Commie Pope Francis Tells 60 Minutes that Conservativism Is “A Suicidal Attitude”

F%ck that guy. These marxists have done a great job of destroying Christianity as we know it.

I guess I'm not following the logic here. I presume he is using the term at a societal level.

What is suicidal about the concept of conservatism or conservative policies?

Or better still, in what way do leftist, progressive policies prevent societal suicide?

The church as an institution has survived for 2000 years. It's never been accused of being too liberal.

Freedom is..checks notes… suicidal.

Cool.

He is the embodiment of hubris. The Church's teachings are that of the bible. When you start changing the Church's teachings away from the bible to acomodate people, you are committing an act of hubris. You are putting yourself above the word of God, because you think your word is better.

I wish that were true though. He is the top living leader of the Roman Catholic Church, and he has changed the Church to deviate from the word of God. Saying he's not essential is dishonest. He is, and he's doing tremendous damage.

Interesting how conveniently the traditional enemies of impoverished servitude to elitism are suddenly finding their leaders transforming into the opposite of what they purport to represent.

When most offshoots of Christianity have been reduced to bad pop concerts or are destroying themselves from within over gays, it's strange that the most traditional church has a conservative Pope suddenly leave and be replaced with the absolute opposite. Almost feels planned.

I am Catholic and hate this Pope. Yall are right, he is a communist Pope. Don't follow a word he says

He’s sending a mixed message. Christians are clearly called upon the be generous and charitable and care for one another. Clearly Christian’s are not taught to focus on gathering of material things in spite of each other.
He’s not correct in that there is no central message of Christianity that calls for us to pay more tax to a government to somehow level a playing field with redistribution of wealth.

Conservatism calls upon people to be less reliant on a government. It strives to develop the individual as self reliant. That can be economically, or otherwise. Conservatism calls upon people to be lawful.
It also stresses generosity through charity rather than through some form of taxation to a government.

Liberalism calls for less reliance on charity with an emphasis on paying taxation to a government that is supposed to work as a great charity designed to level a playing field at a level that they determine. Throw in the concept of reparation for slavery and you can see how it can get messy. Liberalism stresses more reliance on the government.

What the pope ignores is that many governments and especially ours, can ignore Christian or any form of religious teaching. The democrat party attempted to have the word “god” stricken from their platform language. The liberal mindset is purely godless with total reliance on the state.

Reliance on a godless government is not in line with the teachings of Jesus.

So the pope seems to send mixed signals. He should not send message to Christian’s that we need to be more reliant on a government and pay more tax to a government. Quite the opposite. Be prosperous but be generous - Not through government but through giving to those truly in need.

What a joke. And the masses will genuflect and kiss the ring anyway.
