Pope Francis, in a meeting with Argentinian socialist Fernando Solanas, quotes Zhou Enlai from memory. Enlai was the first communist Premiere of China under Mao Zedong.

Is it me, or does this pope qualify as an Anti-Pope?

Wow. He is a real 60’s leftist.

Please excuse me for commenting on a CC thread when I am not Catholic.

This issue has broader implications than just Catholicism and I appreciate these threads and think they should be in Politics/Current events.

Bergoglio hates the Catholic Church.

Love himself some communists, he does.

Prayers up for China’s Catholics.

If this goes ahead, it will clearly show how much Francis values the incalculable sufferings of the many bishops, priests and faithful who have heroically resisted the government's efforts to control Catholicism and remained faithful to the underground Church, despite imprisonment, hard labor and various other forms of persecution.

Francis will be telling them loud and clear that, in his opinion, it was all for nothing and that they were fools who suffered needlessly.
