Rubio encourages pope to renounce Baal Tyranny

“Sen. Marco Rubio, a Catholic and son of parents who fled the
communist paradise, denounced, warning that the move as ‘more than just putting
U.S. national security at risk, President Obama is letting down the Cuban
people, who still yearn to be free.’ Rubio didn’t spare any words for his
spiritual shepherd, who he politely encouraged to ‘take up the cause of freedom
and democracy, which is critical for a free people — for a people to truly be
free.’”
“While it might be fodder for sensational journalism, Rubio and
other Catholics who make public policy shouldn’t have to correct their pontiff
on foreign affairs. Clerics are spiritual leaders, not political ones. When
prelates pretend to be diplomats, it dilutes their authority on issues of faith
and morals.”
“Francis might have done one better by prodding the Castro
brothers about their regime’s woeful human rights record. That would have been
in a Pope’s wheelhouse.”
