[quote]CNN) – Pope Francis: Successor to St. Peter ... the people's pontiff ... Marxist?
That's what conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh suggests, calling the Pope's latest document "pure Marxism."
Limbaugh blasted the pontiff on Wednesday, a day after Francis released "Evangelii Gaudium" (The Joy of the Gospel), a 50,000-word statement that calls for church reform and castigates elements of modern capitalism.
Limbaugh's segment, now online and entitled "It's Sad How Wrong Pope Francis Is (Unless It's a Deliberate Mistranslation By Leftists)," takes direct aim at the pope's economic views, calling them "dramatically, embarrassingly, puzzlingly wrong."
The Vatican issued the English translation of "Evangelii," which is known officially as an apostolic exhortation and unofficially as a pep talk to the worlds 1.5 billion Catholics.
Francis – the first pope ever to hail from Latin America, where he worked on behalf of the poor in his native Argentina – warned in "Evangelii" that the "idolatry of money" would lead to a "new tyranny."[/quote]

The Pope is a commie. The irony is just killing me :v:
This is coming from Rush Limbaugh, who cares
the same guy who brought you "feminazi", who said michael j. fox was faking parkinson's, who fear-mongered about the flu vaccine, etc
"I did it again, guys!"
Bout time
Rush you dummy the Church hates Marxism because it threatens their authority
Wow, Americans, the shit your conservatives say is mind-boggling.
You should gather round the Washington Monument and protest.

Remember that part in the bible where Jesus was thanking all those dudes for running businesses in a church and was totally cool with it? Jesus would slap this pinko commie of a Pope.
I'm gonna relish dancing on this fat lard's grave.

traditional marxism tends to be an atheist movement anyways. there is "christian-communism", but that is generally somewhat separate from the "mainstream" of marxists and the various offshoots.
"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people."
the pope is the mouth of god, this means god is a dirty commie. Which means Lumbaugh is a fat sack of shit
While the Church owns golden altars, symbols and priceless locked away artifacts then I will always see their words hollow.
Oh, whatever. To Limbaugh and his Ayn Rand-worshiping asshole followers, anything other than spitting on the poor and disadvantaged is Marxism. The rest of the world doesn't give two shits what he thinks.
Anything relating to human affairs is inherently subjective so Mister Pope can't be "wrong", but Limbaugh just went against the word of the [i]lawdy[/i]. He is the sinner heathen who must be purged from the Sodom and his golden [del]prosthetic dick[/del] microphone melted down and made into jewelry for the lord baby Jesus.
Fuck off Limbaugh.
Do you really want the Swiss Guard to show up in front of your house at night?

I don't think you understand that this guy doesn't hold any position in office, and only runs a radio talk show

They need to stab him in the guts with a halberd. The man is just such a fucking asshole. Please. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdE5fvX9FdA]God wills it[/url].

Oh and the person that actually does this will be instantly anointed as a saint.

How can you not take up that offer
Saint is a friggin' OP template, with only a +2 level adjustment!

From what I've seen people that actually hold a position in office are often not too far behind on the stupidity of their public statements.
Criticizes capitalism, must be marxist.

Pope Francis has done a lot to remove the excessive vanity from the church, and he is far from finished. Replacing his chair with something more humble, admitting Jesus loves everyone, firing the Bishop of Bling and converting his chapel into a soup kitchen, etc.
The conservatives in this country are starting to borderline on being fascist. This is ridiculous.
When are they gonna return those valuables they stole from the Greek Orthodox Church during crusade times?
one thing to keep in mind is that most christian americans aren't catholic, and most non-catholic sects have little regard for the pope. he's not the 'voice of god' to everyone

Business elites in the US once did have a plot discovered which involved establishing a Fascist government.
Remember, the Pope is the mouth of God, unless [i]I[/i] disagree with him!
Lol, guess Rushy boy never heard of a little thing called [I]ex cathedra[/I].
This is why you can't have a nice pope
