Venezuelan Bishops Warn Pope Francis About the Evils of Socialism

Edit: an anonymous poster made us aware of this from American Thinker , reporting on a story originally from the Investor's Business Daily, that there are some bishops, in Latin America of all places, who are being critical of Pope Francis' championing of Socialist ideas.  Who better to criticize those ideas than bishops who have to live with the realities, hardship, persecution of a Socialist country every single day?

Venezuela's bishops Monday blamed "Marxist socialism" and "communism" by name for the horrors and chaos gripping their country, according to a story in El Universal.

The bishops said the long lines of people trying to buy food and other basic necessities and the constant rise in prices are the result of the government's decision to "impose a political-economic system of socialist, Marxist or communist," which is "totalitarian and centralist" and "undermines the freedom and rights of individuals and associations."

The Venezuelan bishops specifically stated that the private sector was critical for the well being of the country. The document, read by Monsignor Diego Padron in Spanish, said the country needs "a new entrepreneurial spirit with audacity and creativity."

Who needs Leo XIII and Pius IX when you have Marx and Lenin? The Church is in dire need of a formal schism, the chaff must be separated from the wheat. It is impossible for the Institutional Catholic Church to change from the inside. The coming schism will be a mix of the Western Schism and the Protestant Revolution.

It may interest you that Life Site News is even picking up on the Pope Francis backlash in Italy and the USA.

It sure looks like Francis is a socialist who is creating a one world religion in league with a world socialist government.

A Warning! When commenting on National Catholic Register, be very careful and be subtle when defending Christ and His Church. I was "Black Balled" from the site because I told the truth in Simcha Fisher's column. There are modernist heretics on what belongs to Mother Angelia's site. Mother Angelica should be made aware of this, that when one battles, atheists, anti-Catholics, modernist heretics etc...One can easly be what NCRegister refers to as "Black Balled". I many times referred readers to, eponymousflower and to roratecaeli, I don't know if that is why I was "Black Balled".

Fantastic. Very brave bishops indeed.

If catholics took the time to read Vatican 2 documents,none of Francis' actions would be surprising.

Has anyone ever heard or read Pope Francis ever mention "Holy Sacrifice , Repentance,State of Grace or Genuflecting?Don't think I ever did, then, of course, I don't bother much with any of his utterances

They are wasting their time on a Marxist pope whose sole intention is to undermine the Roman Catholic Faith and implement his own brand of communist ideology. One thing he has in common with his Marxist friends and allies is his hate of traditional Roman Catholicism. If I met him I would say it to his pathetic face.

Actually when one looks at the Vatican ll Documents, Francis is to be considered one of the most anti-Vatican ll modernists. He does the whole opposite of what the Documents say. He like many modernists has invented his own Vatican ll. One commenter put it this way, "Everyone is anti-Vatican ll. Only the Traditionalists are punished for it".

Actually Vatican 2 documents promote universal disarmament,call Allah 'the one true G-d,and states the UN is the best hope for a global govetnment.Ever wonder why traditional catholics are thee only ones who receive scorn from Vatican 2 new order talking heads? Buddhists,muslims,jews, etc are fine, no problem.However,if a person rejects the Paul vi service, invalid holy orders, invalid Sacraments,etc.etc.watch out! EWTN Patrick Madrid and the merry band of liberal faceless talking heads will condemn them to 'schism'.What they don't realize is we,like the saints during the Aryan crisis,hold the faith while they hold the buildings.
