Pope Leo has obsessively blamed all the problems in the world on capitalism and colonialism. Even when they’re very obviously the work of Marxists or Islam.
The next leg of his tour, to Equatorial Guinea, was more of the same.
On the final stop of his trip through Africa, Pope Leo XIV addressed officials in Equatorial Guinea on Wednesday, calling on people to work against inequality and exclusion and to safeguard natural resources.
Speaking in Melabo, the nation’s capital, to an audience including government officials and diplomats, the pontiff condemned economies that seek profit at all costs, Euro News reported.
“Such an economy kills,” he said. “In fact, it is even more evident today than in previous years that the outbreak of armed conflicts is often driven by the colonization of oil and mineral resources, without respect for international law or the self-determination of peoples.”
Pope Leo spoke after a welcome by Equatorial Guinea’s president, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, who has faced many accusations of corruption and authoritarianism in his 47 years in power. More than half of the country’s people live in poverty despite rich offshore oil resources.
Mbasogo has been in power for a good chunk of his life. It’s a one-party state in which the only legal party is the Democratic Party of Equatorial Guinea. He took power by overthrowing his uncle, Francisco Macías Nguema (above), the country’s first president, a ‘Marxist’ who admired Hitler and was backed by the USSR (think of an even more insane version of Graham Platner), whose National Workers’ Party, used to be the country’s one party state.
Nguema ingested copious amounts of hallucinogens, which drove him insane. He abandoned the country’s capital to live in his native village, taking the entire national treasury with him, and burying the gold reserves under his bed. When the Central Bank’s director objected, he was murdered. Nguema also accumulated a huge collection of human skulls outside his house, and beat people with them. He also held regular meetings with “ghosts”. The capital’s main power station was closed, as Nguema declared he could meet the energy needs using magic.
Clearly a problem of ‘inequality’ and ‘colonialism.’
Along the way he managed to kill some 10% to 40% of his people while claiming to possess magical powers and changed the country’s motto to, “There is no other God than Macias Nguema”.
Mbasogo, the current dictator, whom Pope Leo met with, also claims to be a ‘god’.
In a programme called Bidze-Nduan (Bury the fire) which deals with “peace, tranquillity and the order reigning in the country” the radio declared that President Teodoro Obiang Nguema was “in permanent contact with the Almighty”.
It said that the president was “like god in heaven” who has “all power over men and things”.
“He can decide to kill without anyone calling him to account and without going to hell because it is god himself, with whom he is in permanent contact, and who gives him this strength,” a presidential aide announced on the show.
This seems like the kind of thing that Pope Leo should be condemning instead of ‘colonialism’.
This almost enabler of Islamofascism crimes masks his Extremism under “just preaching Gospel”.
The ‘pope’ preaches the Gospel of Marx …
Pope Bob isn’t a Christian: he’s a weapon the Vatican corruptocrats chose to help dismantle the Free World, and therefore specifically to attack Pres. Trump, who is defending Western Civilization, at every possible turn.
In other words, he’s a leftist tool in papal garb.
“…he’s a leftist tool in papal garb.”
It doesn’t matter who is wearing that garb. And that is stated biblically and objectively, not subjectively.
No pope in the past was the representative of Christ, nor now, or in the future, either.
The Lord’s spokesman and authority in this time of grace we’re in, is the apostle Paul, his epistles.
The apostle Peter, and his “chair” the popes claim to sit in, was, and will be, an apostle of Israel, the Circumcision.
If some would just read that Book (KJB).
Here he is again Mr Hyper-dispensationalist. You’ll probably collect as many followers as that Objectivist fellow who writes on these comments sections.
Here he is again Mr. Hyper-Dispensationalist. You will probably get about as many converts as that Objectivist fellow who writes on this websites comments sections.
Equatorial Guinea, often cited as having the lowest average IQ in the world, at 59.
Primarily Bantu, with up to 5% Mulatto.
Formerly a Spanish colony, Spanish is the main official language.
“, the costs associated with the Dahomeyan trip are meticulously itemised: clothing for the ambassadors (cloths, capes, hats, jackets, coats and shoes), transport and lodging, meals out and nights at the opera.”
