The Left Has Its Pope

Which has a better track record of helping the less fortunate — fighting for a bigger slice of the economic pie, or producing a bigger pie? -- Thomas Sowell

Your Say

The best track record is "Live and Let live" or, mind yer own business.

Stop interfering with Darwin's theory. The strong will survive and the weaker ones will die. Plane and simple. The sooner the better I might add.

The Blogfather, Glenn Reynolds (PBUH), has observed the simple subversion tactics the Socialists/leftists use when indoctrinating people who read articles in the socialist/leftist owned Media outlet:

For every ~10 articles in the magazine/newspaper, 1 of them is a socialist indoctrination pamphlet.

Same goes for Pope Francis.

Watch for it and the tactic is clearly seen with 'Capitalism is bad' as his main focus (...and to complete this 'sentence fragment', one would ask what the alternative to 'Capitalism' is, and there you have your bread crumb trail).

Being that Pope Francis is vigorously attacking 'Capitalism' (which really is an indirect application of "Thou Shalt Not Steal"), here is Professor Walter Williams discussing the morality of 'Capitalism':

Is Capitalism Moral?

Granted we all need some money to live, to survive. The Guy that fed thousands with a few loaves and fishes hasn't been around lately.


However He's coming back not to feed us but to carry us to that spiritual city not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens.

As I understand it Capitalism is an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.

It says nothing about the wealth accumulated, just the manor of acquiring it.

So, as I see the argument, The Catholic Church should acquire money via Capitalism and distribute it as Socialism dictates? Like our Federal Government, with the welfare and Medicade and EBT cards and free phones? Thing is, they're not in the political game, don't need to buy votes.

Oh, and the Catholics go where the troubles are, they do not import all the wretched people to this country and fix them and feed them and teach them how to vote.

This is one of the rules and guides to my faith and practice:

Matthew 6:18-21
Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust does corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust does corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

In 1980 Pope John Paul II faced down the Soviet Union, along with Lech Walesa. The KGB swore that would never happen again.

This Pope is the result. Selected and delivered by the KGB, a true fellow traveler.
