Actually, saswportas and trapped, the Pope is not a "Marxist5" and did not "bash" "capitalism," he just said that the trickle-down theory does not, "por si’ mismo" (Spanish)… "di per se" (Italian)… on other words, "by itself" ... promote economic inclusion for the poor. And that's true.

All Christians know that no "system" can exclude the need for charity and voluntary philanthropy by individuals, families, churches, church-related institutions, non-profits, and other organizations who try to support the elderly and disabled, equip people for the work force, etc. etc.

The important words here were "por si mismo" -- "by itself." Without charity and without the Gospel.

Non-market forces, such as laws to curb the activities of fraudsters and banksters, monetary manipulation, money-laundering, illegal trade in drugs, prostitution, human trafficking, insider trading, ponzi schemes, etc. --- plus the impact of non-market exchanges via charitable giving and philanthropy --- will always be needed, because "trickle down" doesn't produce opportunity and inclusion all . by . itself .

Be careful that you don't accept a Marxist spin on this, which is the one ultimately promoted by the Soros groups

May I then suggest the Vatican hire a new interpretor?

Who were they using? The same guy who did the sign language at Mandela’s funeral?

I posted this on another thread some time ago. Deserves repeating:

Put a Marxist in charge of the Roman church, the Catholic FReepers cover for him at every step, they do it all the time on the RF. Whatever political conservatism they might have goes out the window it seems, it apparently doesn’t mean diddly to a Catholic.

Taking a look at their history, it is understandable. Catholics were totalitarian tyrants from the day they sold their souls to the Roman emperor Constantine, continuing as Roman empire tyrants until the modern era put an end to it (thank God). Marxism is not such a bad thing to people of such a totalitarian bent. No wonder you have no problem with this Marxist Pope.
