I wish we could read St Irenaeus’s original words instead of having to rely on Latin and Armenian translations. But the translations are better than nothing, and the very holy and very orthodox saint’s promotion to a “doctor” in the comical Roman system may encourage people to read his writings, which is much to be desired. In my opinion St Irenaeus is the most helpful of the pre-Nicene Fathers by a long way.

Find me his (Pope Francis) exact words/writings promoting or agreeing with a socialist theories/dogmas, dear Peter.
