My thought is it’s junk and I only read the first sentence. I’ll save others the time it took me to open it:

The title of the article is: The Pope’s Marxist Head of the Jesuits

The first line is: Understanding the adage that personnel is policy, Pope Francis has been planting Marxists throughout the Church, including at the top of the troubled religious order to which he belongs.

Pass.

I pass too. I like Pope Francis and think he’s doing a good job
 
Capitalism has been that system of society which has created wealth while socialism has destroyed it.

Everybody should know this.

Capitalism is the legalising on an individual basis and corporate collective of private property and the right to keep the wealth created by that individual or corporation subject to some taxation based on democratic government. People who are good at creating wealth are thus the ones who are deciding where that wealth should be re-invested. This tends to create more wealth.

No power on earth has been so successful in creating wealth and lifting people out of poverty.

Socialism is the ideology that all wealth belongs to the state and it has the right to re-invest it along the lines of socialist ideology. This creates a ruling elite which is corrupt and not involved with the creation of wealth but simply the taking of it. Wealth is thus reinvested by people who are not good at creating wealth and the money tends to be spent on protecting the ruling class elite.

Socialism destroys wealth and no system on earth has been as repressive and authoritarian as socialist regimes.

I would expect the pope, like most people, knows this.

Pope Francis has always said Marxism is false. Don’t pin socialism on him, he’s an enemy of socialism.
 
Pope Francis ,I believe is the product of his South American Socialist roots.
I don’t always agree with everything he says but also think he is oftentime misrepresented by the media,which want to put him in a liberal box.
Regardless,for better or worse and he has had a positive impact in many ways,he is the pope the Holy Spirit wants for His Church at this time.

Yes, I think you are correct; Pope Francis is imbued with his Latin American background. There have been some complaints about his less than active intervention in the events in Venezuela, see CWR article here.
 
Keep in mind that Pope Benedict said that democratic socialism as it is referred to in Europe was close to Catholic social teaching. It’s not all Mao and Lenin.

Sounds interesting.
