"As for a Catholic website, I would trust Pope Francis and his MS in Chemistry...."

Here's a little news item about your "trust" in Pope Francis and his boss: "The 'boss' to whom Pope Francis referred is Esther Ballestrino de Careaga.  He has described her...'a fervent communist.'  He considers her one of his most important mentors.  'I owe a huge amount to that great woman,' he has said, saying that she 'taught me so much about politics.'  (He worked for her as an assistant at Hickethier-Bachmann Laboratory in Buenos Aires.)

"'She often read Communist Party texts to me and gave them to me to read.  So I also got to know that very materialistic conception.  I remember that she also gave me the statement from the American Communists in defense of the Rosenbergs....Learning about communism, he said, 'through a courageous and honest person was helpful.  I realized a few things, an aspect of the social, which I then found in the social doctrine of the Church.'"
