A Well-Known Cuban-American Priest Just Asked Pope Francis The One Question On Everyone's Mind

"Why do you and other religion leaders..."

Papal condemnations of capitalism that also give godless communism a free pass from criticism are a sin, a prominent Cuban-American religious leader said this week.

"Why do you and other religion leaders condemn capitalism so strongly, and offer us a list of all the disasters that result from it on earth, but we never see an equally strong condemnation of atheist communism, which continues to cause the world so much harm?" Rev. Alberto Cutié, a former Catholic priest who is now an Episcopal priest, wrote in a column in the Miami Herald.

"Is it really more important to have diplomatic relations with a country that has not had free elections in 50 years, that abuses its people, that has a well-documented history of oppressing and robbing the Church–than to seek justice, the common good and freedom for all Cubans?" he asked Pope Francis, who met recently with Raul Castro and other Cuban leaders.

"I don’t understand–and don't think I will ever begin to understand–why a man of God can meet with oppressors, but not the oppressed," Rev. Cutie concluded.

Cutié echoed concerns expressed by members of the Ladies in White dissident group, made up of mostly Catholic female relatives of Cuba’s jailed political prisoners.

Obama didn't invite pope to seek his opinion on certain things, Obama invited pope to the US to get his approval and backing on his devilish and evil propositions.
Him who has ear let him hear.

To my co-pilgrim OLAADEGBU, l know anything Catholic gives you the spasm and it is well documented on Nairaland. Pope Francis played a key role in finalizing a deal to open relations between the United States and Cuba for the first time in 53 years, the thawing of the frosty relationship opens up the path for justice for the oppressed.


l believe this quotation would guide your reflection as we all journey through life towards eternity.

Matthew 9:11-13

11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

OLAADEGBU:


How about this scripture:

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised" (Luke 4:18).

Before you go on to compare the pope with our Lord Jesus Christ did the Pope ever preach the gospel or heal the sick to the poor and oppressed?

I will never compare any human with Christ neither will l further burn any more energy or time on this thread as l have a beautiful life to live outside it!
