What bothered me most about what the pope said is that — “unequal distribution of wealth inevitably leads to violence”.

Would violence disappear if everyone had equal wealth? Is it OK to be violent because you are not happy that things are not equal? So what would help violence most? Would not the poor who become violent for lack of wealth also be worshiping money? What would help this problem most? More money? I don’t think so.

This is an underlying belief and assumption of the left -

that if we don’t use force to equalize wealth,
the have-nots will turn violent.

In truth, it’s nearly always some opportunistic power mad evil person that exploits the grievances of the have-nots and turns them violent against civilized society.
