to give us open hearts like the Ninevites, open to his call heard in the suffering faces of countless men and women. No more death! No more exploitation!

This came shortly after the pope said that capitalism cut against God, and that God would punish “slave drivers of our days” supposedly exploiting workers, adding, “The flow of capital cannot decide the flow of people.”

I pay no attention to this pope-and I’m Catholic-even the parish priest out here thinks Francis has been corrupted by communist doctrine...

The Church-any church-does not belong in politics.

An exhumed JPII propped upright in the chair would do a better job.

Will the Pope now endorse Bernie?

The Pope does not understand the difference between a nun who might be raped, and a woman who is voluntarily engaging in intercourse. If the nun takes the Pill, as a precaution, she is not practicing “contraception.”

So am I Lutheran. But this guy is insidious and destructive and has a lot of influence in the world. Many Catholics don’t believe him on social issues but many still do.

[ZULU]

Too bad his mother didn’t practise it.

[ZULU]

He needs to be impeached. Bring back his predecessor.

Remember, he’s only known Argentinian socialism his whole life. Capitalism is a foreign disease to Argentina.

[corlorde]

Someone should ask the Pope if capitalism is so bad and socialism is so wonderful, why aren't the “migrants” returning to their socialist paradises on their own?

[mongrel]

The irony is that people want to come in because of capitalism.

Speaking as someone who got thrown out of the Catholic Church be the Monsignor there when I was there to Marry a Catholic Girl. It required an interview, and I asked some questions about, some of the history of the Church. I did not have enough respect of the Poope. “out of my Church!”.

I said OK.

They also got lots of...no tons of NAZI & FACIST tyrants from Germany & Italy living in Argentina...and......the Pope is just the right age to have close pals with many of them or their, now existing families!!! And....what about th lost boys & sons of Buenos Aires, who were arrested from their families, taken away and were never seen or heard from again. The greiving Moms, Grannies and lovd ones marched around the monuments in Buenos Aires...crying for their lost men. Where was the Pope then!!!

Pope Francis...take a hike back to Rome, and stay out of American politics. God Bless Donald J. Trump!!! I am a life long devout Roman Catholic...and I say this lunatic, socialist Pope needs to put in his place...like right now!!! GO Donald J. Trump!!! South Carolina voters...vote for DJT this Saturday...and show this lightweight, socialist, bigot Pope who the boss is!!!

[Stepan12]

While I am not Christian, I still don’t like it. Pope BenedictXVI did not die. There was no good reason to replace him.

Karl Marx HATED religion.
He thought it was the realm of stupid people.

How funny that the Catholic Pope is a huge Marxist eh?

But such is life in Obamaland. :)
