Is the Pope a Communist ? - ketchim - 06-08-2015
Pope Francis's critique of free-market economics has made him an icon for the Left and prompted claims that he is a communist.
The leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics has called capitalism a source of inequality at best - and at worst a killer.
Is the Pope, as his critics claim, a red radical ?

Francis - or Jorge Bergoglio as he then was - came of age :
under the regime of the nationalist Argentine leader, Juan Peron.
Peronism, a political movement which defines itself by three aims -
social justice, economic independence, and political sovereignty.....
