Hilarious to call the pope Marxist. Wasn’t it Marx who called religion the opiate of the masses? Few communist countries tolerate religion much at all.

Yeah, there’s a BUNCH of Latin American Catholics that would read “Marxism = anti-religion” as news to them. (See: Liberation Theology)

He didn't say that as a bad thing.

The Communist Manifesto spends time talking about how compatible early Christian teachings are with Marx's goals.

As with the "abolition of private property" people quotes what's convenient. The whole quote goes:

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.
