FOX News attacks the Pope

"Conservatives' uneasy relationship with Pope Francis I got even more complicated after he issued his recent apostolic exhortation that criticized the "idolatry of money." Judge Andrew Napolitano blasted the pope for "attacking free-market capitalism." Rush Limbaugh accused him of preaching "pure Marxism." And now, in an op-ed for FoxNews.com, editor Adam Shaw takes things one step further by calling Pope Francis the "Catholic Church's Obama," and not in a positive way...".* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down:






Fox News attacks the humble Catholic Pope and glorifies disciples of the atheist Ayn Rand. Is this just a case of politics and strange bedfellows or is Fox actually the anti-Christ? Just asking the question.

People who place money, possessions/material things, and power of higher importance than the welfare of their fellow human beings.

That's about as simple as I can make it and in my opinion, has nothing to do with God or religion.

BTW, as lapsed Catholic who abhors religion, I love Pope Francis.

unflinchingly (disregarding all theological apologetics and sputtering) about their own Beatitudes. Right there. Jesus. Undeniable. Does not register.
