The Vatican has been laundering money for the Mafia since time immemorial. No matter how "good" the pope is, nothing is going to change.

Give me the mafia over the PAPee anytime!! Come to think about it, can't tell the difference between them anymore!!

Some people continue to defend trickle-down theories which assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness in the world. This opinion, which has never been confirmed by the facts, expresses a crude and naive trust in the goodness of those wielding economic power and in the sacra*lized workings of the prevailing economic system. Meanwhile, the excluded are still waiting.

Was it New York Mayor-elect Bill deBlasio? Maybe former Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich? Was it perhaps President Obama, whose most hysterical critics accuse him of being a socialist?

Nope. It was Pope Francis, who has been engineering an historic change in the focus of the Roman Catholic Church, redirecting attention to the most pressing issue of this century – basic fairness and equality when it comes to sharing the world’s resources and being a decent world citizen.

[See a collection of political cartoons on the economy.]

It’s difficult for American politicians to openly question the way we deal with wealth and income distribution in this country. There’s an unfortunate sense that there’s something un-American about criticizing the rich, let alone expecting them to pay higher taxes or live under any kind of regulation. And when they screw up – and Wall Street screwed up big in 2008, bringing the world to the brink of a global depression – were they punished for it? Sort of; they were fined, which only serves to send the message that money is the currency for not just products but behavior. They didn’t go to jail, as might have happened to someone who had burgled a home or held up a grocery store. If you steal other people’s money when you already have money, that is somehow not considered a jail-able defense.

The pope goes beyond the question of how we regulate people in finance. He gets to the root of the problem: the idolatry of money. As long as we endorse the notion that amassing more and more wealth, beyond the point of what anyone would enjoy in a lifetime, and at the expense of people who spend their entire lives struggling to put food on the table, we will have a pervasive sickness in our culture. Francis is committed to healing it. And you don’t have to be Catholic to join the crusade.

what fairness are you talking about?
Catholic church are very rich. Lots of money in the bank and lots of land.
Maybe pope can start by donating their massive wealth to the people.
Just bullshit talk, about stupid people believe it.

 

[Sinkie]

Only idiots believe the pope is God's intercessor for mankind.

And these fucking morons have what they call a confession box. KNN, what fucking rubbish.

The Catholic church has exploited more peasants than any other organisation on earth.

1. The Church is in reality an insurance company selling insurance against being damned to hell. The premiums are deposited in the collection plate every Sunday.

Quite so , until the MIW came along. However they aren't quite as smart because no cardinal earned a million bucks a year.

It is indeed interesting that you failed to read thoroughly
The emphasis should be on this and this alone
Criminal trials should be decided by independent and impartial courts
Not through the media and bringing up of unrelated news and gossip

How CHC or Moonie or other cult is run is none of anybody's business
As long as no laws of the land are breached by pastor or congregation
Unquestioned loyalty to masters is also applicable to Lightning cult
Religious leaders or members are first and foremost citizens of Sinkieland
Therefore when they comment on politics it is in that capacity of citizen

Education and courage to question authority will solve problem of blind loyalty
So when this Pastor Lee Old Fart claims to be able to rise from the dead
Those brainwashed sycophants will not clap but instead will throw rotten eggs

Leading causes of death ? You have it confused with another religion I think . Something founded around the same region. Christianity is not a western religion, It was founded by a Semite who probably looked like nothing angmo.

I'm quite sure he's talkin about your religion. Spanish Inquisition is enough.

You should approve of the methods of the Spanish Inquisition. Round up heretics, lock them up for the rest of their lives, torture, whipping. Seems like the kind of diversions you would approve of.
