Pope Francis recent publication highlights the troubling influence of Marxism within the Catholic Church, according to Accuracy in Media director Cliff Kincaid.
Ladies and gentlemen, Im not here to beat up on the pope, he said in a video recently uploaded to YouTube. Thats not my job. But I can read. I can read this document. I can see what he is saying, and I can tell you right now that this is a very, very disappointing document, and it makes me wonder about the future of the Roman Catholic Church in this world and what theyre heading towards.
The pontiff released his Evangelii Gadium, or Joy of the Gospel, on Tuesday. The document attacked trickle-down economics as a naive theory that has never been confirmed by the facts and warned that unfettered capitalism tends to devour everything which stands in the way of increased profits.
Kincaid said that his website, religiousleftexposed.com, had reported on Marxism inside the Catholic Church.

The Believers Share Their Possessions
32 Now the whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one claimed private ownership of any possessions, but everything they owned was held in common. 33 With great power the apostles gave their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. 34 There was not a needy person among them, for as many as owned lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold. 35 They laid it at the apostles feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need.
