Being foggy about causes but clear about effects can cause confusion all right. Where is the gospel supposed to get a grip in this picture, and how? It might be the intention to get it in there grass roots rather than as a government dictum, but unless Francis actually says so, it’s going to be taken wrong. That’s the bent of the age.
I do believe this adorable man (Pope Francis) has in the press led with his naivety and based his opinion on his own experience in Argentina.
His innocence has gotten him rolled but good.
I give him time to recover from comments that offend the facts, as pertain to markets and economic philosophies, and lead more with educated reserve on such subjects beyond his expertise.
