Most religions frown on bottomless greed and exploiting and persecuting the poor instead of helping them, but look at how Rush Limbaugh, leader of the Republican Party, hates the Pope for spreading the word of Jesus.
- smsm42 13y agoI doubt Limbaugh hates the Pope for spreading the word of Jesus. I'd imagine rather Limbaugh thinks that what the Pope said is not the word of Jesus, but the word of this particular Pope, and since Limbaugh is not, as far as I know, a Catholic, he is not obliged to equate the two. I think Limbaugh, as any person, is allowed to disagree with the Pope, especially in political matters, and why you describe such disagreement as "hate" is a mystery for me. As for the questions of greed, the Catholic church is not one of the poorest establishments on Earth, and has various episodes in its history which do not look very good to modern eye. However, such is the nature of men - it is natural to expect people to deviate from high morals and sometimes be greedy even if their religion rejects greed, and sometimes be hateful even if their religion opposes hate. That, however, does not make greed or hate religious institutions, and does not make them property of a particular religion.
