Conservatives Lash Out At “Marxist” Pope Who Was “Hand-Selected By The New World Order”
Michael Savage: Pope Francis Has Been “Hand-Selected By The New World Order” And Is A “Danger To The World.” After the release of the encyclical, conservative radio host Michael Savage declared the pope has been “hand-selected by the New World Order,” called him a Marxist and an “eco-wolf in pope’s clothing,” and compared him to the false prophet in the book of Revelation “directing mankind to worship the Antichrist.” Savage concluded that “we are living in global tyranny right now”:

SAVAGE: He has been selected – hand-selected – by the New World Order. He is the first non-European pope in twelve hundred years. The same people who gave us Obama gave us this pope. The same people who gave us Obama and the pope are giving the world a good beating. He is from an area where Marxist theory was used to rule over the people. The pope is a danger to the world. Yes, I’ll be very clear on that. He knows about as much about weather as my — well, let’s put it to you this way. The only thing the pope knows about meteorology is that when it rains his highly-paid aides in the Vatican take out umbrellas and open them for him. The man knows nothing about climate. And for a religious man to do this is incomprehensible. How the Catholic people can put up with this, I don’t know. And by the way, if he hates capitalism so much and wealthy people so much, I think the pope ought to begin with an example by selling off some of the great art in the Vatican.

And I think this pope, this deceiver — what do you think because someone wears a holy robe, they’re holy? Are you people nuts? How many imams are terrorists? Oh, you’re willing to go along with that, aren’t you?

Well, the pope is a Marxist. I stand by those words. He is a wolf in pope’s clothing, he is an eco-wolf in pope’s clothing. He is a stealth Marxist in religious garb.

[…]

The man sounds like the false prophet in Revelation. He sounds just like the false prophet in Revelation — an ecumenical spiritual figure directing mankind to worship the Antichrist. The man is a false prophet. How could you buy this garbage? How in the world can you buy this? The world is cooling off, and the man is pushing this to attack capitalism?

This is unbelievable to me. We are living in global tyranny right now. We are living in global tyranny where the Big Lie is told over and over again. [Cumulus Media Networks, The Savage Nation, 6/16/15, via RightWingWatch]

Rush Limbaugh: Pope Is “Marxist” For Releasing Climate Change Encyclical. Rush Limbaugh said the release of the encyclical “seems to confirm” Francis “is a Marxist.” Limbaugh’s website headlined the transcript of the segment, “The Pope’s Leaked Marxist Climate Rant.” [Premiere Radio Networks, The Rush Limbaugh Show, 6/16/15]

Limbaugh: Pope Comments On Poverty Are “Pure Marxism.” Rush Limbaugh described the Pope’s critique of “unfettered capitalism” as “pure Marxism coming out of the mouth of the pope”:

LIMBAUGH: I mentioned, last night — I was doing show prep last night — usual routine. And I ran across this — I don’t actually know what it’s called — the latest papal offering, statement from Pope Francis. Now, up until this — I’m not Catholic. Up until this, I have to tell you, I was admiring the man. I thought he was going a little overboard on the “common man” touch, and I thought there might have been a little bit of PR involved there. But nevertheless, I was willing to cut him some slack. I mean, if he wants to portray himself as still from the streets of where he came from and is not anything special, not aristocratic, if he wants to eschew the physical trappings of the Vatican — OK, cool, fine.

But this that I came across last night — I mean, it totally befuddled me. If it weren’t for capitalism, I don’t know where the Catholic Church would be. Now, as I mentioned before, I’m not Catholic. I admire it profoundly, and I’ve been tempted a number of times to delve deeper into it. But the pope here has now gone beyond Catholicism here, and this is pure political. Now, I want to share with you some of this stuff.

“Pope Francis attacked unfettered capitalism as ‘a new tyranny.’ He beseeched global leaders to fight poverty and growing inequality, in a document on Tuesday setting out a platform for his papacy and calling for a renewal of the Catholic Church. In it, Pope Francis went further than previous comments criticizing the global economic system, attacking the ‘idolatry of money.’ ”

I’ve gotta be very caref– I have been numerous times to the Vatican. It wouldn’t exist without tons of money. But, regardless, what this is — somebody has either written this for him or gotten to him. This is just pure Marxism coming out of the mouth of the pope. There’s no such — “unfettered capitalism”? That doesn’t exist anywhere. [Premiere Radio Networks, The Rush Limbaugh Show, 11/27/13]

Limbaugh: Pope Supports Leaving “Everybody … Living Equally In Misery.” Limbaugh accused the pope of aligning himself with those on the left who want to leave “everybody … living equally in misery.” [Premiere Radio Networks, The Rush Limbaugh Show, 6/17/15]

Alex Jones Believes “Pope Is A Part Of The Globalist Plan To Destroy The World And Usher In A One-World Government.” Radio host Alex Jones’ Infowars website issued a “special report” about how the “Pontiff [is] a socialist tool to usher in one-world government” and “how the Pope is a part of the globalist plan to destroy the world and usher in a one-world government.” [Infowars.com, 7/10/15]
