Pope Francis can afford to be a commie
because it doesn't cost him anything to be one. His every want is paid for others. The apostle Paul, in contrast, worked a job all day as a tentmaker and preached at night and on his days off and could state to the Ephesians:
"I have coveted no one's silver or gold or clothes. 'You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my own needs and to the men who were with me. In everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"
^ That's not communism. That's someone working his tail off to take care of himself and his dependents and then donating of his own freewill some of his left over to help the weak from a good heart.
Maybe if Pope Francis made tents he'd understand what Paul was talking about instead of urging governments to extort the hard earned money of everyday taxpayers to hand over to those that never worked for it and whom are typically generational welfare types that live on the dole and whose children keep the local street gangs humming while they sell drugs on the side.
Not to mention the massive borrowing and printing of money these politicians engage in indebting entire nation's progeny for generations so they can act like Santa and pass out money to that same demographic (lazy generational welfare recipients) for their votes so the politicians can collect those votes and increase their own personal wealth. Jesus never taught irresponsibility.
Socialism, Communism, Fascism, are all roads that lead to the same end. Total government control of it's citizens and a complete lack of freedom. These 3 systems (which are really the same in their implementation) are responsible for over 100 million deaths in the 20th century alone, as well as untold misery to those who survived.
I think this article nails it:
