Or maybe . . .


Not a communist, not anything so intelligent or learned, but a personable blockhead.

Francis' interpretation of Catholic social teaching certainly sounds more radical than that of his predecessors.

In Argentina he insisted that his priests should see the world through the eyes of the poor, by living among them, and he brought that approach with him to Rome. 

Evangelii Gaudium - the document which got Rush Limbaugh so worked up - argues that inequality creates "a state of social sin that cries to Heaven".

Pope Frances has also said that unemployment is "the result of a worldwide choice, of an economic system that led to this tragedy, an economic system that has at its centre a false God, a false God called money".
