You won't allow God in the schools but are quick to have him be your buddy when talking about charity.

Socialism is not charity.

Socialism is not charity.

Charity is very much a socialist act on an individual level.

That would have required reading and understanding the Bible... funny how so many Christians have so utterly failed to do either.

Government mandated social justice through forced redistribution is not charity.

Charity is freely given, not taken.

A Marxist and a Catholic.

Oxymoron anybody?

The Pope is just emphasizing what has been Catholic social teaching since the 1800's-----nothing new here.
People who take Rush seriously are sad, pathetic souls.

Exactly what about Jesus leads you to believe that Jesus was a socalist?

And exactly what about Jesus makes conservatives believe he was a ruthless capitalist or a gun-loving, prejudiced bigot?

Since our government is of the people, by the people and for the people, it is society's decision to freely give to those less advantaged. Our society, as determined by the majority of the people, have chosen to use the government to set up social programs to benefit the poor, the sick, the handicapped. We have freely chosen to do so. There will, of course, be people in our society who don't want these programs to exist. But they are in the minority. In a system of government which allows the majority to direct policies.
