THE JESUIT INFLUENCE ON POPE FRANCIS IS DESTRUCTIVE: # 3 IN PURSUIT OF THE TRUTH - HTTP://WWW.CINOPSBEGONEBLOGSPOT.COM - TUES. SEP. 4, 2017 THIS IS PART 3 OF AN ARTICLE FROM LIFESITENEWS- SEP. 1, 2017 ABOUT A BOOK TITLED, "THE POLITICAL POPE" BY AUTHOR GEORGE NEUMAYR AND INTERVIEWED BY MAIKE HICKSON: Maike Hickson: Pope Francis has been meeting with, and supportive of, the World Meeting of Popular Movements. Could you tell us more about this movement and its political orientation? More specifically, could you tell us about Pope Francis' participation at such a meeting in Bolivia, together with its socialist President? George Neumayr: It is a collection of radical and socialist. In 2016, they gathered in Bolivia to celebrate among other things that the papacy had fallen into their hands. Pope Francis shared the platform with Bolivia's Marxist president, who was wearing a jacket emblazoned with a picture of Che Guevara. Francis used his speech to urge the attendees to keep agitating against the "new colonialism," which he equated with budget-cutting, free-market-oriented governments. The speech was catnip for the communists in the audience. Bolivia's president said after that he "finally" could follow a pope. MH: In the context of Pope Francis' possible sympathies with communism, could you tell us more about the canonization of Archbishop Oscar Romero and Dom Helder Camara? GM: Romero canonization movement had stalled under the two previous popes. But under Francis it bolted forward, with the meaning of martyrdom stretched to include politically motivated assassinations. That is a papal nod to Romero's status as a fashionable left-wing victim of government brutality. By way of contrast, it is hard to imagine the Vatican fiddling also with the rules for a right-wing bishop whose politics led to his death. The Camara canonization movement - he was called the red cardinal for his support for communist guerillas - would have been rejected out of hand by previous popes. But Pope Francis is letting it move forward. MH: What is the symbolism behind Pope Francis' personal visit with the widow of Paolo Freire, the author of the book "Pedagogy of the Oppressed"? GN: That meeting was set up by Cardinal Claudio Hummes, who had whispered in the pope's ear upon his election, "Don't forget the poor," by which Hummes really meant, don't forget to push socialism. Freire's widow said after the meeting that her husband. whose book is regarded as a communist classic in Latin America, had influenced the pope. The pope likes to say that the "meeting is the message," and his meeting with Freire's widow lived up to that adage, reinforcing the confidence that a generation of radicals raised on the "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" has in Francis. MH: You have also discussed in your book Pope Francis' leniency toward Liberation Theology. Could you describe to us his assessment of this theory and how he deals with its main representatives such as Gustave Gutierrez? GN: Liberation theology, which is an attempt to incorporate socialism into Catholic theology, was marginalizes under Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI. Pope Francis has brought it back into the mainstream. Leonardo Boff, one of the outre liberation theologians, has gloated about how he and many of his renegade confreres have been rehabilitated by Francis. After Pope Francis honored Gust Gutierrez, one of the founding father of liberation theology, Loser Romano reported that Francis was bringing liberation theology "out of the shadows to which it has been relegated for some years."

Wall Street Journal, Tuesday, Sep. 8, 2017, Main Street by William McGurn SPEAK FOR VENEZUELA, POPE FRANCIS "Venezuela bishops - who recently tweeted a prayer to "free our homeland from the claws of communism and socialism" - ... In a June 11 article headlined "Stop being soft on our despot, Venezuela's bishops forced onto Francis' schedule when they flew to Rome in June- uninvited.... Not to mention Cuba's military-socialist colonialism..... Today Catholic priests and bishops are courageously defying a Venezuelan regime that has hijacked what was once the richest nation in Latin America and driven it to poverty and despotism."
