In a far-ranging 50,000 word statement released by Pope Francis on Tuesday, he illustrated that he is sympathetic to the tenets of liberation theology and hostile to capitalism.

I’ve read what it really says. I’ve posted the link. At some point you need to face the truth - the new Pope has the intellect of the family dog. He says and writes whatever makes him feel good with no thought to outside consequences. Given that, I expect Obama to appoint him to the Supreme Court...
“ideologies which defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation”
Central banksters, central autocrats, central authoritarians, and central planners have all -— steeped in a religious-like belief in their own egos -— been in the way of the marketplace.
If anything, the same upper class of Super Egos have been involved up to their necks, in financial speculations.
Granted, some regulation of the marketplace, which regulation ensures fair play and maintains the rules of the game, is necessary, but it is simply not true, that the marketplace is working in high finance and/or on Wall St. or in the financial capitals of the world.
Economics de Keynes, has some chance of working, ONLY IF all those Super Egos in charge, are NOT obstructing the marketplace.
Yet, especially in the United States, the Super Egos’ politics and socialist agenda, so grossly inhibits the marketplace, that the Federal Reserve is keeping afloat all apearances of there being some “stock market.”
Granted, that it is grotesque, that the worldly upper class -— and that includes the high and mighty diplomats de religions -— cannot observe and reflect upon their *having* incomes that are *THOUSANDS* of times the incomes of people who work for a living (as distinguished from those who pluck money from The Tree of Government Entitlements) ... but the answer is NOT to make a BIGGER TREE OF GOVERNMENT ENTITLEMENTS.
The answers are:
1) get out of the way of the marketplace
2) rebuke the lack of generosity of the most high *who are not generous* -AND- be sure that you know they are not generous.
Yes, you can make an argument that there are too many of the most high, who fail to invest their good fortune in the foundations of their, and all our, liberty.
But you cannot justify blaming the marketplace, because *the marketplace is not working, the further up the ladder of marketplaces ... one goes.* BECAUSE, the further up you go, the more you encounter THE MOST HIGH Super Egos who believe in THEIR having control over you and your opportunities.
I will trust Breitbart’s interpretation before I would ever trust a Catholic’s interpretation.
Sorry, but the facts of history stands against the catholic church, but not against Breitbart.
We should all consider ourselves stewards of the gifts that God has bestowed upon us. Capitalism - the VOLUNTARY trade of goods and services - has shown to be the best way - certainly not a perfect way, but the best way - to do just that. And when combined with real, NOT GOVERNMENT FORCED charity - once again, with goods, services, or even funds - for those cases it doesn't work, it's a very good system indeed.
Francis has just shown himself capable of horrible calumny against those who have done economically well. I will pray for him, even though he is in no way MY leader anymore.
Breitbart hasn’t been around long enough for history to form an opinion of him.
Let’s wait 2,000 years for history’s opinion of Breitbart. Well, we won’t be around then, so let’s wait 25 years.... to see if anyone still remembers it.
Why “have to let the dust settle”, because a pope said it? Would we “let the dust settle” for anyone else? Would Freepers actually be dissing a Breitbart writer for anything else?...There are NO liberal Breitbart writers. There are Protestant and Jewish Breitbart writers, Salvaton. All of them good. So what is your point? That Protestants are liberal or that Protestants don’t like a liberal pope? (The answer is #2 if you don’t get it.)
Many good posts on this thread, but I can read it for myself without the lamestream media’s interpretation, as I’m sure we all can
ladyjane has it down: “He should go into the Vatican library and read about the olden days when the Church and royalty controlled 99% of the wealth while the peasants starved and the heretics were burned at the stake.”
Over 1000 years of Inquisitions, or what we call the Dark Ages. You want them back?
Me too.
:-) You are so right. I wonder if Obummer is considering a title of “Caliph/Pope” for himself now.
-— Over 1000 years of Inquisitions, or what we call the Dark Ages -—
Monty Python is funny, but not a good source for the truth about Christian history.
The dark ages followed the collapse of the Roman empire and the invasion of Europe by barbarians.
The Middle Ages represented the height of Christian culture, with the advent of hospitals and universities, Scholastic philosophy (the synthesis of Aristotelianism and Christian theology) and the greatest art and architecture in human history.
However, it is true that the iPhone and McDonald’s were yet to be invented.
As far as the Spanish Inquisition goes, you might want to check out the 1994 BBC documentary entitled, “The Myth of the Spanish Inquisition.”
**There are NO liberal Breitbart writers. **
And exactly how do you know this?
No wonder conservatives have been leaving the Church in droves.

Where?
For anyone who cares to know the truth, Pope Francis is dead set AGAINST liberation theology.
>> Protestants don’t like a liberal pope
For some, the liberal qualifier is redundant. So why did you bother mentioning it?
Francis=====Pretender.......Francis=====Quack
The Roman Catholic Church is a racket!
Jesus
Poor Catholic faithful
My condolences
Liberation theology was a creation of Russian disinformation—intended to bring down free markets and the Catholic church. What the world doesn’t need is a pope spreading the gospel of Latin American politics.
Already we’ve got the GOPe spreading it here via amnesty.
Some freeper Catholic rationalization of Francis progressive polemics=blacks think Obama is incapable of not being supported regardless
Here ya go: in English, from the Vatican.
Paling in is always right. It’s really an amazing record that she has.
