Catholics in Alliance statement denouncing Limbaugh’s remarks on Pope Francis
Catholics of all political stripes are disturbed by Rush Limbaugh’s incendiary comments this afternoon about Pope Francis. To call the Holy Father a proponent of “pure marxism” is both mean spirited and naive. Francis’s critique of unrestrained capitalism is in line with the Church’s social teaching. His particular criticism of “trickle down economics” strengthens what Church authorities have said for decades: any economic system which deprives the poor of their dignity has no place within a just society.
A petition denouncing Limbaugh is here.
