“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.
Once a Socialist...
No problem here. We have already been forgiven.
So what’s stopping you from giving your money away Mooreon.
So is gluttony.
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?
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.
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.
He is a tool of Satan.
Two wolves a sheep voting on what’s for dinner.
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.
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?
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
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.
Duh. You can be poor and capitalist at the the same time, morons. You hate success. That is what you hate.
Taht’s because Francis is a Communist.
