It’s amazing to me that as soon as the Pope talks money, Rush Limbaugh sits up and takes notice. The Pope can have whatever opinion he wants on the economy. He isn’t an economist and doesn’t set economic policies or enact economic laws. He is wrong on this, but what can he do about it? Obama surely isn’t going to listen to the Pope. He got rid of the Vatican embassy in Washington. The socialist leaders in this world do not usually have much reverence for the Pope.
You’re far too rational for this thread. Try beating your chest and denouncing the pope as a Marxist. You’ll fit in just fine with that red-meat sort of camouflage. While you’re at it, be sure to not actually read the document (like others in this thread) and to assume you know exactly what the pope means. Oh, and one more thing, forget about the whole idea of charity and responsibility for your fellow man. You know, those outmoded Christian ideas that just won’t fit into any thread like this. I’m just saying. . .
It is the people who do have reverence for the Pope that will be misled
He’s commented several times on this pope. It’s been pretty favorable stuff, IIRC.
