As a democratic Socialist with certain Old Catholic sympathies I
follow Pope Francis's visit here with keen interest, I always thought "
Fanfare for the Common Man " should replace the cacophony of the
National Anthem.
I agree from a left-wing perspective-not political correctness- that there is a real threat to freedom of religion in the United States. The sane and sound principle of separation of church and state does not imply blatant hostility between the church and state. The hateful " New Atheism " has inspired this. Oddly enough these New Atheists also seem to encourage Islamophobia and are one with the neo-cons in supporting imperialist wars in the Middle East.They have no quarrel with Zionist, apartheid Israel.
It is amusing to see all these Ayn Rand Republicans slobbering over the Catholic pope.What does Catholic social philosophy have in common with " The Virtue of Selfishness " ? Ask Catholic Jeb Bush.
Can you really love both capitalism and the Jesus of the " Sermon on the Mount ". ?
Pope Francis is NOT a climate change denier. Thank God !
