Miami Priest To Pope: Why Condemn Capitalism and Not Communism


Questions to Pope Francis:

Why do you and other religion leaders condemn capitalism so strongly, and offer us a list of all the disasters that result from it on earth, but we never see an equally strong condemnation of atheist communism, which continues to cause the world so much harm?

Why do we ignore those who suffer from the great poverty of a lack of freedom and who, only for expressing their desperation and demanding respect for the most basic human rights, are detained, harassed, and beaten?

Is it really more important to have diplomatic relations with a country that has not had free elections in 50 years, that abuses its people, that has a well-documented history of oppressing and robbing the Church–than to seek justice, the common good and freedom for all Cubans?

“I know,” Father Cutié concludes solemnly, “the majority of people reading this will say, ‘those Miami Cubans,’ we don’t understand. I’ve come to the conclusion that they are right. … I don’t understand–and don’t think I will ever begin to understand–why a man of God can meet with oppressors, but not the oppressed.”

In discussing the Pope’s condemnation of capitalism, Father Cutié could be referring to a number of remarks made in the past few years. In 2013, Pope Francis said that capitalism is “an economy of exclusion and inequality” and “such an economy kills.” Faced with communism–most blatantly in the form of a hammer and sickle crucifix–Pope Francis said, “I understand this work. For me it wasn’t an offense.”

Father Cutié joins masses of prominent Christians now questioning the Pope’s relation with  Castro family, and his silence in the face of abuses of prisoners of conscience. None appear more disillusioned than those millions persecuted by the Cuban government themselves.

But, of course, none of those protesters were allowed anywhere near the pontiff. Seems everyone on the left simply cannot stand questions or criticisms on their slanted views.
