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.

Incorrect translation. Should be:

Some people continue to defend trickle-down theories which assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will BY ITSELF succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness in the world.

Pope was showing that an economic policy by itself will not cause the necessary change because there IS a spiritual dimension that is often avoided.

Capitalism has nothing to do with justice. You can lock people up for commiting murder, rape and theft under any economic system. If he’s using “justice” as the standard liberal code word for income redistribution, then that’s Exhibit A in Rush’s corner.

"Pope was showing that an economic policy by itself will not cause the necessary change because there IS a spiritual dimension that is often avoided."

Regurgitated milk for any serious Christian and a large amount of cannon fodder for politicians who will use this Pope's message as a means to control and destroy.

I read this convoluted "mistranslation" or whatever apologist are saying, thinking the water is about to get real muddy over this vague "glass of milk" that has been preached many times over by Holy men. Obama is already "running" with this "mistranslated" convoluted crap and I do mean convoluted crap. The "meat" is in the details and DIRECT examples, the "milk" I picked up in kindergarten by memorizing Deuteronomy 15:11 and pondering Mark 10:21 in a Catholic school.

"How can it be that it is not a news item when an elderly homeless person dies of exposure, but it is news when the stock market loses two points?"--Obama, inspired by the Pope's "mistranslation" to a bunch of "milk drinkers". Then the reprobate drove the inequality bit from the Pope's "mistranslation" all the way home to his mesmorizing followers (While Democrat "Catholics" were further reinforced of their choices in the voting booth).

Without specific details, examples, intellectual reasons, and direct admonishment on the perpetrator's in the Pope's mind, the waters will continue to become muddy while the cannon fodder will be used by the reprobates.
