Pope Francis is just another liberal political pundit
NY Post ^ | 25 September | John Podhoretz

Posted on 09/26/2015 8:08:16 AM PDT by oh8eleven

Pope Francis is unquestionably a man of ­uncommon personal grace, the possessor of a genuinely beautiful soul.

But that’s not exactly the guy who showed up Friday at the United Nations. That pope endorsed the Iran deal, the UN’s environmentalist goals and what amounts to a worldwide open-borders policy on refugees — and ­offered a very specific view of how to promote development in the Third World that’s straight out of a left-wing textbook.

The Pope needs to visit Venezuela after the US so he can extol the virtues of his beloved share the misery socialism while he stands in front of empty shelves. Maybe he can redirect those “dung of the devil” monetary donations from capitalist countries to Catholic Charities and ship those socialist folks down there some toilet paper.In short,the Pope needs to steer his popemobile back into the spiritual lane and get back to saving souls and leave management of the real world to those of us who necessarily have to contend with the way it is. Not the way he, as an occasional visitor to the real world, wishes it to be.

Yes, it will be the preferred means of executing those who refuse to take the mark of the beast and to worship him. I have heard some good preachers/teachers note that all those who will refuse the mark will not necessarily be followers of Christ-some Muslims, Jews, others, will refuse for their own reasons. But not many of any group will refuse it.

I like Popes who support trickle up wealth as opposed to trickle down poverty. This Pope is as ideological as Obama and just as left wing stupid. The world will rue both their leaderships and the poor will suffer the most. Shame on the Pope for promoting poverty and hardship. In this day and age, with all the world’s historical knowledge at ones fingertips it is inexcusable to be left wing.

What a contrast, and not a good one, to John Paul II and Benedict, two wonderful leaders of the Church and in the world.

No he isn’t. He is way more influential, and thus dangerous.

I don’t like this Pope. There was a story this week that his politics have been applied in Argentina and resulted in turning his home country from a first world country to a third world country. He wants to try these policies everywhere.

Classic lib doublethink; the Pope’s wisdom is correct on climate change and income inequality, but immoral and hateful on gays, gay marriage and abortion. As usual, they want it both ways.

I’ll repeat myself; The Pope prates of Jesus but means Marx.

They actually weren’t his policies, but he simply adopted the populist socialist policies that have reduced Argentina to 3rd World status.

What he said was clear, his “human life” failed. You’d have to be an idiot to misstate his meaning.

Please explain this then.

The Pope lost me when he started jabbering about global warming. He said very little about abortion and nothing about same sex marriage. Yet he comes here and criticizes us for the way the Indians were treated and blasts capitalism, which has kept the Catholic Church and the Vatican alive all these years. The only info he gets about the US is from the commie propaganda rags. NY Slimes and WAPO.

Fact is: Over 70% of the American people could care less about the Obamabot/Communist/Anti-American/Socialist Pope visiting the USA!!! The Obamabot & mainstream media plays the Pope up....but the truth be known, he is garnering less viewers to the Cable News Networks, then an average, regular night would generate.

For goodness sake the Pope in his most joyous glory, hobnobbed with an unending vigor with tyrants, dictators and murderers.....Raoul & Fidle Castro in Cuba!!! I shall let him be, and allow him to bask in all his false glory and recognition.....but , I can safely assure you, the second he boards his aircraft back to Rome and is airborne on his trip home....he will be fogotten in the USA, as the bad habit for humanity he is!!! He is little more than a wolve dressed in sheep’s clothing, exactly what out POTUS Obama is!!! Beware world....this man is either a false leader of the Catholic Church, or the biggest fool in the universe!!!
