So what the bleep is the Popester actually saying? EBT cards for all? Obamaphones according to need? School lunches no matter what? Mortgage free houses? Come on the Vatican: spit out what you actually have in mind.
See post 184, directly above yours.
The Pope is actually being very ambiguous here, as seems to be his MO, allowing multiple interpretations of his words
I’m not Roman Catholic, btw, so I have no religious stake in accepting what the Pope said. I’m very willing to accept, tho, that his use of “legitimate ... economic benefit” as qualifiers to “redistribution” can be seen as an indictment of the kind of crony capitalism endemic to today’s Democrat Party and Liberal/Progressive Movement.
Understanding, of course, that he was really speaking to the kinds of plutocracies rife in the Third World, with any attempt to interpret and apply his words to US/Western free market Capitalism being by nature inexact.
