Bernie Sanders is wrong: Pope Francis is no socialist | National Catholic Reporter
Bernie Sanders is wrong: Pope Francis is no socialist | National Catholic Reporter by Hale. MGB: Christopher Hale seems to be as ignorant of Sanders as he accuses Sanders of being with the Pope, who many do believe is a follower of liberation theology. Sanders is a Democratic Socialist, as is this pope, Pope Benedict and pretty much every pontiff since Leo XIII. One need only look at Caritas in Veritate and its treatment of public programs to see this. Sanders is on the same page, he was not suggesting that Francis was a state capitalist, aka bureaucratic authoritarian socialist. Neither is Sanders. Anyone who says differently is red baiting, and there is no place in civilized politics for such tactics. One thing you can also be sure of, Hillary is not on the Democratic Socialist page. She is a neoliberal, through and through.
