>Europe, he emphasised, had always had a multicultural identity and that required a culture of dialogue and the “respect [of] the foreigner, the immigrant and people from different cultures as worthy of being listened to”.
>“Solidarity should never be confused with charitable assistance, but understood as a means of creating opportunities for all the inhabitants of our cities – and of so many other cities – to live with dignity,” he said. “Time is teaching us that it is not enough simply to settle individuals geographically: the challenge is that of a profound cultural integration.”
>He ended his speech with a vision of his dream for Europe: one where “being a migrant is not a crime but a summons to greater commitment on behalf of the dignity of every human being”.

He's showing that Christianity and socialism aren't contradictory. Their goals are the same: emancipation of a human spirit.
worst pope ever.
>reading the guardian
>quoting comrade francis as an authority of any kind

I'm proud to be Catholic and socialist
For the first time I feel that this is my Pope
>>58968901
He's the most popular pope ever
among liberal irreligious types and other non-catholics at least.
lots of different cultures in europe =/= multicultural europe
fucking piece of shit
Thanks for cucking us, Argentina.
>>58969039
that's only because liberal/socialist/comunists sjw are majority now unfortunatelly.
worst pope ever
>>58968988

You can't be a true Christian without it.
Jesus was a radical left-wing revolutionary
>>58969356
Jesus said "Give to God what is God's and to Caesar what is Caesar's." He didn't say "Kill Caesar and take his stuff because he's part of the exploiter class."
>>58968785
kek he's just an idiot, who got that stupid prize because they didnt have anyone who deserved it this year so, just not to upset the public, they chose him, who never did anything for europe
>>58969356
I only wish that our clergy would follow Francis' example and be more progressive desu
There are some like Anton Srholec and Bishop Bezák
>>58968785
Second Vatican Council let the commies infiltrate in the Church.
>>58969047
Britain, France, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, and Italy, while very different in many ways, also have most of shared history and cultural experiences. That does not apply to Turd World shitskins who come from a completely foreign culture that was not influenced by the Christian religion, the Renaissance, the Reformation, and numerous other events that are fundamental to having defined Europe.
>>58969436
>And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
A true champion of capitalism :^)
>>58969507
This is true. Starting in the 1950s-60s, Marxists began an systematic effort to infiltrate churches. Aside from the RCC like you mention, there were other things like the United Church of Christ which is a Marxist outfit posing as a church.
>>58969261
He was a pretty cool theologian. Everyone just remembers him as non politically correct, le nazi pope, and le darth sidius XD
>>58969644
All that means is wealth alone does not buy you salvation.
well.. his parents were inmigrants, what else is he gonna say? BUILD A WALL?
And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need.
>>58969740
>So those who are last now will be first then, and those who are first will be last.
Yeah, I'm sure your radio pastors know what it really means
Latin America is the last place in the world where anyone still takes socialism seriously. The rest of us moved on in 1989.
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
And he answered them, “Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.”
Can he be a good socialist and kill himself?
Only church that brings light is the burning one.
BTW, I do happen to know that this is that underage Putinbot Slovak, I was just waiting to see if he'd finally lose it. ;)
Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
>>58969974
I hate Putin. He's a homophobic war-mongering fascist.
Go fuck yourself
>>58969962
You're not even from a Christian country, dude.
>>58969980
>>58969930
>>58969873
So, like I said. One should be kind to the less fortunate, not that the less fortunate should kill you and take your stuff.
>>58969980
Nero said it better m8.
"Murder your mother
Burn your house down
Give your life to the muse
And you're still not a Poet"
>>58970054
Neither are you.
Also, say that to the fucking church two blocks from there.
>>58969865
It's prolly 'cause of Cuba. I wish we'd just done a thermonuclear strike on Havana back in 1965 and been done with it.
>>58970103
>he thinks all socialism is revolutionary
>>58969699
Yeah, the commies also created the "liberation theology" here in LA, which prays that Jesus was a commie and shit, also the PT (workers party here) were born from people of this "theology". Nowadays the catholic belief here is very weakned and the national confederation of bishops are almost confessed communist (they are not literally because it gives an automatic excomunication), but anyway, the commies infiltred good and this pope is a shit.
>>58970200
This desu
True democracy is impossible without socialism
>>58968785
>tfw people actually like this pope
Get your shit together christians
>>58970103
Now, countries like Sweden that have social democracy, back in the 50-60s, real communists despised it. They said SD was worse than pure capitalism because it amounted to throwing the workers a bone so they wouldn't rise up and overthrow the exploiter class.
Of course I guess it didn't help that Sweden was hardline anti-communist during the Cold War era because most Swedish communists were seeking to turn the country into a Soviet republic.
>>58969699
>there were other things like the United Church of Christ which is a Marxist outfit posing as a church.
Which of course Obama attended for 20 years and heard a pastor every Sunday curse out white people.
>>58970251
>democracy
>socialism
literally trash, democracy has showed that people is too stupid to chose good politicians and socialism is for betas who wants to live from welfare, both are the cancer that is killing the society
>>58970339
Look up "eurocommunism"
Western European communists weren't all tankies
>>58970403
Yeah...those were the granola bar hippies who protested against nuclear energy and thought feminism was actually a good idea.
>>58970382
That's why the US is a republic, not a direct democracy.
>>58970611
uwot m8
feminists from that age literally only thought tht husbands shouldn't be able to rape their wives
>>58970339
Actually, most communist parties in Western Europe became irrelevant after WWII except in France and Italy. Part of this was improving living standards and expansion of the middle class and also because WE became a de-facto US colony after 1945 and we were doing everything possible to assist European governments in suppressing communist movements.
>>58970611
Btw, a long-time Swedish PM, Olof Palme, was a democratic socialist
He stood up to human rights abuses by both Western and Communist regimes
>>58968785
>the church getting involved with marxism
Garl Marks would be rolling in his grave if he saw the state of leftism in the 21st century.
>>58969644
No one said he was a capitalist either nigger

>clandestine NATO operation Gladio
>support of right-wing terrorism, fascist regimes in Spain and Portugal and military junta in Greece

Thank god.
>>58971028
None of the Orthodox areas of Europe experienced the Renaissance or Reformation; they were too busy choking on Mongol and Turk dick. The fact that they missed out on these important formative events goes a long way to explaining why they're a colder version of Guatemala.
>>58971204
Right after VE Day, the US and Britain were concerned about the activity of Western European communist parties. The defeat of fascism was seen as a triumphal moment for them and the fear that they could make major electoral gains in France et al loomed large.
It only took a few years however for Western European communists to lose importance once it became clear that Stalin's aim was Russian imperialism rather than world revolution, also most of them had a strong, lofty intellectual tradition that made them very disconnected from the working class.
>>58971204
PCI was actually pretty decent (Christian Democrats were mafia and Socialists were corrupt af)
Enrico Berlinguer was an honest man
>>58970765
The Communist Party of Germany is actually still banned; this is a prohibition left over from Nazi times that was never repealed.
>>58971320
>once it became clear that Stalin's aim was Russian imperialism rather than world revolution
That should've been clear since the split between Trotsky and Stalin
>>58971432
Actually the communist party of germany was banned in 1956.

You're either hot or cold, just as Jesus has stated, you can't stand in-between

Oh. That was probably at the connivance of Uncle Sam.
