Pope Francis Denounces Greed: ‘It Makes You Sick’ (VIDEO)

By Justin "Filthy Liberal Scum" Rosario - October 23, 2013



Pope Francis ripped off the thin veneer of piety that the right-wing wraps its greed in. No, Jesus does NOT want you hoard money and leave the poor to die.

First Pope Francis calls right-wing Christian extremism a “sickness” and now this? After the sermon he just gave, Pope Francis is not going to be invited to CPAC anytime soon. In fact, if he keeps this up, he’ll become enemy #1 to the frothing nuts on the right.

Let’s be honest, the right-wing centers on greed. In the 80?s, Reagan and Gordon Gecko codified the idea that “greed is good.” Since then, conservatives have lived as if your worth can only be measured by how much you’re worth. You were only as good as the size of your McMansion or how low the gas mileage on you Hummer is. Money stopped becoming a means to an end. It became the end in and of itself. All the while, conservatives swore on a stack of heavily edited Bibles that they loved The Jesus. And for the last 30 years, the entire world suffered for it.

But Pope Francis is not interested in Reaganomics nor is Pope Francis interested in false piety. No, Pope Francis is interested in the message of Jesus. Curiously, this message stands in direct opposition to everything conservatives stand for...
