The Next Pope Should at Least be Catholic

Pope Francis doesn’t like America.  Pope Francis doesn’t like capitalism.  It is unclear whether Pope Francis even likes Catholicism.  Whatever the case may be, he seems to be doing everything he can to dissuade Catholics from remaining in the Church, and to keep prospective Catholics from joining. 

When certain Christian leaders, such as the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, or the Southern Baptist Convention president, J.D. Greear, speak, nobody listens.  Why?  Because they sacrificed Christendom, and the glorious civilization it produced, upon the altar of wokeness a long time ago.  When the pope speaks, people still listen.  But that’s rapidly changing, and for the same reason.

A few of Pope Francis’ more memorable pronouncements are worth noting:............Pope Francis is also noteworthy for what he doesn’t say.  Take, for instance, when in 2015 he visited Cuba and gallivanted around with Raul Castro, a man whose legacy includes murdering and imprisoning Christians.  Not once did Pope Francis offer any criticism whatsoever of the bloody communist regime, nor utter a single word of solidarity with its victims.  And for the spontaneous protests of the Cuban people in 2021 and 2022, and the resulting brutal government crackdown?  Not a peep. ..................

Pope Francis has a rigid, inflexible worldview, born of the putrid liberation theology upon which he was weaned in Peronist Argentina.  This worldview holds that capitalism is evil, and the United States is its most sinful devotee.  His knowledge of basic economics and rudimentary history is beyond embarrassing, as is his inability to see critics and dissidents as anything but crude strawmen in a Marxist-Manichean cosmic drama.  For a man who likes to quip that “facts are more important than ideas,” he is remarkably illogical in his approach to humanity and its inherent problems. ...........To Read More...
