Concentration Camps: During a service on Tiber Island in Rome in April, Pope Francis claimed that Italian institutions for refugees had become, "concentration camps" because they are so overcrowded. The Italian journalist Alessandro Socci replied: "Pope Francis sees concentration camps in Italy where there are none, but he does not see them in Cuba and China." Blasphemy: The Italian region of Piedmont with its capital Turin makes a blasphemous use of a photo of Michelangelo's Pietà in order to promote homosexualism. Above a picture of the dead Christ in the arms of Our Lady a writing says that criticizing homosexualism - quote - "is hatred that kills." Conversion: St. Melany’s Byzantine Catholic Church has received Assembly of God Pastor Joshua Mangels, his family and members of his congregation into the Church. The group converted because Mangels started studying the Church Fathers and wanted to go back to the roots. It is interesting that the …More

Well, it cannot be said that the seminaries in the Netherlands are overcrowded. Ditto for Jesuit novitiates.

Marxism was responsible for the deaths of approximately 100 million people in the 20th century. Perhaps this was perpetrated by bad Marxists as opposed to the good Marxists like Fidel and Evo Morales with whom Francis is friendly and who are the true Marxists, just as he's always saying that Islamic terrorism is an aberration caused by "inequality" and not the real Islam.

Excerpts from George Neumayr's The Political Pope: How Pope Francis Is Delighting the Liberal Left and Abandoning Conservatives,

Pope Francis grew up in socialist Argentina, an experience that left a deep impression on his thinking. He told the Latin American journalists Javier Camara and Sebastian Pfaffen that as a young man he “read books of the Communist Party that my boss in the laboratory gave me” and that “there was a period where I would wait anxiously for the newspaper La Vanguardia, which was not allowed to be sold with the other newspapers and was brought to us by the socialist militants.”

The “boss” to whom Pope Francis referred is Esther Ballestrino de Careaga. He has described her as a “Paraguayan woman” and a “fervent communist.” He considers her one of his most important mentors. “I owe a huge amount to that great woman,” he has said, saying that she “taught me so much about politics.” (He worked for her as an assistant at Hickethier-Bachmann Laboratory in Buenos Aires.)

These biographical details throw light on the pope’s ideological instincts. Yet many commentators have ignored them, breezily casting his leftism as a bit confused but basically harmless.

Evo Morales, Bolivia’s proudly Marxist president, offered the pontiff that sacrilegious image of Jesus Christ. Morales described the gift as a copy of a crucifix designed by a late priest, Fr. Luis Espinal, who belonged to the Jesuit order (as does Pope Francis) and had committed his life to melding Marxism with religion. Pope Francis had honored Espinal’s memory upon his arrival in Bolivia.

Had John Paul II or Pope Benedict XVI seen such a grotesque cross, they might have broken it over their knees. Not Pope Francis. He accepted the hammer-and-sickle cross warmly, telling the press on the plane ride back to Rome that “I understand this work” and that “for me it wasn’t an offense.” After the visit, Morales gushed, “I feel like now I have a Pope. I didn’t feel that before.”
