Pope Francis' words seems incoherent to me. On the one hand he speaks of "share(ing) with complete freedom," "gratuitous" giving and so forth --- this is the language of voluntarism and charity --- and then he dumps it all upside-down and talks about the State engaging in "legitimate" income redistribution. Wha...?

And not a word about the liberty-destroying evils of the dirigente State--- let alone a global superstate.

Bafflegab. And of course, it usually amounts to seizing the wages from wage-earners in rich countries, to give it to rich people in poor countries. It's not even good for "the poor." :o/

His words and behaviors make plenty of sense if one "reads Francis through Pascendi Dominici Gregis."
