THE VATICAN--Yesterday, during his morning mass homily, Pope Francis urged Christians to come out of the closet and proudly proclaim their communism. He stated that when the church is generous in providing for the needy, "the Church ends up looking like the communist party and this bothers us." But nothing about the communist party should bother Christians, he opined.
He encouraged his followers to take pride in looking like the communist party, because it is a glorious party that fulfills the commands of God.
The Pontiff used a story from Genesis to illustrate one way in which God invoked communism. He said that when God asked Cain, "Where is your brother?" (whom Cain had recently murdered) God was channeling Karl Marx by applying guilt to Cain, ostensibly a member of the privileged elite, for exploiting his brother Abel who was presumably from the working class. This ancient story clearly shows how God wants Christians to stop murdering our foes and give our wealth to them instead.
Pope Francis seemed to be making the point that it is God's will for the state to control the means of production, though he did not quote scripture on that particular subject. The Holy See also did not tackle 2 Thessalonians 3:10 where it says: "if any would not work, neither should he eat," a scripture that is in direct contradiction to the platform of our beloved communist Democrat Party, but as with the story of Cain and Abel, perhaps theologians have simply been missing the point for millennia.
