Openness to life is at the center of true development

Any economic system that does not promote the intrinsic value and right to life of the individual human person regardless of his or her economic value is intrinsically immoral.

The acceptance of life strengthens moral fiber and makes people capable of mutual help

Only a society in which the individual human person is valued regardless of his or her economic value can be said to be moral, or, indeed, to be a society.

They can promote virtuous action within the perspective of production that is morally sound and marked by solidarity, respecting the fundamental right to life of every people and individual

Any economic system that in centered solely upon the individual and his or her personal profit is intrinsically immoral. Economic systems that combine free enterprise with the recognition that all human beings have a duty towards one another as children of God can be said to be moral.

See? It's not that hard if you look up the big words.

Just what kind of economic system is being referred to?

How can an economic system be geared to profit just one individual?

Could it mean what Karl referred to? Or Obama? Take from me, so I won't be profiting personally from my efforts and give to Joe Couch Potato, or to the Somalis?

I believe the entire article was written in a poor attempt to moderate the pontiff's more positive stance on world government in his encyclical written several months ago.

Have you read that? I have.
