Great! A world communist pope to go hand in hand with the communist US President!

Oh Please. Pointing out that there are poor people in the world and their situation should improve does not make one a Communist.....he doesn’t get into the “how”.

In fact, one of the most damning aspects of Communism, or big government in general, is that it relieves the individual from taking responsibility for the poverty around them. If I am paying 50% of my wages in taxes, it sure doesn’t leave much left to help the poor, and in fact, big government tends to discourage private charity, because they want to have the monopoly on charity, to enhance their power over the individual.
