    I would not say the Pope is a communist.

    Deluded, yes; wanting to help mankind, yes; doomed by his own cardinals for trying to make the RCC more transparent and rooting out the kiddie fiddlers in dresses, yes.

    In reality one of the better Popes in recent years, I hope he does succeed.

    Communist? IS NEITHER RIGHT OR LEFT

    FRANCISCO, IS SIMPLY, ARGENTINO:

    MORE ARGENTINO THAN THE DULCE DE LECHE

    PORTEÑO, AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF FLORES

    MIDDLE CLASS AND DESCENDING OF ITALIAN IMMIGRANTS AS MOST OF US

    FAN OF SAN LORENZO (CHAMPION OF AMERICA)

    PERONIST (NO ONE IS PERFECT, lollllll)

    SPOKEN HIS NATIVE LANGUAGE (CASTILIAN NAPOLITANIZADO) FRONT OF MILLIONS OF CHRISTIAN FAITHFUL

    DEFENDER OF “ LA PATRIA GRANDE” AND THEORY OF LIBERATION

    TRAVELING IN COLECTIVO WHEN WAS THE ARGENTINE CHURCH LEADER

    LATELY, CFK FRIEND (THE FIRST MIRACLE OF FRANCISCO!!!!!!! lollll)

    MEETS WITH THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND (REAL, NO JOKE): OF COURSE DID NOT MENTION TO MALVINAS (FOR DIPLOMACY), BUT WE SURE THAT MALVINAS, WERE IN YOUR MIND, PERMANENTLY.

    WANTED REORGANISING THE OLD TRADITIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE CHURCH AND VATICAN BANK REFORM.

    In his words: “A CHURCH FOR ALL” AND “YOUNG PEOPLE OUT TO DO ”LIO“”.

    The origin of DULCE DE LECHE is uncertain other than it came from SA.

    So PROVE your claim, independently of 'I know' / 'I was told', etc. PROOF!

    'Land, work, housing'; ...... ”the Pope is a communist!” '

    I can understand how this happens, Jesus Christ had the same problem.

    The USA is the home for those saying he is a Communist
    - or , even worse to 'Americans', ... Socialists!

    In any case, in general terms - and when considering land, work, housing - are 'Communist' and 'Pope' incompatible?

    According to what he claims to believe, he is a communist, or a Marxist-socialist of some sort.
