Today from Pope Francis: “Inequality is the root of social evil.”
Oh my...if the Pope supposedly is infallible, how can he make such a demonstrably false declaration.
When it comes to church doctrine, the Pope is infallible. Saying that "inequality is the root of social evil," may not necessarily be false. Many in the lower socio-economic classes turn to drugs, theft, prostitution, and a number of other "social evils" because of unequal situations.
You present the Pope's comment out of context, so I don't know what his proposed solution to "inequality" is. I also know that coveting what isn't yours, and that making the most of one's talents are also covered somewhere under church doctrine, so I would hope that he's at least consistent with his proposal.
“Inequality is the root of social evil.”
OK. Do away with the church hierarchy.
