Posted by SMAZ on Wed Dec 4 14:12:52 2013, in response to Re: Pope Francis Could Kick Rush Limbaugh's Ass, posted by AlM on Wed Dec 4 08:37:40 2013. SMAZ and I have read it. We are fully aware this Pope is not a liberal on cutural issue, only on economic issues.After reading Evangelii Gaudium, I believe he is more to the left on economic issues than North American liberals or global social-democrats are. This may have to do with his Latin American upbringing. Let's not forget that he is from the same place that Dr. Ernesto Guevara came from and his understanding of the world comes from what he's seen with his own eyes. I don't think an official document featuring such a scathing attack on modern-day capitalistic structures, practices, ideologies and the people who support them and benefit from them has ever been written by a religious figure of a Pontiff's importance and influence. Its economics chapter and the conclusions it reaches are in full accord with something that would be written in Mother Jones magazine or in Adbusters. Pope Francis is saying what Barack Obama should have been saying all along. He is unleashing the "Dangerous Church" that Father Michael Pfleger preaches about. The best part of it all, is that he is doing so while leading from the front and by example. No wonder the reactionaries are going into apoplexy. |
