I believe the latest analysis of the Pope’s words, at least the one I read, says that a more precise translation is that he takes exception to rampant “consumerism” rather than “capitalism”. This seems more in line with my impression of his earlier statements.

Any HONEST individual would be wise to hold off all comments and at least READ the text before he makes his conclusions. It can be found here:
Now, here’s my challenge to those whose first instinct is to shoot of their mouths ( or keyboards as the case may be )...
Search the entire text and tell me if you find the word “capitalism” in it.
Come on.... DO IT.

BTTT! The truth will eventually come out. Remember how everyone dissed Pope Benedict’s encyclicals too? Just a re=run of things past. The media is will to accept a mis-translation as truth......par for lamestream, that’s for sure.
