By Catholic World Report, CWR Staff - Vatican (kath.net) “When I look at the Gospel sociologically, then yes, I am a communist, and Jesus is one, too.”... With this dictum, Pope Francis explains the intention of the Gospel. In doing so, he approximates communism with Christianity, even puts it on the same level, since it allegedly exhibits an intention compatible with that of Christianity. This assessment gives rise to the suspicion that he does not regard the teachings of communism as reprehensible, but that, on the contrary, they can also be used to lead a life under Christian auspices.
