Well, Pope, were it not for capitalism, how would you feed the poor?

By the way I think I read somewhere that conservatives are far more charitable than liberals. Please correct me if I’m wrong I can’t remember where I read it.

We’ve come a long way since John Paul II.

I wouldn't be surprised if that Pope says that Water is Dry, and that the Earth rotates from West to East.

He is a tool of Satan.

The Bible says hypocrisy is a sin.

Michael Moore practices capitalism but preaches socialism.

If Moore and the other millionaire and billionaire liberals want to redistribute the wealth, they should start with their own.

It seems that the pope and the Apostle Paul differ on this. I seem to remember Paul saying “If they don’t work, they should not eat” about some Christians who had become drones in the Christian community because they had decided they didn’t need to work because Jesus was coming back soon anyway.

Then Moore should be going straight to hell... Thanks to capitalism he has made millions. If he lived in China he would have made the same documentaries and receive an extra bowl of rice once a week.

The Pope should have warned him about another sin... Gluttony.

So Fat Boy. When are you going to give away all your money, sell your mansion and move into a shack?

Creepy liberal hypocrites don't think in those terms... they want to redistribute YOUR wealth.

Not theirs.

Same with their feelings on illegals - NOT ONE of Michael Moore's mansions is in a racially balanced area - he's always buys or builds in 96%+ White Neighborhoods. Moore does this while fighting for the United States to become a 'brown country'... Says he 'can't wait until the United States is majority brown...

Why?

Because Micheal Moore's wealth feels larger as other citizens become poorer, less free, and live in neighborhoods without social cohesion...

He and his fellow 'elite liberal billionaires' are morally compromised - blinded to who they really are... THEY need to live the choices they want to inflict on us: how many commie counties allow freedom?

NONE.

White People make up 8% of the world's population... Why is our ethnic group targeted for extinction by people like Micheal Moore? Aren't the 'people of color' satisfied with 92% of the world's population? And almost a 100% of the world's totalitarian hellholes?

Look into your soul Michael Moore... can you justify the misery you'll cause by your 'best of intentions' when you know what socialism really leads to?

You ignore your Pope? I guess that’s like us ignoring President Bush back when.

Heck, I have heard the same thing on FR back in the day.

The Catholic economic program is a socialism called Distributism. You are assigned what you can produce so as to limit competition and protect small holders. Of course, the fly in the ointment is that it takes an all power body that can decide “You have to much! YOU MUST GIVE IT AWAY!”

Chesterton and Belloc both loved it, and in South America it is a big reason for the social gospel

That is correct.

However, the view is (as I have been explained) a great power need to forcibly take the wealth from one group to give to another less advantaged one, because there is not enough charity to fill the need.

So the goal is to be on the board that gets to decide who pays and who receives, and what cut to take.

Matthew 26:7-11 King James Version (KJV)

7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.

8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.

Taht’s because Francis is a Communist.

Ask the Pope if “class envy” and coveting your neighbor’s wealth is a sin seeing as it violates the 10 Commandments.
