RR Well put. If I hadn't left the church because of the
Vatican's protection of pedophiles, I would leave now for the Pope's promotion
of socialism. JS

Pope Francis is concerned about what he calls a “hemorrhage” of
priests and nuns from the Catholic church. Indeed, the loss of clergy is
weakening the church over the past decades. The Pope commented on how nuns and
priests have just quit claiming that modern society discourages lifelong
commitments as in the soaring divorce rate. He further said that people conduct
their lives based on “a la carte” choices.
The Podesta emails revealed that the Democrats dislike Catholics.
Hillary’s staff said Catholics are “severely backwards” .
Nancy Pelosi recently said: “They pray in church on Sunday and then prey
on people the rest of the week.”

The decline of Rome coincided with the collapse in their religious beliefs
during the 3rd century. Once the Emperor Valerian I was captured by the
Persians from Iran in 260 AD, confidence in the survival of the Empire began to
collapse. Other barbarians realized they could invade Rome for it was now weak.
People turned to their gods and prayed, but nothing happened. Christianity
began to spread when the Roman empire and its pagan gods began to fall.
Pope Francis with his communist ideas doesn't seem to understand that communism
replaces his religion. The state becomes God.
Countries become great through a free market and strong religious belief. Great
wealth is created but it is unequally distributed. This leads to revolts and a
collapse. Socialism and communism are just forms of revolt. They end up
achieving their goal of a more equal distribution of wealth but end up only
making everybody equally poor, except for a handful of communist leaders who
now own everything. The communist leaders are skilled in propaganda and
politics but not in much else, which results in the nation's economy
collapsing, and with it the government's power. When that happens the people
become more religious again, like today in the former Soviet Union.
