Pope Francis' Newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, Praises Communist Karl Marx

(1/1)

Moss:
Several weeks back, Pope Francis was criticized for reportedly claiming "there is no Hell" -- a claim he did not deny -- and now his own newspaper at the Vatican, L'Osservatore Romano, has published an article that applauds German Cardinal Reinhard Marx for his praise of the founder of Communism, Karl Marx.

In the May 6 article, headlined Marx in controluce (Closer to Marx), Cardinal Reinhard Marx speaks proudly of Karl Marx, who wrote the Communist Manifesto, and whose teaching has been denounced by the Catholic Church and multiple Popes since the 19th century.

Nonetheless, as the respected Catholic blog "The Eponymous Flower" details and translates, "In yesterday's Sunday edition of the Italian Osservatore Romano, an initiative of Cardinal Reinhard Marx, Archbishop of Munich and Freising, President of the German Bishops' Conference and member of the C9 Cardinal Council, was benevolently published: the 'canonization' of Karl Marx."

The L'Osservatore Romano article states: "We are all on the shoulders of Karl Marx. That does not mean that he is a church father."

"This outrageous formulation reserved for former popes and church leaders means that Karl Marx is not a church father, but almost one," reports The Eponymous Flower. "These astonishingly unrealistic words by the German cardinal [Reinhard Marx] were printed without comment and above all without contradiction by the pope's daily newspaper. "

I think it’s safe to say that Pope Francis is a  communist. I don’t mean that as to be degrading just as a matter of fact.
