I am catholic and I think the pope should be more worried about saving souls of the earth and not the money........you cannot have 2 masters...
How true. But as Catholics (and Christians) we have been told that it is no good to tell people only of the Word while ignoring their needs for food, shelter, etc. I believe much of this is aimed at the impoverished countries, not just the US.
Have you read the actual encyclical or are you forming your opinions based on a Reuters article?
