You put Pope Francis in the same category as Marx which to me is funny and just stupid.

Take it up with Huffpo/AP

Pope Francis Calls For 'Legitimate Redistribution' Of Wealth To The Poor


quote:

Pope Francis called Friday for governments to redistribute wealth to the poor in a new spirit of generosity to help curb the "economy of exclusion" that is taking hold today.


quote:

He said a more equal form of economic progress can be had through "the legitimate redistribution of economic benefits by the state, as well as indispensable cooperation between the private sector and civil society."

1) you take things way out of context, including what past popes have said. You have to understand that tradition is important in the Church. You can't look at what Pope Francis said without understanding what previous popes and councils have said.
2) It's pretty obvious you and the Pope disagree with many things,but I think you are being to extreme to call him the same as Marx, by a few out of context comments made by the Pope.
3) The Church which the Pope represents is far from socialist and has condemned it. Unless Francis goes against the Churches tradition at-least in the last 100 years, he will never even come close to socialism.

IF we are to put the Church in an economic category the best would probably be distributism which is not socialism.
