Oakes and The Bear and Vox are already all over it, but here are my two cents.
Francis is such a diehard Marxist, he just can’t help himself. He literally cannot stop the words coming out of his mouth.
Or what about the words NOT coming out of his mouth. Because you’re certainly not going to hear anything about God, Jesus, Heaven, Hell, Judgement, etc. We can’t talk about anything Supernatural, because everybody knows that’s all BS. It’s all about building an earthly paradise, and being nice. Isn’t that what Jesus did?
Humanity is experiencing a crisis that is not only economic and financial, but is also ecological, educational, moral, and human. When we talk about crises, we talk about dangers, but also opportunities. What is the opportunity? That of solidarity. Come, help me. For everyone to contribute to the common good and to build a society that puts the human person at its center.
Which reduces to,
Humanity is experiencing a crisis that is human. Come, help me build a society that puts the human person at its center.
Man at the center. Francis at the center of the center. God not even mentioned.
Compare:
If we have chosen the position in life in which we can most of all work for mankind, no burdens can bow us down, because they are sacrifices for the benefit of all; then we shall experience no petty, limited, selfish joy, but our happiness will belong to millions…
History calls those men the greatest who have ennobled themselves by working for the common good; experience acclaims as happiest the man who has made the greatest number of people happy.
The brotherhood of man is no mere phrase…but a fact of life, and the nobility of man shines upon us…
Marx, Marx, and, you guessed it, Marx.
Stop crying about ambiguity where none exists. This is clear as could be.
“…Come, help me. For everyone to contribute to the common good and to the build a society, that puts the human person at its center. ”
This is HERESY!
I don’t know exactly what you call a Pope like Francis. We have had bad Popes for sure throughout Church history, but this is more that just being a ‘bad Pope’. When a Pope conspires with globalists and the likes of people like George Soros, Jeffery Sachs, and the U.N. who are all in effect readying the world for the eventual Anti Christ, what do you call a Pope like this? Just a ‘bad Pope’???? When a Pope such as this rallies for ‘humanism’ and cares nothing for the ‘saving of souls’ in the least, what do you call this? He is promoting paganism. Seriously, I don’t know who this man is! I know he’s NOT the Anti Christ, and I’m not sure if he’s just A false prophet or THE False Prophet, but he’s more than just a ‘bad Pope.’ That much is pretty obvious. He’s really frightening.
Time to re-read Michael Henry’s ‘The Meaning of “Demonic Nothingness”‘ (Modern Age 45, 3 [2003]), where he discusses Gerhart Niemeyer’s description of Communism ‘as evil of an unprecedented character, a “demonic error”that in some ways was even worse than Nazism’. The article is available at the website of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute .
‘… This eclipse of both transcendence and evil correlates with a profound loss of the sense of the height and the depth of human reality, so that the modern mind has become incapable of comprehending Eric Voegelin’s observation that “man in his mere humanity, without the fides caritate formata, is demonic nothingness.” This radically contracted and deformed humanity, the direct consequence of immanentizing and deifying the human while endeavoring to purge it of all participation in transcendent divinity, is a spiritual pathology that nonetheless has much to tell us about who and what we are.’
