Pope says pandemic proves 'magic theories' of capitalism have failed

Pope Francis waves during the Angelus noon prayer delivered from his studio window overlooking St. Peter's Square, at the Vatican, Sunday, Oct. 4, 2020. ROME -- Pope Francis says the coronavirus pandemic has proven that the "magic theories" of market capitalism have failed and that the world needs a new type of politics that promotes dialogue and solidarity and rejects war at all costs.

Francis had started writing the encyclical, the third of his pontificate, before the coronavirus struck and its bleak diagnosis of a human family falling apart goes far beyond the problems posed by the outbreak. He said the pandemic, however, had confirmed his belief that current political and economic institutions must be reformed to address the legitimate needs of the people most harmed by the coronavirus.

He denounced populist politics that seek to demonize and isolate, and called for a "culture of encounter" that promotes dialogue, solidarity and a sincere effort at working for the common good. Francis' English-language biographer, Austen Ivereigh, said with its two key predecessors, the new encyclical amounts to the final part of a triptych of papal teachings and may well be the last of the pontificate.

He dedicated an entire chapter to the parable of the Good Samaritan, saying its lesson of charity, kindness and looking out for strangers was "the basic decision we need to make in order to rebuild our wounded world."

Are those the same 'magic theories' that kept stores stocked this entire time?

Watch 'MUST WATCH: Dr. Reiner Fuellmich: 'Probably the Biggest Crime Against Humanity Ever Committed'' on YouTube

Making deals with communist China, and now capitalism bashing, hmmm.

Read it & weep!

The pope should get that child rape thing figured out first

And the Catholic Church has a stellar record of defending an individuals rights and freedoms. No record of manipulating the masses to serve an elitist agenda....not at all....😳

Yes, poor village lifestyle in west africa works far better.

Who gives a shit what the false pope has to say.

Antichrist

Never make the error of believing the Roman Pope is anything more than the bishop of Rome. The Bishop of Alexandria, Egypt is also a Pope, as in papa aka father.

He’s a religious leader, what does he even know about economics?

The fake Pope and the fake news can go piss up a rope.

Canada needs to have a serious conversation about reopening the asylums we closed 25 years ago. Things have become exponentially and immensely more dangerous since.

Oh, do tell! The greatest civilizations in human history are capitalist, and they’ve been a failure eh? You folks must be getting desperate telling such obvious lies.

Ivalera7 erinotoole When even the Pope does not believe in Trickle Down Economics, where will the CPC_HQ turn to justify their tax breaks to corporations and their billionaire friends. neverconservative cdnpoli DoBetter

$25M 👉 Pope has bank.

We all know he's part of the club.

This man needs to be reformed!

Yes, Communism will save us. Probably by killing people before they can get a virus. This Marxist Pope is the worst of my lifetime. Capitalism saves lives and brings prosperity to the masses. Pontifex

Yea okay.

Your friend NotreDame president brought it

China has approved this message.

Okay? What does he suggest as a replacement? Communism? Judging from the wealth accumulated in the Vatican something worked. Perhaps it is the “pay me to pray for you system”, or the “it will cost you $100 to shorten your stay in purgatory” system.

Both religion and capitalism have failed there must be balace of capalitism and socialism along with religios freedom but not religious athurity over human lives or scociety in general.

This title reads as satire.

Lmao who wrote this? Bozo the clown?

Because history has shown communism and socialism work SO well... more taxes doesn’t improve quality of life.

Pope is an expert on economics?

Says the head of the wealthiest organization in the world. Get a grip.

Vatican have failed humanity with their pedophilia.

The church has failed the people... he's creating a smoke show for his incomitants 👎🇨🇦

popes say a lot of things. Not everyone believes in a pope. We have elections to have people speak for the majority.

Says who?

Your probably Wright.

any nwws of the Vatican City Bank fraud cases of London luxury real estate and immunity for pedophile priest because no punishment for it in Canon law

Maybe the pope should worry about his own house, before wading into other things he knows nothing about!

Capitalism only serves those at the top. Time for a new economic world that serves all people.

Ctv has failed at the truth

lambert_pp SOLD out pope CCPVirus

Ivalera7 Hmm...I wonder if there are any other examples of magical thinking involved in the popes job?

lambert_pp Pedophilia is not a sexual orientation BTW Pontifex you should fix that first, plus, the only reason we are in debts it's because of the covid not because of capitalism WHICH you live of quite a lot SIR. from donation of CAPITALISTIC hand-out pantload

Pope makes a good point. But he still propagates the silly story about a virgin birth and a zombie saviour so he's still got a ways to go.

more purchased drivel/guilt from the 'dope on a rope' pope .. to which I would reply ... pandemic proves 'magic theories' of an all powerful loving/forgiving God & church have failed..

Spoken like a true globalist. The “anointed one” is the biggest fraud outside of this PLANdemic.

