The Reverend Wright and now the Wright Reverend? I hope not.
This Pope can’t even get the Commandment right, if that is in fact what he said.
Good for Rush. Sorry to my roman friends. This roman jesuit should be called out for what he is.
I don't think it's Marxism. It's feudalism.
The glory days of the Church were the 13th century. That's the model this pope is invoking -- no capitalism, no individual initiative for profit, everything (theoretically) for the good of the social order as defined by the Church.
No one "got to him", nor did anyone need write this nonsense for him. Pope Francis is an economic socialist. Period. Just because he wasn't an outright liberation theology Marxist doesn't mean he had a pro-free market belief system. Pope Francis has ALWAYS been an leftist on economic matters. His record on these issues is very clear. And Rush is right in condemning this crap. Pressure needs to put on the Vatican to reign this Pope in before he does real damage in this world and sets back free market movements all over the earth.
This radio shouter Rush, if that is his real name, ought to spend a few hours studying Marxism before making a fool of himself to everyone except his mindless ditty heads!
Cathedrals were funded by peasants, labor and $. Years to build. Can’t pay for upkeep today.
Don't know yet that the Pope smokes dope, either.
Time will tell.
Lighten up, Francis...
My Pope is and always will be Pope John Paul II.
That is all.
With all due respect, I’ve thought this Pope is a total bone head. Although not a Catholic, I’ve always looked up to the Pope as a moral leader in the world. I’ve lost immeasurable respect for the Pope/Vatican, along with the majority of protestant churches in America. I cut all ties with my last church when they tried to teach my 12 year old son that God was just a likely to be a female as a male. He’s 23 now and the churches are even more distant from the Bible.

It’s amazing to me that as soon as the Pope talks money, Rush Limbaugh sits up and takes notice. The Pope can have whatever opinion he wants on the economy. He isn’t an economist and doesn’t set economic policies or enact economic laws. He is wrong on this, but what can he do about it? Obama surely isn’t going to listen to the Pope. He got rid of the Vatican embassy in Washington. The socialist leaders in this world do not usually have much reverence for the Pope.
I listend to the two segments Limbaugh devoted to the Popes statements. Rush concluded his comments after some banterting with his staff who were indicating the translation he was commenting on may be questioned where he left it at that.
“criticizing unfettered capitalism, saying, This is just pure Marxism coming out of the mouth of the pope.
Limbaugh wants UNFETTERED capitalism? The kind that has turned China into a gigantic sewer of poisoned lakes and rivers and where people have to walk around with face masks and eye protection because the air is so poisoned and filthy? Where people have to eat food (animal and plant) that is poisoned with God only knows how many chemicals? No thanks.
Rush may not be 100% right but it seems the pope might find better things to do. I don’t believe his job description includes economist.
Capitalism is not evil. It causes an efficient production of goods and services. The evil comes from selfishness, materialism, consumerism. Ebenezer Scrooge’s sin was not in creating wealth but in valuing material things more than people.
Liberals can claim no moral superiority over Scrooge because they eagerly throw babies in he trash to “reduce the surplus population.”
Sounds like Rush has been reading too many Chick tracts and listening to too many Tony Alamo podcasts. Sad.
