“In a major address to the European Parliament in Strasbourg, Pope Francis called for a Europe “which revolves not around the economy, but around the sacredness of the human person.” “
This is, in fact, the very ESSENCE of their problem!!!
They are man-centered and not God-centered.
I guess the Pope is encouraging them to step on the gas and race the car off the cliff!
They are man-centered and not God-centered.”
I agree. The economy is a neutral concept. It sounds like the Pope wants to change the way nations operate. I wonder who the Pope has in mind to distribute the wealth of Europe to the sacred humans. The Church?? The government???
......there are still too many situations in which human beings are treated as objects whose conception, configuration and utility can be programmed, and who can then be discarded when no longer useful, due to weakness, illness or old age,” the Pope continued.
The "elderly and haggard" comment is a reference to Europe's love affair with contraception and abortion and its ageing, demographic population disaster.
