One of his whacko notions of "justice" is to forcibly take money from those who have it and give it to those who don't - this is nothing but THEFT, socialist-style.
I don't know much about Pope Francis.
Can you give me an example of this behavior so I could judge it for myself?
He is no doubt well-meaning, but like most Marxists, he's an idealistic dreamer who worships an unattainable fantasy called equality.
Let's take this sentence away from Pope Francis. Perhaps the Pope has some very strange ideas of what 'equality' means. Okay.
But really, if you're representing Christianity... what, specifically, do you have against equality, as it's supposed to mean? I would have thought that Christians would be behind a valid message of equality.
The equality I'm talking about is treating people as equals, and giving each person an equal level of respect. Until a person decides to hurt another... then screw 'em! ... ...or something along those lines.

Um. No, they're not.
When the devil comes along, speaking in the name of equality, who can oppose him?
Those who stand for actual equality.
Ever heard of a wolf in sheep's clothing?
Yes. Someone making statements like my first quote above sound a lot like a wolf in sheep's clothing.
