This is the kind of tripe that continues to give truth to the claim that the Vatican is socialist.

"Special interests and the demands of the market frequently predominate over concern for the common good"
The common good includes removing all of the homosexuals and pedophiles from the ranks of the priesthood. The Pope doesn't seem too interested in doing this and returning the Catholic Church a little credibility. Instead, he (or his controllers) seem intent on changing the subject.

A spiritual monarch favors regulating global governance (socialism). Maybe he should regulate pedophile priests inside his own church before he asks us to listen to such drivel.

Just because the Pope isn't a free-market purist automatically makes him a socialist? You may think what he is advocating it is socialism, but it is not. It seems that some people that anything that isn't a pure market system is "socialism." That is absurd. Russell Kirk, one of the founding fathers of the conservative movement, was no socialist, but he was also a critic of American consumerism. He is just warning that materialism is a selfish ideology.
The Pope is concerned for the good of humanity. The way globalization has been going has not been completely good morally. People with short memories may forget that the Pope was a major figure in the destruction of the Soviet Evil Empire. He sees that communism is evil. The Church also teaches that socialism, modernism, and communism are systems that are contrary to Church teaching. So the Pope is coming from that world view. There are plenty of conservatives who aren't completely libertarian (small "l") or objectivist in thought when it comes to the market, but their conservative credentials aren't questioned for the most part. The way some of these market purists are acting, they would be condemning Jesus for being a "socialist."

Globalization and the market are the best tools developed yet to promote the welfare of the common people. Rather than breaking up families through immigration, it permits moving the work to where the workers are. The elvated salaries which come from working productively for the world economy lift all the people willing to work through out the world.
Those are the facts. Facts do not convince these people.
Of course, the notion that the True God would chose to work through a bureaucracy of sexually repressed perverts make the idea of logic and fact irrelevent.

Actually, instead of pedophiles, most of the offenders have been predatory homosexuals. The difference is important to some people, especially liberal media types who don't want to offend homosexuals.

With his enemic response to the sexual abuse scandals, his shortsighted and in the final analysis coldhearted support of Saddam's regime, and now this simpleminded anti-capitalist stance with regard to the globalization of markets, the Pope has shown in the last two years that a great figure in history can lose the qualities that made him great and outstay his usefulness on the world stage.
It almost seems that in his dotage, with his mental faculites greatly dulled, the Pope has come under the influence of some of the blacker elements in the Curia.

Thanks for the support. I'm just getting sick of some people who always have their "free market blinders" on. They often senselessly attack people who look at the market in a moral fasion. It gets absurd at times.

Global Good...An anachronism for "Elitist" There is never global good except for a few and guidance from the international community is another misnomer for bottom-less-pit to nowhere. a-la United Nations. The Pope has been misled - again.

When's the last time the Pope had anything good to say about the free market? I can't recall, it's been so long.
He's also been on an "anti-US" jag of late, what with his opposition to the war on Iraq, this tweaking of capitalism, and his feeble response to Castro's latest outrages with his "we will continue to pursue democracy in Cuba."
I really don't think John Paul is calling the shots any more; instead he's reading the rants of Euro cardinals who deplore the United States.
