In an interview published Sunday in Italian news daily La Stampa, Pope Francis addressed conservative criticism of his recent statements on economic justice by explaining that he is not a Marxist, but is also not offended by the label because he believes Marxists are good people, too.

Last month, Rush Limbaugh said that Francis’ views on poverty equated to “pure Marxism coming out of the mouth of the pope.”

“Marxist ideology is wrong,” the pope said in an apparent response to Limbaugh. “But in my life I have known many Marxists who are good people, so I don’t feel offended.”

Going on to address Limbaugh’s accusation that his papacy has become “purely political,” the pope said he is only following “the social doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church” by speaking out about economic inequality, and that “this does not mean being Marxist.”

By pointing out rampant global poverty and the excess wealth concentrated among global elites, he is merely presenting a “snapshot of what is happening” in the world today, he added.

In a very nice way Pope Francis has just told Rush publically that he doesn't get Christianity or the Doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church. He also just said he rather be confused for a Marxist then be confused for Rush.

Like I said before, giving aid and comfort to the poor and the needy is one of the most ancient traditional roles of the Church. For a very long time they were the social safety net, the ones who forced the rich to give alms for the poor, the ones who kept those wracked by misfortune from starving to death in the streets. They are still that in many parts of the world, and Pope Francis is the first Pope in a long time who understands this.

I do just love Rush Limbaugh accusing the Papacy of being purely political. I am shocked, shocked that the head of one of the world's largest and most in influential organizations is a political position. What other revelations do you have Rush? Are the US Presidency and Congress also chock full of consummate politicians? Could that be possible? What about the UN? What about every government on the planet!? These vermin could be anywhere, everywhere! You have to help us Rush, we can't spot them without you!
