To: what's up
I wonder what kind of "policies" the Pope envisions to "guarantee access" to capital, services, healthcare etc.

In a perfect world, there would be someone perfect to evenly spread the wealth. In this country it's best to let those who earn the wealth divide it as they see fit.

Now take heaven and hell. People are divided by giving them their just deserts. Those who were evil and violated God's law get the punishment.
People who were good get to go to heaven.
There is no mention of equally dividing the rewards of devoting your life to God with the evil people who chose to not apply their efforts to God.

I think of it as heaven and hell here on earth. You reap what you sow. With charity for those who through no fault of their own find themselves in need.

If this were true nobody would get to heaven. I try to live a Godly life and the longer I walk on a Christian path the more I realize that the last thing I want is for God to give me what I deserve. I need a Savior. And God, in his grace, has given me one. God has promised to treat me as Jesus' deserves and to wash away my sin. It is the only hope, but a hope available to anyone if they will only reprent and accept Jesus with all their heart.

“In this country it’s best to let those who earn the wealth divide it as they see fit.”

And how much of their wealth do you think they are going to divide? I’m not for the gov’t breaking the economic cookie equally to everyone, but if you give the wealthy a complete free hand to write the rules the vast majority are going to be a whole lot poorer.
