Who does this Pope think he is.....
I'm no Pope fan usually but I'm starting to like this guy....
Quote:
The popes have spoken of human ecology, closely linked to environmental ecology. We are living in a time of crisis: we see this in the environment, but above all we see this in mankind ... Man is not in charge today, money is in charge, money rules. God our Father did not give the task of caring for the earth to money, but to us, to men and women: we have this task! Instead, men and women are sacrificed to the idols of profit and consumption: it is the 'culture of waste.'

"If you break a computer it is a tragedy, but poverty, the needs, the dramas of so many people end up becoming the norm. If on a winter’s night, here nearby in Via Ottaviano, for example, a person dies, that is not news. If in so many parts of the world there are children who have nothing to eat, that's not news, it seems normal. It cannot be this way! Yet these things become the norm: that some homeless people die of cold on the streets is not news. In contrast, a ten point drop on the stock markets of some cities, is a tragedy. A person dying is not news, but if the stock markets drop ten points it is a tragedy! Thus people are disposed of, as if they were trash."
I hope he has a court taster because someone is going to try to poison this dude.

Well, it's about time. I'll bet some people are seething over this sort of crazy talk, as it doesn't fit their twisted, "Greed is Good" narrative.

It is refreshing to hear this. The Church and its members should set the bar for compassion in their words and, more importantly, their actions. Of course, money has ruled inside the Vatican for many years.

I remember Archbishop Oscar Romero
He was shot while celebrating mass.
