$8 billion I guess isn't unfettered ... hypocrisy reigns. We all know what he meant. You can try to use semantics to cover for his socialist/marxist agenda all you want ... those of us with a brain know exactly what Ol' Franky is driving at. The left has it's pope.
Case in point. The official poverty level in the United States is the upper middle class in Mexico. The much-criticized market economy of the United States has done far more for the poor than the ideology of the left. Pope Francis' own native Argentina was once among the leading economies of the world, before it was ruined by the kind of ideological notions he is now promoting around the world.
Another case: he wants to meet with American "prisoners" -- those who have been incarcerated because they committed a crime, yet refuses to meet with Cuban political prisoners. Why? It would cause too much of a kerfuffle with Fidel, who shares most of Franky's ideas.
You're so clueless it's laughable. If you had seen things from my perspective (the inside) you wouldn't be so mesmerized by a guy, elected by other guys, who wears a funny robe as if he's Jesus and claims to be the "vicar" of Christ.
He say's gun manufacturers are hypocrites and cannot call themselves Christians yet his own bodyguards carry Sig P220's, Glocks, and other sub-machine guns.
He denounces air conditioning, yet Carrier Corporation donated a massive multi-million dollar system to the Vatican.
Maybe I should change my screen name to Aristophanes since it's so easy to point out your error in venerating a man so full of hypocrisy and ignorance.