So what paid for the night at the opera? African King selling African slaves.

The Pope is such a tool.
I am certainly glad that Uganda was not on the itinerary of Pope Leo’s recent papal visit to Africa, and that Idi Amin is long dead, or we might have seen His Holiness being bounced on Amin’s knee like a toddler visiting Santa Claus.
All joking aside, when popes behave very badly and degrade before the world their Sacred Office, it is a signal that the terrible wrath of God is soon to come upon us. There is an old saying, that a fish rots from the head first. God have mercy on us all, Catholics and non-Catholics alike.
If the Pope had gone to Uganda while Idi Amin was in power he may have found himself the main course at dinner.
…self-determination of peoples
The Vatican is an absolute monarchy with a leader appointed for life by people appointed by previous Popes. It is also a “one party” state. Only Catholics are allowed to live there. Citizenship is based on employment (plus immediate family) and removed when the person leaves office.
The Lefty steals terminology from the hard sciences to look smart. They should consider the concept of a damping factor. It is used in forecasting.
Bad things in the past do live on… for a time But they also damp oput over time. Unless you pick at it like a scab. Which liberals do. as a device to gain power.
My spouse, having lived through real communism, says they only get truly depressed, when there is nothing to eat. Central planning will do that.
If they believed liberal clap trap, they would be depresssed all the time.

A damping factor is a parameter used in forecasting methods, such as the Holt-Winters method, to reduce the trend of the forecast over time. It typically ranges between 0.8 and 0.9 to balance capturing the trend while being conservative in predictions
Leftists like to use the concept of intersection from geometry,
Such underachievers, They should use the concept of a damping factor too. Forecasters use it. A lot of forecasting is based on human psychology. If you do not take human psychology into account, you can fail badly.
…. like a lib..
It’s quite clear that the real problem has always been not enough colonization.
First, Dope Francis and now Dope Leo. What next? One out of five priests will turn out to be child molesters???
Wonder if any of Nguema’s collection of skulls could have been turned into a bong?
lol … one of Wellington’s units which fought at the great battle of Vitoria still uses the urinal of Napoleon’s brother King Joseph of Spain (which they captured when looting Vitoria) for drinking Champagne at their special dinners 🙂
Always the false paradigm that capitalism is based upon inequality and exclusion. This is so typical and leaves out a plethora of data showing that capitalism is the singular means of elevating people out of poverty in their lifetimes.
What would a coddled priest, taken care of by the “donations” from Catholic followers, know anything about equal opportunity and hard work? Yep, he’s just another sniveling leftist hiding in plain sight.
Thankfully, people want freedom to build meaningful lives and exercise the use of their brains and creativity to make their lives better.
He’s just another parasite attaching himself to what he values as a longterm food source and Islam (sharing a similar structural hierarchy) is looking good and the freedom abounding through capitalism, not so much.
A trip into the Vatican catacombs would be very instructive although much is off limits for the rank and file Catholic….if everything is on the up and up, why all of the secretiveness? Hum….you need Marxism to control your parishioners under the guise of the gospel thereby keeping the money flowing while in engaging in great darkness that is kept out-of-sight.
Anyone professing to love G-d and their savior…what do you possibly have in common with his ominous man?
Pope Leo’s ignorance of history and reality is staggering and disturbing as well as disgraceful. His inability to discern reality puts the Church and Western Civilization at dire risk
Of extinction.
Another bad Pope. There seems to be an abundance of corruption at the higher levels.
It’s much like, “Another bad college president”. There is a lot of bad among people grasping for power.
I grew up Catholic. Went to parochial school. Was an altar boy even. It was dogma and verbal nonsense like the Pope just issued here that caused me to hate Catholicism. The priests and nuns were all full of this completely useless blather. Just before my 17th birthday I swore to never enter the church again. Except for a couple of funerals, I’ve kept that promise now for 57 years — no bad effects as yet.
At what point does the Catholic Church get reclassified as a POLITICAL PARTY? It seems like the Popes consider THEIR pontifications to be law or something! Shouldn’t he be talking about killing people being a “bad thing”??
