Tell Rush Limbaugh: We support Pope Francis

Excuse me friends, i do not know whether this sort of activist post is proper on a forum. But,

There is this petition:


Tell Rush Limbaugh: We support Pope Francis!

We are disturbed by Rush Limbaugh's incendiary comments last Wednesday, November 27th about Pope Francis and are joining together with Catholics and other allies throughout the nation to support the Holy Father. To call the Francis a proponent of "pure marxism" is both mean spirited and naive. Francis's critique of unrestrained capitalism is in line with the Church's social teaching. His particular criticism of "trickle down economics" strengthens what Church authorities have said for decades: any economic system which deprives the poor of their dignity has no place within a just society.

Contrary to what Mr. Limbaugh suggests, the Catholic Church isn't built on money, but on the firm foundation of Jesus Christ.

We call on Mr. Limbaugh to apologize and retract his remarks. We urge other Church organizations and leaders--both ordained and lay--to also condemn Mr. Limbaugh's comments.

We proudly stand with Pope Francis as he provides prophetic leadership for the Catholic Church and the entire world.

Anyone who calls Pope Francis a Marxist is either a fool (and thus not worth listening to) or else a liar (and thus not worth listening to).

Pig boy needs to be yanked off the air. His slander has gone too far, yet the FCC is too afraid of him to do the right thing.

As to "pig boy" Would calling him a pill popping hypocrite be a better way to describe this loser of the air waves?

With that said where is the love from Rush? Nothing but hate there. I don't hate him, I actually feel sorry for him. He has such a misguided soul & throws his anger at drug addicts (hence "pill popping hypocrite&quot , women, the poor, homosexuals and the list goes on.

Rush is the exact opposite of Jesus.