This pope wants to return to feudalism and regain the control the church had over it.

Tell the pope to sell some of their paintings

Think Xi’s One Belt, One Road program casualty

But the magic rituals of the church totally work right?

Says the man who believes in Creation!

And I should care about this why exactly?

Please. Look at all the countries where they have/had socialism and ties to the Vatican. I wouldn’t exactly use the word “successful”.

Did you know that human trafficking brings in three times the amount of money than the NFL? Guess who's at the top of that racket.

And yet, the Pope’s Catholic church is the biggest and most successful capitalist organization in the world.

Tell him to redistribute all the Catholic church’s wealth than. Be a shining example of what you would like to see.

While he sits amongst the Vatican’s riches 😂

Once A Nightclub Bouncer, today as Pope and political analyst. And so there you have it. ... Happy?

The alternative to Capitalism sounds fun - by the way big daddy pope, how’s that sex with boys thing working out for your team?

Capitalism hasn't failed its been hijacked by corruption.

The theory of the Catholic Church has failed. We no longer accept child molesting priests. nopope FThePope

Actually, sir, the pope has masters degree in chemistry, a degree in the Liberal arts and taught psychology and literature. Maybe listen to what he says, you might learn something.

Wow! What a smart virus!.....or a really dumb Pope. John Paul II is spinning in his grave.

The pope also said sucks

lol, the democrat liberal disease runs deep. corruption.

His Holiness is speaking about 'the magic' that failed. Quite ironic, no? 😉

A communist Pope. Ya, that's about right.

I don’t really follow Catholicism or know it’s history, but is it normal for a Pope to be political?

My level 26 wizard believes in socialism too.

The pope promoting communism and globalization. The church has fallen.

Pope should stick to saving peoples souls and ridding the church of abusive priests. He knows fuck all about capitalism.

Yes Pope, Venezuala is a thriving place with all the people happy and singing sermons.

DefundThePope MarxistPope

Capitalism put this man in one of the wealthiest institutions in the world. When the socialists come for his silk robes and golden chalest he may be singing a different hymn

What does the common cold prove? What does a sore throat prove? What does an ingrown toe nail prove?

So socialism isn’t the answer? Socialism has a long history of failure.

remember that time a pope resigned from hearing god because he was held accountable for crimes against humanity and went into hiding at the vatican?

We know Dump is a master con but this guy ... this guy and his organization have been doing it for over two thousand years!

Wait until they reveal that the Pope doesn’t support abortion......

Says the leader of the diddlers

US Patent - COVID Vaccine - Mederan It was rejected but read the second paragraph of the patent. '....deliberate release...'

The lawyer who sued VW talks about COVID. Crimes Against Humanity

LOL WHAT

Not impugning on those who have a personal faith or call to faith, it’s an odd statement coming from an institution of rituals and superstition (and politics) and the ups and downs of religious history.

The Catholic church failed to protect children from the many pedophiles in its church. but I don't see us abandoning Catholicism

if it wasn’t abundantly clear to everyone, there is a Communist global takeover going on right now. time to wake up amd fight back against tyranny.

The pope should shut his pie hole. This from an institution that is the biggest landowner in the world, and lives off charity

If he was in China, he would have been a good “patriotic church” leader!

So the nazi-sympathizer is siding with George Soros, another nazi. There's a big surprise. Maybe the catholic church should open their bank accounts for audit, and start donating some of its assets...

I don't like this globalist Pope

The false prophet wannabe shares his opinion.

True

The marxist Pope won’t say pandemic proves 'magic theories' of central planning have failed

Wow even the pope is spreading communism. Thats fine the Liberals top 1% and media can all bet on the Canadian economy. Ill bet against it and hedge. At the end of it will find out who is right. Im good with that. I cant fix stupid but I can profit off of it.

he is just a hologram

'Top German lawyer of German Corona Investigative Committee says those responsible for the Covid fraud scandal should be trialled for probably the greatest crime against humanity in history.'

I bet he did.

Yes, this is much better.

Well can they share their wealth? Their archives? Their real History? Arrest THEIR Pedophiles? EXPOSE MOTHER THERESA AS A HUMAN TRAFFICKER. maxwellKnows

Lemme get this right...the Pope hates capitalism and is for the global socialism of the New World Order despite the fact that socialism-communism killed over 100 million people that capitalist societies had to rescue the world from in two world wars. Am I hearing this right?

Yes to the utopian NWO in his demented mind.

That coming from one of the wealthiest organizations on the planet !! They pull in billions a year !

The pervert said what?

Pope of Pedos

Just don't tell LeslynLewis - the Vatican has been overrun by socialists! cdnpoli

The Vatican has no moral standing It will come out And people will be stunned

dismantlecapitalism

Speaking of magic theories......

He isn't a Pope. He works for the UN.
