"Some people continue to defend trickle-down theories, which assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness in the world," he wrote."
"the Pope takes aim at the rich and corporate world for pursuing "self-serving tax evasion," and called on political leaders to adopt financial reforms that lift up the lower classes"

"In it, economic inequality features as one of the issues Francis is most concerned about, and the 76-year-old pontiff calls for an overhaul of the financial system and warns that unequal distribution of wealth inevitably leads to violence.
Denying it was simple populism, he called for action "beyond a simple welfare mentality" and added: "I beg the Lord to grant us more politicians who are genuinely disturbed by the state of society, the people, the lives of the poor."
Since his election, Francis has set an example for austerity in the Church, living in a Vatican guest house rather than the ornate Apostolic Palace, traveling in a Ford Focus, and last month suspending a bishop who spent millions of euros on his luxurious residence."
PAPAL SUPPORT FOR:
SOCIALISM, COLLECTIVISM, TAXATION,
CENTRALIZED GOVERNMENT, DICTATORSHIPS,
STATISM, AND REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH
THOUGH ROME'S "CHARITIES"
From Ralph Ovadal of Pilgrims Covenant Church, Monroe, Wisconsin www.pccmonroe.org:
Nothing New Here!
"As the saying goes, “nothing new here.” These remarks of the man currently filling the office of Antichrist are standard and completely consistent with centuries-old socialist teachings of popery, going back at least to Thomas Aquinas. It works for Rome to have governments heavily tax the citizens of the nation and then redistribute the take to a growing welfare class, including through huge grants to the Roman Catholic Church for “charity” work. The bishops of a country such as America lobby and lean hard on the legislatures, state and federal, to “redistribute” what hard-working people make. This way, Rome is seen as the compassionate champion of the poor and wins support from the statists, the well-meaning ignorant, the “progressives” among us, the welfare industry, and the welfare receivers. Meanwhile, Rome hoards her own unbelievably vast wealth, keeping it to herself. A benefit vitally important to Rome is that strongly centralized governments, which welfare states always become and must be, are in the favor of Rome in that it is much easier for her to control a small governing elite than a nation of free men and women with a limited government of laws, not men. (The Coming (Phoney) War between Barack and Benedict and New Evangelicals and the Papal Fable)"

The Vatican still holds vast treasures that have yet to be returned to the poor!

POPE: 'AUTHENTIC' ISLAM OPPOSES VIOLENCE:
Near the end of the papal "exhortation" also included is the following:
“Our relationship with the followers of Islam has taken on great importance, since they are now significantly present in many traditionally Christian countries, where they can freely worship and become fully a part of society,” he says. “We must never forget that they ‘profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, who will judge humanity on the last day.’” Francis says the “sacred writings of Islam have retained some Christian teachings; Jesus and Mary receive profound veneration and it is admirable to see how Muslims both young and old, men and women, make time for daily prayer and faithfully take part in religious services.” “Many of them also have a deep conviction that their life, in its entirety, is from God and for God,” he says.Francis says Christians “should embrace with affection and respect Muslim immigrants to our countries.”“Faced with disconcerting episodes of violent fundamentalism, our respect for true followers of Islam should lead us to avoid hateful generalizations, for authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Quran are opposed to every form of violence.”
He also calls for outreach to non-Christians and
“Some people continue to defend trickle-down theories which assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness in the world. This opinion, which has never been confirmed by the facts, expresses a crude and naïve trust in the goodness of those wielding economic power and in the sacralized workings of the prevailing economic system. Meanwhile, the excluded are still waiting.”
Inequality, he said, “spawns violence.”
“It is evident that unbridled consumerism combined with inequality proves double damaging to the social fabric. Inequality eventually engenders a violence which recourse to arms cannot and never will be able to resolve.”
He also advocates global management.
“Each meaningful economic decision made in one part of the world has repercussions everywhere else; consequently, no government can act without regard for shared responsibility,” he says.
“Indeed, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find local solutions for enormous global problems which overwhelm local politics with difficulties to resolve. If we really want to achieve a healthy world economy, what is needed at this juncture of history is a more efficient way of interacting which, with due regard for the sovereignty of each nation, ensures the economic well-being of all countries, not just of a few.”
