Crux: Pope Francis Exploits Workers


Edit: just received this from Max Hanlon. It's amazing, Crux is turning on the Pope? What's wrong?

ROME— With a flourish he inherited from Argentina’s legendarily populist political force, Peronism, Pope Francis from the beginning has been a vocal champion of labor and workers’ rights, backing measures such as equal pay for equal jobs between men and women, affordable housing and land, and living wages.

Just this past Thursday, during his daily morning Mass, he dramatically condemned employers who exploit workers through temporary contracts or by not offering health insurance.

“[These employers] are true bloodsuckers, and they live by spilling the blood of the people who they make slaves of labor,” he said.

James Burnham diagnosed what was called in those days liberalism, one of the symptoms being that you don't really have to do anything good for anyone else, just mouth the piety and believe in it.

The reason I bring this up is today's news. The current ruling claque for the most part will be mouthing the usual pieties and believing in them even harder as the sword slices through their jugulars and cervical spines, while the other part will be wielding the sword.

It appears Crux no longer accepts comments. Anyone got the story on that?

Mechanisms of propaganda tend to only accept positive comments and if that is not possible, no comments at all. That's the story on that.
