I don't know. Not sure what form it should take, other than stressing consistent reminder that state-planned and managed economies puts "the state" firmly into role of deciding who winners and losers will be, while on the other hand, free market economy & society is the setting necessary for creation of wealth, and has helped lift people out of poverty.

Free market economies and societies do need to have a conscience towards workers, and to some degree the environment itself also.

Yet for a Latin Church pope to lecture Western cultures for those aspects, is to be leading from behind, at best, in light of the extensive protections already in place in what was once the Protestant dominated "West".

I consider myself a loyal and somewhat devout Catholic but I will not hold back criticism of this Pope. He does not value individual liberty at all, has swallowed the liberation theology hook, line and reel.

Despite his outward humility he seems as petty as Obama.
