New Pope Is A Commie

[Sallow]

What a disappointment. He clearly does not understand the lessons of Christ, the most important being that people have the free will to do good or not. It is not the place of government to take from Peter to give to Paul.

This Pope does not understand the concept of charity.

That's a new one.

I know a little bit about the doctrine and never heard that one.

Can you point it out? I mean chapter and verse?

 

[Sallow]

A commie, is a commie, is a commie. He advocated theft on an industrial scale.

Keep on mind that the Pope is not overly concerned with Americas poor who have HDTV, Internet and Foodstamps

The pope has seen the worldwide poor firsthand. People who wake up wondering if their kids will eat that day, who fight disease and a hostile climate. He advocates not just that governments get involved, but industry and a billion Catholics

For this, Conservatives feel threatened and they go back to their old standby from years ago.......Commie, Commie, Commie

The bottom line is that the Pope advocated organized plunder. He's a commie.

Everyone who pays taxes is threatened by what the Pope said. He's no better than a thug, just like you.

Catholics are thug commies?

Hmm..

Radical notion. Might get you into trouble.

If it cost 30 million to run the business 20 million would mean I'd have to close up shop and kick workers out on the street.

Corporate assets are separate from personal assets. (See, you've learned something already.) You could own and operate a fifty billion dollar corporation but your personal assets may not exceed twenty million. And if you get caught "mingling" funds it could mean twenty years in Leavenworth.

What law are you talking about? How can one invest in their business(es) then?

But the main point is that it isn't your money to decide. You are in no position to define what greed is for someone else. You may be the pope but you aren't God.

You should tell that to the IRS and learn what they have to say about it.

So be happy with your twenty million dollars. If you need a little psychotherapy to deal with losing your fifty billion dollar fortune you'll soon adjust.

Which law/country/planet are you referring to?

[Iceweasel;9075358]You are full of it. The founder WERE rich. They were the one percenters. They set up a system where many could prosper. And many have. Suddenly, we have economic geniuses telling us history didn't happen the way it did and we have to share to make things right.

Yes. They were rich. And having twenty million in personal assets is rich, too! But there is a difference between wealth and excessive wealth. The Founders had no way of anticipating the kind of wealth it would be possible to accumulate in the intricate society they were laying the groundwork for.

Again, if they could have seen the future you are assured they would have provided a measure of control to avoid the kind of raw power excess wealth would afford. Or do you believe they would have been tolerant of the idea that America would be turning into an oligarchy -- which is happening today?

Think!

I can't think like you. I don't do drugs.

If the pope and the church really want to help the poor they should give a few million of them jobs.

The church is certainly rich enough to afford it.

But then again the church was never about redistributing its own wealth

Is it possible that religious people are communists? I mean since most Americans are labeled as commies except for a few Republicans, it stands to reason that many of them preach charity; I'm beginning to have my suspicions. Too bad McCarthy isn't still here, but then he was a Catholic, well so is the Pope so do we need any more evidence? "I have here in my hand a paper with...."

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Remember when Jesus told the Jews only the Romans could take care of them because they had the gold?

It's hard to follow your thoughts but there are actual communists here, there is a active party. Most libs would fall into the 'leaning towards socialism' to 'give us all you got' philosophy. They aren't commies because they want to hang onto some of their stuff.

I'm taking my family to Italy in a few weeks. We are going to the Vatican. I was there 20+ years ago, and I have not seen a more spectacular building since. Everything is an amazing piece of art.

Bripat thinks Sweden is a fascist welfare state.

You don't really need to know much more than that.

No, moron, just the Pope.

 

[1776]

The Roman Catholic church is very socialistic.....they have leaders that get money funneled back to them in Vatican City where the Pope and his underlings live lavish lifestyles, while telling the masses to keep giving them money.

Also, the Catholic church pushes the socialist agenda of making sure everyone gets the equal share of what is produced, it is immoral if you want more than your neighbor through harder work.

You see the Catholic church in this country supporting Amnesty for millions of Hispanics because they put their money making machine in the church over the stability and safety of the USA.

No they don't.

Where do you read this shit?

 

[1776]

Uh, the Catholic church has been pushing for social and economic equality for centuries.

Many priests in Central America were caught collaborating with socialist goons on taking over capitalist countries.

Yeah, and da Joos control the media, the global financial system and the British monarchy.

Liberation Theology isn't the primary ideology of the Catholic Church.

You should read more.

 

[1776]

Uh dumbfuck...I am not a losertarian, I'm a Christian that knows the Catholic church is a criminal enterprise and a cult.

We get it, you're Catholic....must be proud of all the pedophiles inside your church and protected by the machine in Vatican city.

Most people, including most American Catholics, have little or no idea about the Church's social teaching. The is complicated by the fact that since Pio Nono 1846-1848 until the current pope, the Church's politics and foreign policy differed quite sharply from its traditional theological teaching.

The views of the current pope, the doctrine of the preferential option for the poor, and its political corollary, Liberation Theology, has long pedigree stretching back to St. Thomas Aquinas and, indeed, to the Gospels and Acts.

Church politics has, since the conversion of Constantine has been conditioned by the collaboration with the ruling elite which effects every state religion. The politics and the magisterium (teaching) have always been separate. What the Church believes is often quite different from what the men running the Church do. Frankie is bringing the latter back into harmony with the former. It's about time.

 

[1776]

When the Catholic church invented "purgatory" which was tied to paying money to the Catholic church....that pretty much should sum up the criminal and evil enterprise that rose up out of the Roman Empire.

Gluttony and greed are supposed to be mortal sins

Seems to me the church is guilty of both
