Sorry Pope Ben — I’m with you on many issues, but not this one.

As a Catholic, I love the Pope, but this isn't in his bailiwick, IMO.

Pope calls for Antichrist.

...parts of the encyclical appeared bound to upset conservatives because of its underlying rejection of unbridled capitalism and unregulated market forces...Yeah, because conservatives want unbridled capitalism and unregulated market forces.
Suuuure.

Dear Pope,
Stick to religion. On economics you are just an advanced Kool-Aid drinker.

First centralized control of the world economy, then ecumenism. Praise the Lord for truth.

“The pope said every economic decision has a moral consequence and called for “forms of redistribution” of wealth overseen by governments to help those most affected by crises.”
Pope speaks like Dope this time.

Thomas Jefferson was one smart fella with the whole 'Separation of Church and State' idea.
I am guessing this is a money grab by the Vatican. Giving must be down so they want to suckle a little more from the government tit.

Oh brother.
The church does not know how to run things. The last time they did, they made a mess of it.
Benedict should know when to pipe down.
He knows nothing of economics.

Pope Benedict on Tuesday called for a "world political authority" to manage the global economy and for more government regulation of national economies to pull the world out of the current crisis and avoid a repeat. Who drove down interest rates to well below rational market values, forced banks to lend money to anyone with a pulse and was involved in the various loan resellers like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? What do you know, it was the government itself. A tablespoon of poison makes you sick, so a full glass should be fine.
Stick with religion and leave the moneychanging to others.

I will bet anyone here $100 that the Reuters reporter has dramatically misrepresented the encyclical. I have not read it yet, but it absolutely cannot depart from established Catholic doctrine. Catholic doctrine rejects state-controlled, mandatory wealth redistrubition. Read Rerum Novarum for clarity on this.
My guess is that the reporter is cherry picking snipets out of context and is getting a kick out of the thought of ticking off conservatives.
The reporter misses a central theme of the document: the issue of abortion and social justice cannot be separated. You cannot be pro-abortion and be pro-social justice at the same time.

This is from
ReutersReutersReutersI would guess everyone I have pinged above would normally highly suspect something from this wire serve. But since it concerns the Pope, it must be true (saracasm).

If he wants to see Redistribution of wealth, how about the Catholic church starting it with the trillions of dollars in wealth that they control.
