Huff Post ^ | November 19, 2018 | Mary Papenfuss

Pontiff slams “wealthy few who feast on what belongs to us all.”

Pope Francis warned Sunday in his weekly sermon that calls for help from the poor are growing stronger — yet they continue to be ignored as the wealthy grab more resources that belong to everyone.

From Huff Post, so limited to 100 word excerpt.

Started to post this under religion, but this story has much to do with economics, politics and the coming NWO.

Pope says: "All your money and children belongs to us."

Hint: Notice the lighter shading.

That's sound like the Vatican.

Maybe if you stopped pushing Socialism, Franny, the poor might have a chance.

Then I take it the Pope will be summoning the likes of Robert DiNero, Leonardo DICaprio, Barbara Streisand, Meryl Streep, and the rest of the ‘holier-than-thous in Hollywood to give them a good scolding for failing to share their ill gotten wealth, right?

Right?

Funny how nobody ever fingers people like Warren Buffet or Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos or any of the hundreds of very well off media darlings.

It’s always the struggling middle class and upper lower class that is called upon to sacrifice more.

This Pope is a communist and he’s also a charter member of “The Rich” whom he just denounced. Next he’ll be damning those who protect pedophiles and gropers, just like he’s been doing. Its called “projection” - Stalin used to do it all the time, accuse someone or some group of something he had done and shift the focus away from you to them. I guess the Pope is unaware that international org figures show that more than half the world is now middle class by almost any standard and it reflects the adoption of market economies in most of the globe. Oh, for the days of Popes John Paul and Benedict.

“Resources that belong to us all.” IOW, from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.

Fran is getting in touch with his inner Marx again.

Obviously Frank wouldn’t mind if we started taxing the Church, you know, to help the poor.

I am a Catholic and very much resent my Pope poking his nose where it doesn’t belong.

It is the Pope’s job to spread the word of Christ, not to spread the word of Marx.

My wife’s family have been catholic for generations. This fool Pope has driven them away from the church.

Way to go you damn commie gay fool.

how about this Pope “lamenting” the lack of institutional redress for pedophile priests and bishops or the support for whistle blowers, like Vigano? Maybe that would be a better issue to take up for this poor excuse of a Pope.

What exactly would a "Victory for the Poor" look like?
The rich made poor or the poor becoming rich?
