More proof that the Americansky Pope is a socialist.

This Pope said "health" is a human right, not healthcare. That means that society is absolutely bound to make people healthy whether they like it or not. That means they can tell you what to eat, what to drink, how to live, how to sleep and you have to obey because "health is a right".

He used the phrase "health equity" which is Marxist to the very core.

Odd; I've read the Bible cover-to-cover and never once saw anything saying health is a basic right. And in fact poor health was one of the curses God specifically smote Adam and Eve with, meaning it is from HIM and not from anything we do. We are supposed to try to help the sick, comfort them, but we are not obligated to provide good health to others; that is the province of God Almighty.

And of course we cannot guarantee good health.

The man is clueless as to what constitutes a right. Rights place no burden on third parties; they are something you inherently possess and would have as long as nobody actively takes it away from you. All of the so-called rights that leftists like Dope Leo advocate require society to take positive, aggressive action for you to be able to access. People who do not know you are forced to aid you at their expense. Those are not rights - they are privileges.

We live in a world governed by the absolute necessity of seeking wealth. It is the core of our existence and it comes from the curse placed on Adam when God told him he had to work if he wanted to eat. While it is possible to be charitable it is quite difficult because wealth is a hard thing to amass and a harder thing to keep and everybody has to find a way to acquire it. In Heaven there would be no need of that but on this Earth it is the most basic necessity. That is why healthcare has always been a for-profit enterprise; people need to get paid to do it. Yes, there are not-for-profit medical services and usually they are pretty poor precisely because there is no money in it and those doing it wind up moving to a for-profit medical service. You ultimately get what you pay for.

Leo wants to simply deny all that and demand free health care for everyone with just a waive of the magic wand. But it doesn't work that way and if he truly cared for the poor he would support paid medical services, since they often also serve those who can't pay. Drive them out and who will take care of the poor then? The one or two hospitals that cater to such? Good luck with that; they'll be broke in no time.

Paul John Paul II and his successor Benedict were both Conservatives but they did what Conservatives do and did not purge the Left from the Vatican. Once Francis got in he immediately moved to cement the Left's power over the Catholic Church in permanently and Leo was the end result.

I see no way of fixing this because Leo now appoints the cardinals, just as Francis had done, and they are now all leftists. The Church is permanently stuck on stupid and will remain so.
