Let me get my pencil and paper so I can take notes.
Yep, I know what Jesus taught, but that was 2000 years ago and he could have hardly anticipated the current situation. Even our Constitution got a bill of rights added to it.
Sometimes circumstances require effective resolution beyond peace, brotherhood and turning the other cheek, especially when there can be no peace nor brotherhood with the other party.
Case in point: I caught a video by a young guy in Iran the other day and while being bombed out of existence with missiles flying over his head, he said it was far preferable to the situation people living in Iran faced as it was with the IRGC, and encouraged the military attacks against the mullahs to continue.
I'm not seeing anything in the OP that should make me as outraged as you are.

I'm not the slightest bit outraged. Strike Two.
Post 25 says otherwise.
Can you walk me through what was so bad about this and how it wasn't preaching the gospel?
We hunger for a future imbued with hope that is capable of engendering a new sense of justice and producing fruits of peace and fraternity. This is not an unknown future that we must passively await, but rather one that we ourselves are called to build with God’s grace.
May the Lord help you to become a society in which everyone, each according to their respective responsibilities, works ever more fully to serve the common good rather than private interests, bridging the gap between the privileged and the disadvantaged. May there be greater room for freedom, and may the dignity of the human person always be safeguarded.

But you seemed so upset over those 100,000 innocent unarmed victims that had nothing to do with Leo's comments.
Even if I say pretty please? It's OK, we both know you can't.

- how the pope's have not been socialist speaks volumes about christianity ...
not sure anyone doubts their leanings who are criticizing them - its what other way they believe the pope should be leaning is where the desert dwellers truly go crazy ....
Not really. Helping people in need is not the same thing as making them reliant on charity. Even FDR understood this.
Which way is that?
The Pope speaks for the Prince of Peace, so it’s very much his lane.

If the man in the pointy hat which sits on his throne in Rome really said that then it raises some doubt about his leanings. Seems very socialist to me.
How about putting your money where your mouth is and giving away all that 6B of gold the Vatican is sitting on.
Hey, maybe something got lost in the translation.
Note there's not a single word here about God or Jesus Christ.

Socialism is a logical outgrowth of Christian doctrines and principles. The disciples of Jesus shared their wealth among themselves, as well as to "the poor."
But compulsory socialism cannot work. It can only work in a closed community, where everyone is a voluntary participant (convents, monasteries, communes). The failures of socialist governments are universal and utterly predictable. Christian leaders should understand the difference, and at least take note of the horrific oppression, corruption, and suppression that inevitably follows a country's embrace of socialism.
This Pope has a long history of supporting Leftist dogma and practices, including abortion, turning a blind eye to the moral evil of homosexual sodomy, and even performing gay "marriages."
Is the Pope Catholic? New Pope, same question.
