Communist ideology rots every culture and individual that absorbs it...il Papa is no exception.

Yep. The Pope is Catholic only insofar as it doesn't conflict with Marxist dogma. And the points of agreement between the two (mainly hierarchical structure) are very narrow indeed.

The commies really were not friends of the environment, minorities, or the LGBT crowd that Francis is celebrating. They certainly weren't ecumenical in tolerating alternative views.

Most of the nonsense that Francis is on board with is associated with the Critical Theory that came out of the Frankfurt School. They were Marxists, but they had seen that the political and economic tacks they had taken weren't getting the outcomes they intended.

So they decided to focus on the culture and social structure. At that point did they cease to be Marxists? I don't believe that they all secretly agreed to advance their philosophies just to undermine the morale of the West. I think they really believed the nonsense they were spouting was generally good for the West. I think Francis agrees with them.

It's much more complicated then just Marxism. The gay mafia, the actual mafia, the Freemasons, and the Soviet Union have always been trying to undermine the Church from the outside and inside. It's a miracle that there still is something resembling the Church still standing.

That is very good. Is that yours?

“Communist ideology rots every culture and individual that absorbs it...il Papa is no exception.”

How could it be otherwise? All leftist thought, from the limousine liberalism of a Sean Penn to the murderous horrors of Mao, Stalin, and Pol Pot, is of and from Satan.
