Pope says he is not offended by being called a Marxist. Oh the Right Wing is going to poop themselves over this one!

Sticks and stones bitchez!

Pope Francis responded to critics who call his stance on capitalism Marxist, saying in a new interview that the political and economic philosophy is flat "wrong."

"Marxist ideology is wrong," the Pope told the Italian newspaper La Stampa in an interview published on Saturday. "But I have met many Marxists in my life who are good people, so I don’t feel offended.”

Earlier this month, the conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh blasted the pontiff, calling his latest major writing, an apostolic exhortation called Evangelii Gaudium, "pure Marxism."

"It's sad because this Pope makes it very clear he doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to capitalism and socialism and so forth," Limbaugh said.

Pope Francis told La Stampa that, “there is nothing in the Exhortation that cannot be found in the social Doctrine of the Church.”

The 50,000-word statement calls for church reform and castigates elements of modern capitalism.

I swear that Pope Francis is going to cause Rush Limbaughs heart to give out if he keeps making these statements. (And if he does by the way I will be one of the first to call for naming him a saint once he passes. I know, right?)

Do you know who must be secretly digging what this Pope is saying like probably no other person on the planet?

This guy.
