The pope is Karl Marx in a papal outfit

"The pope is demanding the redistribution of wealth yet again," Dr. Savage said to his audience, adding:

This is the same pope who came from a socialist/Marxist era in his own country.

Now he's lashing out at those of us who work for a living.

In other words, once again, he's talking about "solidarity with the poor."

I have a suggestion, Mr. Pope: I am offering $1 million right now as an opening bid on the Sistine Chapel ceiling.

I'm pretty sure the sultan of Brunei will top my bid.

That way they could redistribute the wealth that begins in the Vatican itself.

I already pay 39 percent federal tax and 13 percent state tax, but that's not enough for the pope or Obama or the other Marxists on the planet.

Have you ever wondered how wealthy the Catholic Church really is?

The Vatican has billions in shares in the most powerful international corporations.

They also own great real estate. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's all worth billions of dollars.

It could be sold and redistributed to the poor of the world.

Pope Francis should stick to doctrine, stay away from economic 'redistribution'

By John Moody

Published May 09, 2014

Pope Francis has spent a year on the Throne of Peter. In that time, his modest style and high-minded ideals have ignited a new optimism and fervor among Roman Catholics, including those who left because of disagreements with some of its teachings.

Francis has gone out of his way to voice support for the world’s poorest citizens, rightly noting that their plight is too often ignored or brushed aside. Until this week, his statements have called for voluntary action by wealthier countries and individuals as the right way to relieve economic inequality. He appealed to our better selves, and in so doing, made us all ask if we could be kinder and more generous. The answer, of course, is yes.

On Friday, however, Francis chose a meeting with – of all people -- officials of the United Nations to endorse what he called “the legitimate redistribution of economic benefits by the state, as well as indispensable cooperation between the private sector and civil society.”

By appearing to sanction what amounts to forced redistribution, Francis grievously exceeded his authority and became what amounts to a robe-wearing politician.
