A Marxist Pope?


Pope Francis, discussing the world’s economy, said, “In this system, which tends to devour everything which stands in the way of increased profits, whatever is fragile, like the environment, is defenseless before the interests of a deified market, which becomes the only rule.”

He went on to say, “Inequality eventually engenders a violence which recourse to arms cannot and never will be able to solve.”

Rush Limbaugh called this “pure Marxism.”   When told that people were calling him a Marxist, the Pope replied that he wasn’t a Marxist, but he knew many fine people who were.

I love this Pope.
