“When the Pope uses the word “legitimate”, why is that not interpreted as in accordance with the mosaic law?”
Because in the same sentence, he wants GOVERNMENTS to do the redistributing:
“by the LEGITIMATE redistribution of economic BENEFITS by the State”
Do you know of a Godly government, devoted to Christ? Me neither.
Perhaps the Pope is implying that the current redistribution system is illegitimate. Especially since in many cases that redistribution is not done "freely."
My point is that the AP took two words from the speech - redistribution and legitimate, and then added their own word - wealth. If we are going to criticize the Pope, I think we should criticize what he actually said instead of the stuff the AP makes up for him.
In addition, why are these remarks considered aimed at the G7 countries. Perhaps the target of his remarks are places like North Korea, Venezuela, Myanmar, Syria, or any other place where the populations are truly poor and oppressed?
