Pope disses communism prior to Cuba visit

[Watchingbear]

Pope Benedict XVI has said that Marxism has no place in the modern world and urged Cubans to find 'new models'.

Cuba has remained a communist country for more than 50 years and his comments will no doubt cause irritation, just days before he is due to visit.

He said: 'Today it is evident that Marxist ideology in the way it was conceived no longer corresponds to reality. In this way we can no longer respond and build a society. new models must be found with patience and in a constructive way.'

Well, is that not the model of the Catholic church? All the money at the top and the farther down the chain the poorer you are? Archaic restrictions and rules. All ruled from the top down. Talk about casting stones...
