Pope Francis seems Marxist to me. And he is the reason why I am no longer Catholic.

Taking my stuff and giving to other people is socialism, isn’t it?

If I want to give my stuff to other people, that’s up to me.

I help my neighbor. He’s been out of work for a long time now (2 years?) and has no income. Lost unemployment. When I go to the store, I buy extra and tell him I overbought. I don’t want to make him feel small. This is up to me.

If someone took it from me and gave it to him or anybody else, that would be socialism.

No?

I wish Pope Francis would retire!

You mean to say that Pope Francis is your excuse for abandoning the church founded by Christ. As Catholics, we follow Church teaching, not the pope's comments.
