Pope Francis (Jorge Bergoglio) and Barrack Hussein Obama have much in common - both believe that inequality is the root of all social evil That remark is a direct quote taken from the official Twitter page of Pope Francis.

Pope Francis is also in favor of One World Government.
He thinks anthropogenic climate change is real.
He ties his horse to population control advocates, and atheists alike.
He thinks air conditioners are a luxury that should be curtailed.
He smiles a sh*t eating grin when receiving from a fellow Marxist a sculpture that depicts Jesus Christ crucified on a communist hammer and sickle!
He has no misgivings whatsoever about having openly homosexual clergy run the Vatican Bank, particularly when they are his personal friend and house attendant - even after they have been caught with a boy prostitute ... But then, who am I to judge?
The points you cite about the Pope need to be part of the public debate as to how much free rein this man should be given as to the US society influence. As for me he has little more influence than a bistro bouncer, which by the way he once was.
inequality is the root of all social evil
It is, but not the kind of inequality some might think. When people who try hard see that their efforts mean nothing, and that those who don’t try hard do as well or better, they become demotivated and demoralized. Inequality of effort and sacrifice is often the underpinning of an inequality of outcome.
