Has the Pope become the first global community activist.

POPE CONDUCTS POLITICAL RALLY ON U.S. BORDER

TRIES TO INFLUENCE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY IN SOUTH CAROLINA


Is it a coincidence that the Pope makes his second visit to Cuba and conducts a rally on the US border during a crucial time in the Republican Primary Process?
A little history on Cuba. As a kid, I used to listen to my radio on a regular basis as I went to sleep. I remember as a 14 year old listening to the celebrations in New York City and the excitement of the media when Fidel Castro marched into Havana in 1959. I knew nothing about the real politics and assumed this was a great day, as everyone was leading us to believe.  I don't remember how long it took, but it was not very long that to our astonishment, we found out that Fidel and his cohorts were communists. We were led to believe that Fidel was a great deceiver, but in hindsight Fidel never tried to fool anyone. The media, and I can only assume many in government, knew very well who Fidel was.
It was not long till the realities of actual communism became apparent... firing squads, confiscation of property, torture and imprisonment of dissidents, millions fled to escape the great socialist experiment. When the economy failed, as it was destined to do, the Soviet Union stepped in to subsidize and support the country and the Castros. Over the years we have heard university professors and the media extol the virtues of the socialist state of Cuba. I wonder why none have repatriated themselves to this great place only 90 miles from Miami.  After the Soviet Union disbanded in the early 1990s, they were no longer in a position or had an inclination to support their allies in Cuba. But with a great sigh of relief, the Castros were saved by their new benefactor, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela. Hugo happened to also have his own firing squads, imprisonment policies, and confiscated private property. Chavez was praised by the same professors and media elites as a great savior of the poor and less fortunate. Due to oil wealth of the country, he was able to subsidize Cuba until the Venezuelan economy collapsed, as all socialist economies are destined to do. It was recently reported that there was not enough food and shortages of most basic necessities in Venezuela. The Castros were truly at a crisis moment.  Is it a coincidence that low and behold, we have a visit to Cuba by the Pope and again extolling the virtues of the communist state?  Is it also a coincidence that our great leader Barak Obama found that our policy was really the problem with the economy of Cuba and we will fix this by opening up relations with Cuba. The Castros have not changed their ways - they still imprison dissidents, do not allow private property and I doubt if they or their successors will. This is nothing more than a US bailout of the last bastion of communism in the world.
Now to the Pope, he has been traveling the world, condemning capitalism and free enterprise and trumpeting the virtues of socialism and the redistribution of wealth from the so-called prosperous (but if you objectively looked at their debt, near bankrupt nations) to less fortunate around the world.  So while we have Bernie Sanders and Obama doing all that they can do to confiscate and redistribute the wealth of the responsible and industrious in the USA, we also now have the Pope advocating the looting of America to redistribute to the world.  Again, is it a coincidence that he scheduled his itinerary to include a trip to the Mexican border in last days of the crucial South Carolina primary? Or that he called out Trump by name as being non-Christian for wanting to secure the border thereby being a reactionary to the causes of social justice.  It is sad to say that every advocate of redistribution will attempt to make Christian people feel guilty in order to attain their political agenda. This is being done to a point of asking them to commit cultural and economic suicide.
