The Vatican bank is a stinking cesspool of corruption and they’re going to tell us how to run the world’s finances?

"This is an extremely bad idea."

I fully concur! In this, the Vatican is entering territory it should stay out of.

It has come to my notice that within the modern church, not just the Catholic, there is a push by some to have the state take over what has been the purview of the church--i.e. taking care of the poor (always with us--hello statism--forget utopia), the widows and orphans.

Whoa! Are they serious?? Have they read the book of Revelations?

When did John Lennon become pope? You know, Imagine...

In my opinion this is really scary stuff coming from the Pope.

It appears that - no matter what the religion - an “education” in that religion completely negates any ability in economics.

Jobs are created by capitalists.

If you want massive failure, check out “Soviet Union” in your Funk and Whatevers.

Has been tried on a smaller scale - Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
Took some 90 years to conclude that government by clueless doesn’t work.
That’s all we need - screwup on the world scale. Zero is working on it.

The Vatican should just stick to “saving” people’s souls.

What happened to give to Ceasar what is Ceasar’s and give to God what is God’s?

Shouldn’t a prayer to Saint Matthew (Patron Saint of banking) be all that is required?

I see. So those of us who invest in stocks and bonds and such should cancel our positions, and cease making payments to Catholic Charities and the Bishop’s Lenten Appeal?

Gee, I wonder how the Vatican pays its light bills?

Rex is a Catholic, btw.

The document from the Vatican’s Justice and Peace department

Ladies and gentlemen I present to you in a nutshell the problem with the Catholic Church.

So, the Vatican is calling for one of the things necessary to have the one world government seen in Revelation?

Gee, what a great idea...

Someone please tell Pope Benedict that Jesus reformed the tax collectors; he didn’t join them.

Maybe the Vatican’s “Peace and Justice Department” should take a moment and reflect on the idolatry of global dictatorship.

This could place the Roman Catholic Church directly in the line of fire if things turn ugly and violent in the EU.

Having "taken a side" with the overbearing EU bureaucrats, the RCC will be unable to provide any neutral voice when turmoil engulfs Europe, Nationalism returns, and angry citizens are looking for someone/something to punish for their woes.

A very bad decision I think.

“All the socialists of the world unite!”
Really? If the Vatican is really putting forth this idea, that is rather scary.
