Like Islam, the Roman church opposes usury.

Capitalism allows and even promotes the rental of money. Capitalism is there fore bad

“Decent Catholics ignore him.Even semi-decent Catholics like myself ignore him.That just leaves the Kennedys and Bella Pelosi who listen to him.

But he is the leader of your church! So how can you sit by and watch him degrade it with his behavior? You deserve better.

Totally believable. And the irony of who is doing the confiding and whom he is confiding to is unbelievably rich.

That’s why there was a Protestant Reformation.

When one half wit seeks wisdom from another half wit the result is 1/4 wisdom.

It's hard to explain but,IMO,Catholics...Christians,in fact...don't really need a "leader" on this earth.No Pope...no Christian...can degrade Christ's teachings.The worst they can do is intentionally,or unintentionally,misinterpret them.

“Controversial filmmaker Michael Moore claims Pope Francis told him ‘capitalism is a sin’ and the ‘poor must always come first’ at a recent meeting in the Vatican City”

...

Without wealth there is no charity.

Capitalism is the greatest creator of wealth known.

The SJWs will never acknowledge that capitalism is what lifts people out of poverty. We conservatives need to teach that to our kids.

I was trying to teach my son that, but he decided he wanted to be a USAF Officer. Is that good enough? 👍😁✈️

Yeah, and those institutions are now as deep in on “social justice” and the immigrant/refugee scam (ka-ching!) as is “The Church”.

The 1st commandment comes to mind in regard to this Pope

“Thou shalt have no other gods before me”

Moore is thinking of that famous Bible verse where Jesus told the disciples to buy swords to take money from the rich and give a few pennies to the poor, keeping most of it for themselves. Or, socialism by another name. Because only after being robbed by the government could a rich man go to heaven, or something.

I’m sure this made a big impression on Moore.

Did the Pope also mention that gluttony is a sin?

Pope Francis apparently told US filmmaker Michael Moore that capitalism is a sin and that the ‘poor must always come first’ when they met recently in the Vatican City.

What commie country is NOT a totalitarian hellhole? Name one you Creepy Porn Pope...

Capitalism produces EVERYTHING socialists/communists/snowflakes wish to “redistribute.”

The minute they succeed in snuffing out capitalism is the minute they start to run out of things to “redistribute.”

Case in point: Venezuela.
