The vocal pivot from such traditional social issues marks the first time U.S. Catholic bishops have publicly asked those seeking the White House to heed the admonitions of Francis' June encyclical, said Bishop Richard Pates of Des Moines. In Francis' major teaching document, the leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics called for a "sweeping revolution" to correct a "structurally perverse" economic system that allows the rich to exploit the poor and has turned the Earth into an "immense pile of filth."

Pope recruits Naomi Klein to fight Climate Change and Capitalism

Naomi Klein has been invited to attend a top level conference at the Vatican, to advise leaders how to fight climate change and dismantle capitalism

http://wattsupwiththat.com/2015/06/28/pope-recruits-naomi-klein-to-fight-climate-change-and-capitalism/

Apparently the pope hates capitalism, and wants to crush capitalism by making countrys so poor they can’t afford to progress any longer- by charging them through the nose for a problem we are NOT causing- Why? Because statistically, poorer countrys are more inclined to go catholic- Swell- harm the world’s population financially to gain converts-
