Pope Francis urged a more humane global system that respects the poor and the environment, as he criticized the economic order, in an address to the United Nations on Friday.

The pontiff, whose reform-minded approach has won him a rousing global following even from non-believers, offered his vision of a better world on his latest stop of a US tour that has brought thousands to the streets to welcome him.

Taking the UN rostrum, the leader of the world’s more than one billion Catholics called for reform to global bodies, including the UN Security Council and financial lenders, to “limit every kind of abuse and usury.”

In a wide-ranging speech, Francis touched on an array of hot-button topics, including the persecution of Christians, the Iran nuclear deal, drug trafficking—“silently killing millions”—and the rights of girls to an education. …

Wow, Jesus had it all wrong about changing the world

He should have gone up to Rome and addressed the Roman Senate, posed with Caesar and all

Pope calls on UN to change the world

The UN could start by knocking down the wall around the Vatican so immigrants could get in.

When Liberals, Communists, Islamists and the ever power-grabbing UN cheers the pope, and vice versa, we have a problem.

...including the UN Security Council and financial lenders, to “limit every kind of abuse and usury.”

Si. Si, Il Papa. By all means, let's LIMIT abuse and usury.

How much abuse and usury do you find acceptable?

Speaking as a Catholic, his Holiness has great authority on ecclesiastical matters. On secular matters, he speaks with as much authority as the revvrum sharpton. And with about the same amount of credibility.

The Vatican bankers are above reproach

I’m Certain that HE would have received a Very Warm Reception?

[luvbach1]

Oh yeah! The UN can do it. That’s the ticket!

[pepsionice]

I always thought twenty-seven percent of abuse was acceptable. Also, abuse by Catholic priests is usually forgivable....as the Pope has often hinted. Isn’t the topic of abuse kinda like carbon credits?

[Jane Austen]

I agree. And to think it was Boehner who invited this Marxist pope to speak. Somebody posted that fear of fallout from this invitation factored into his decision to resign. I personally thing the resignation had more to do with some potential personal scandal.

[Texas Eagle]

Ah, yes. We must reduce our Usury Footprint.

Perhaps wealthier countries could sell Usury Credits to poorer countries. At a discount, of course. I mean, after all, they're poorer countries. They can't afford the going rate.

Oh. I know. The poorer countries could sell their Usury Credits to the wealthier countries and thereby no long be poor.

Wait. I'm getting confused.

[ETL]

There's that magic word "Change" again.
