Pope Francis is not looking to end capitalism, but rather send a message to the world that everyone can do more for his neighbor.

I believe in leadership by example. When the church empties its expansive treasuries, THEN they'll have the moral authority to speak on this topic.

Until then, nothing but hollow words.

As the writer said, everyone can do more for his neighbor.

It was a sad turn to see this Pope speak to governments, that in most cases rule their societies, and encourage their theft and give it rationalizing justification.

“Expansive treasures”? You mean like selling the Vatican library? auctioning the Pieta,” renting the Sistine Chapel?

Exactly what a Liberal would say.

And the Church does have the moral authority regardless of your contempt.
