WIth all due respect Pope Francis there is evidence that the Vatican was skimming from the Peter's Pence fund so please spare us the lecture on redistribution of income.

The "redistribution" of Socialism and Communism is from the masses to the governmental elites, making the masses poor slaves of the governmental elites.

Les, I have seen this thesis presented before as an explication for some of the incoherence of this papacy. It has much explanatory power. I have not seen any documentation. Have you seen any? please post some links.

A big thing that bankrupted the Vatican was its love of property speculation. It meant every other financial services conman could take them for a ride. A venture in London buying apartments in a gay district would obviously have been intended as a home away from home for the Vatican lewds, but the money last was spectacular. Penna Parra, the Substitute Secretary of State, a lewd character, attacked …More

Penna Parra, the Substitute Secretary of State, a lewd character, attacked this reliance on speculation. Sodomy and drugs aren't for free.

That money was from St.Peter's pence and Caritas Internationalis.
2nd most invested by a Vatican-owned bank is Beretta pistol company.

So they'll shoot all us bad rad trads?

Even after a 2 billion dollar bailout and sellout to the Chinese communists and to the people of China, the Vatican is broke. Lots of bribes and cover ups to pay for I guess.

The sooner he is dead, the better. Who in the Vatican has let him live and go on with his filth?

God gives evil people, including heretics abusing the body of Jesus Christ, time so they can repent. But Bergie doesn't look capable of it.

Since when is "Wealth Redistribution" a Catholic tenet?
Blessed are the wealth redistributionists as they will be called social justice warriors. Not a beatitude.

Don't give El Francesco any moar ideas... he already re-wrote The Lord's Prayer. up next, "Blessed are the vaccine providers..." "Blessed are the illegal immigrants..."
Les Crispi
Well, see, Jesus spoke against love of wealth a couple of times so the communists, which means Christ haters, and that includes Bergoglio, twist it to make Communism "Christian" even as Marx and Lenin had nothing but utter disdain and contempt for Christians.
Ultraviolet
You don't know that "Bergoglio" is a "Christ hater" any more than you know what he thinks. How many times must you be reminded of that?
Jeffrey Ade
So Bergoglio is a Communist? I think we know that by now?
Louis IX
Unpossible as a Communist cannot be a Catholic!

It was already declared a dogma that a heretic cannot be validly elected Pope:
Pope Paul IV, Cum Ex Apostolatus Officio, Feb 15 1559: "Any bishop... prior to his promotion or his elevation as Cardinal, or Roman Pontiff has deviated from the Catholic faith or fallen into some heresy... The promotion or elevation, even if it shall have been uncontested and by the unanimous assent of all the …More

The promotion or elevation, even if it shall have been uncontested and by the unanimous assent of all the cardinals, shall be null, void & worthless. "

Francis was publicly practicing Judaism before his "election", so he could not have been validly elected pope. He denies the existence of Hell, prays with non-Catholics (condemned by Pius XI) amidst countless other heresies - definitely making Francis a heretic according to Catholic teaching: heretics immediately (ipso-facto) lose office according to dogma from Pope St. Celestine I. He also does not profess the true faith, placing him outside the church. One has to be in the church to be elected pope. Therefore, Jorge Bergoglio (Antipope Francis) cannot be the pope.

“Redistribution of wealth” can’t be done through taxation, because wealth doesn’t reside so much possessing money as in possessing the means of making money. This is why putting someone on welfare doesn’t lift them out of poverty. You could say that nationalization of industry is a redistribution, but it, very often, followed by the destruction of the very same wealth that was seized. Increasing …More
“Redistribution of wealth” can’t be done through taxation, because wealth doesn’t reside so much possessing money as in possessing the means of making money. This is why putting someone on welfare doesn’t lift them out of poverty. You could say that nationalization of industry is a redistribution, but it, very often, followed by the destruction of the very same wealth that was seized. Increasing taxes on the producers of wealth discourages the wealthy from producing. Of course, allowing a few corporations and individuals to amass the sort of wealth that gives them the power to influence world affairs on par with sovereign states is bad. The US, for instance, needs a big time return to trust busting. The Vatican, as currently constituted, should shut its piehole.

Well stated John. The hypocricy of leftists never ceases to amaze me.

@Steve D Labor is being stolen. Just earnings on savings are being stolen, while the richest have access to free loans. People in positions of influence who speak up get canceled. I can’t even think of a just situation going on in the world right now.

Fun Trivia: The Catholic Church is exempt from paying US federal/ state/ local taxes AND Francis said nothing about giving up that exemption.
