Pope Francis was at it again, offering up a confused "narrative" about illegal immigration in his bid to hector Western nations seeking to control their lawless borders through the construction of border walls. This time, his Marxist analysis of things got in the way of his theologically-charged argument, making him look like a V.S. Naipaul-style third-world boob. With a hat tip to the Daily Caller, get a load of this interview he gave to a Spanish journalist, blasting the West´ for building walls against human surges of unvetted illegal immigrants,

So the Pope blames capitalism for the surge of people looking to come to the US??
Then this would put forth the theory that liberals really are trying to help Trump end illegal migration by doing their best to end the successes of the United States. In effect, the left would have us look more like Venezuela so migration here wouldn´t look as attractive to the illegals. Those liberals are so much smarter than all of us.

OK - - I get it - - now I get it.
The rest of the world is flocking to capitalist countries just to prove how evil capitalism is.
Gee - - why couldn´t I think of that?

FTA:
"Francis said “in general” capitalism provokes the situations of poverty that drive people to flee, because “fewer and fewer reach people with a lot of money and there are more poor people with very little money.”
You mean by being the successful the land of opportunity we have "provoked" poor people into leaving failed collective and oppressive states? I think you inhaled some bad incense, get that checked out.

This Papa is misguided.
Silly me. He is the leader of an organization that says he is infallible. Of course he supports tyranny. Anything that walks on two legs and takes a whiz is fallible. There is no human that is not.
The Catholic Church has painted itself into a corner. The Faith is what matters. The words of Jesus to Peter were not about the world but about the Kingdom (all creation, not just the world). The idea that any could inherit that mantle is, well, it is wrong. I come from a church that recognizes only elders and deacons. The Elders are the last word in the church NOT the minister. So...2 cents right here. Not that it matters. We only read scripture and try to do the right thing. Administration of a huge organization is peril and the politics enter into it and therefore corruption and the Old Worm are back in the pews.Worry about your own house and things will fall into place.
So we have the Protestant split.

Could someone in the Vatican suggest to this commie that he needs to go! BTW, two living popes is always a bad omen.

That Pope needs to understand there should be no mixing of politics and religion. It goes both ways, you know. This is how governments end up banning certain religions- when they try to take over the state´s business. This is one crazy Pope. No wonder some people hope the predictions of St. Malachy comes true!
For Latin speakers (Ahem!- you Priests out there): "Prophetia Sancti Malachiae Archiepiscopi, de Summis Pontificibus"

The Pope is not misguided. He knows exactly what he´s saying because he believes it. Why? Because he´s NOT a man of God but a lying imposter using his position to advance his political goals. There´s a hideous place in hell for this guy.

Marxism tries to imitate the ethics of Christianity and that is why they look alike. And always will. You have cause and effect mixed up - the origin and the imitators. Don´t overinterpret similarities. And it is not his job to stand up for capitalism. He is trying to save every soul on earth including Maduro´s. Maduro having been baptized, the Pope has to care about it if Maduro sets off for hell as he has done. I do not know a braver figure on the world stage than the Pope.

Infallable my ass! Hard to believe that this man is infallable in matters of faith and morals when he is SO WRONG in matters of economics and political theory. Basically, he is saying that Capitalism works so well that it attracts people from autocratically ruled countries, third world dictatorships, and communist ruled countries. These successful capitalist countries should damage themselves by opening their borders. I guess it is the 21st century way to do what the old communist block did. That is, share the misery while it increases.

Is Pope Commie I the Anti-Christ? I don´t think he rates that status. He´s more of a run-of-the-mill libtard.

The new President of Italy likes Trump and is following what Trump is doing. He is not excepting anymore migrants and may deport the ones that are in parts of Italy. When he does deport stick the Pope on that boat and send him off with them.

Pope Frank. There he goes again. Flapping his lips. Best of the best when: he expressed interest in recognizing the church in China. All other true Catholics having Mass in fields and homes. Or his blurb about changing the wording in the Our Father. Always flapping. I´m Catholic. Guess I could get into a lot of trouble for disliking him so much/

I work with a lot of Catholics in the pro-life movement. None of them can stand this Pope, and believe he is doing a lot of damage to their church and Christianity as a whole!!!
Their only hope is that he will die soon, and an actual Catholic will be chosen to replace him!!!!!
I feel their pain!!!!!

Seems like he should consider immigration closer to home. As in immigrants turned away in his own country.
Apologies to Catholics but when Obola beat a path to visit the Pope soon as he moved into the Vatican, I became suspicious. Same payroll.

I long for the days when "Is the Pope Catholic?" was a joke question.
And just skip the infallible stuff. That only applies to very specific situations.
He is a dead loss.

i guess the pedophilia issue has been solved so he can now turn his attention to this. my intellectual curiosity just plain forces me to ask: "why do catholics put up with this?".
