Pope Francis apparently told US filmmaker Michael Moore that capitalism is a sin, but butt diddlin' little boys is OK.

Y’all tickle the shite out of me.....you are like a bunch of 8 year olds in you naivety.
Religion...ALL religions.....across all of time and humanity....have been about keeping an elite few in power and wealth while keeping the masses under thumb. The pope is merely parroting what ALL religion has taught ALWAYS....that being wealthy isn’t something to aspire to because it’s the afterlife that matters......greed is bad, gluttony a sin, camels and the eye of a needle....all religious teaching.....again, all of it....is meant to pass the message that being poor is a virtue and being wealthy is a sin. The pope probably believes that shite because it’s what Christianity teaches, as do all religions. Capitalism is bad because it allows the poor some hope of not being poor IN THIS LIFE......the pope is merely doing his job and ensuring the masses look to heaven for salvation and not capital where it truly lies......

Making the poor come first gives incentive to continue to be poor and just accept handouts bc they know they’ll be okay. I.e welfare rats

The Pope must have forgotten that time when Jesus’ disciples were upset that very expensive oil was used to anoint Him instead of being sold to help the poor and Jesus said that His burial anointing was more important and that we would always have poor among us. The implication is that while helping the poor is good, there are more important things.

And I said, “So you believe capitalism, the capitalism we have now is a sin?” He goes, “Yes, it is.” He said, “The poor must always come first.”‘
In other words, the Pope is saying capitalism which encourages creativity that results in surprise is a sin.
It is NOT a sin when I create a new design of jewelry and try to sell it to the public in order to make a profit and I see the look of surprise on someone's face who tells me they've never seen beautiful designs like my jewelry then buys something from me so I can live by my earnings.
Capitalism is a blessing not a sin.

Pope should be more concerned about this verse
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
To the money question
And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
I look at money, country, work the same way. Don't allow money to be your lord, it is better to be poor and follow Jesus than to be rich and lost.

The Pope ought to pray and ask Himself if God employs merit-based qualifiers to gain entrance to Heaven. Even given that "Faith not works" is an essential factor, individuals who desire Mercy/Charity...MUST profess allegiance to the Principles which perfect their character. Outside of that allegiance...no charity.
Gonna force God to lend charity to everyone, under the guise/Principle of *Equality*? Good luck with that; Heaven...wouldn't be 'Heavely', for too long.
"Behold there is a way that seemeth right unto Man, but the end thereof is destruction".
Live and learn.

.....and nothing (and I do mean nothing) helps a poor person's self-esteem and financial situation better than gainful employment in a decent job. Having said that.....time and again socialism has been proven to be a miserable failure, especially in those countries that are predominantly Catholic.
El Papa, the United States is now at full employment. Employers are even now competing for employees. You really should drop this foolish notion that capitalism is evil. Why do you think all those immigrants are streaming towards our southern border right now?
MAGA!

While he and his kid molesting "brothers" live in silver and gold towers, eat from the finest china, and rape the people of their money. He can go frick himself. Socialist arse.

Not a fan of Pope Francis but I also don’t believe anything that comes out of the mouth of Michael Moore.

How’s he feel about diddling kids and small white dogs?
