Maybe the Pope Supreme should extend his remarks about “goods of the Earth” to “goods of the Catholic church” to be ‘shared’.......he could give up a robe or two or a gold-encrusted mitre or something, couldn’t he? He certainly ain’t broke.
Exactly.
Let the pope start by sharing the art treasures of the Vatican and the money in the Vatican bank.
I could go along with this to a certain extent.
The “goods of the earth” are the resources God provided, where they are.
However, extracting them and making them into something valuable requires effort on the part of someone,
and requiring that effort be “given” is condoning slavery or theft.
