the Pope doesn’t “rap” capitalism. The only guy who’s headlines are twisted more than Bush or Giuliani...

Marxism needs to vanish and capitalism has to have a conscience.

John Allen has given us another exemplary analysis of the Holy Father's address to the Latin American and Caribbean Bishops gathered for the 5th CELAM Conference.

As an aside, it was quite amusing to see that midway through his 9 page, single spaced presentation, he took a breather during which they played the Vatican's National Anthem. After that, he continued with his speech, delivering it partially in Portuguese and in Spanish, with apologies thrown in for any confusion. What an amazing man!

** Benedict called on governments to adopt comprehensive pro-family policies.**

Excellent point.

Ecclesiastical pronouncements on the economy are fond of the phrase “a preferential option for the poor.” It is invoked as the rationale for governmental redistribution of wealth, that is, for a program of taxing earnings away from those who produce in order to subsidize selected groups and individuals. But it is a fact that reshuffling wealth by programs of tax and subsidy merely enriches some at the expense of others; the nation as a whole becomes poorer. Private enterprise capitalism is, in fact, the answer for anyone who really does have a preferential option for the poor. The free market economy, wherever it has been allowed to function, has elevated more poor people further out of poverty faster than any other system. - Biblical Roots of American Liberty

Or rather, G-d is a blind alley in a world without Capitalism.

We have seen the results of a world where people believe in G-d, but there is no capitalism. The result was the Black Death.

“The Marxist system, where it found its way into government, not only left a sad heritage of economic and ecological destruction, but also a painful destruction of the human spirit. And we can also see the same thing happening in the West, where the distance between rich and poor is growing constantly, and giving rise to a worrying degradation of personal dignity through drugs, alcohol and deceptive illusions of happiness.”

Marxism is of the Evil One.

Freedom is from Yah'shua.

Capitalism is a Marxist term to describe Freedom and Liberty.

I wish they wouldn't put the word "rap" and Pope in the same sentence. I got an awful image of the Pope rapping just reading that headline.

“The Marxist system, where it found its way into government, not only left a sad heritage of economic and ecological destruction, but . . . "

Found its way into government?! It is a government system.

I want a recount.

The communistic economic system is fundamentally anti- religion the capitalistic economic system is not fundamentally anti-religion.
