How far to the right, Tim Johnson, do you have to be to lose your senses like this?  The social teachings of the Catholic Church can indeed be considered as "socialist," but that is not enough, and that is because our Teaching is solidly based on the teachings and actions of Our Savior Jesus Christ.  +Francis is a pope and therefore what he tells and shows us is the parts of our beliefs that have been neglected for too many years before him.  Jesus never "gave" to Caesar what belonged to the Father.  So why do you?
