Well, since you are all over this thread acting as the quote police, then you should at least get it right. The pope didn't say he knew a few Marxists who were good people, he said he knew many. You know, as in more than just a few.

I'm sure you would want to be sure you're being accurate.

Yep, the Pope said he knew "many Marxists who are good people"; he also said that their ideology is wrong. Hate the sin, love the sinner.

Being a Marxist is a sin? Where does the Bible say that? Does it say why it is a sin?

Why the Pope thinks it is wrong, and it being a sin, are completely different things.

You know that right? You have read the Bible, and know what a sin is, correct?

The Pope may disagree on how to serve a tennis ball correctly (not sure if he plays tennis honestly), but if he disagrees it is not a sin to think another way is right.

Pope Francis would no doubt wash their feet and give them a meal. Which would make the American right shout, "Jesus wouldn't do that!!!!! Jesus wants you to wash your own feet!!"
LOL, that about sums it up.

Meh. He said he didn't agree with Marxism. I have several right wing conservatives in my family. I don't think they are bad people because of it.

What was out of context with sickofnyc's post?

Also, there were a TON of Jesuit priests who were ecstatic about this selection. Nothing out of context there.

Typical relativist leftist, comparing playing tennis to an ideology that killed millions of people.

Marx rejected God, which is a sin.

Is that directed at me?

I compared nothing to nothing. Simply saying you can think people are good people even if they subscribe to political bull****.
