On Monday, the Vatican called for creation of a global public authority and a central world bank to regulate the worlds financial institutions. As Reuters reported, The document from the Vaticans Justice and Peace department should please the Occupy Wall Street demonstrators and similar movements around the world who have protested against the economic downturn.
The Vatican got very specific in its recommendations. It condemned the idolatry of the market and called for global wealth redistribution, asking nations of the world to participate in an ethic of solidarity. In a passage that could have been ripped from Marx, the Vatican stated, If no solutions are found to the various problems of injustice, the negative effects that will follow on the social, political and economic level will be destined to create a climate of growing hostility and even violence, and ultimately undermine the very foundation of democratic institutions, even the ones considered most solid.
This is wrongheaded in the extreme. By impoverishing the middle and upper class in order to press for greater fairness, the socialism implicitly supported by this document pushes a utopia of equality in poverty.
But the Vaticans call for a central world bank is telling. It shows where countries that want to cut the U.S. down to size are putting their efforts into multilateral financial schemes.

As Vatican teaching, no.
” Cry me a river. Why dont you stand up for what your religious leaders are doing instead of trying to cover up for them?”
I am simply telling the truth. If you are unable to recognize it, that is your problem. Don’t accuse me of having false motives just because you’re apparently clueless.
Nope. Just reading Revelations tells me that the biggest religious organizations will be the enemy in the end times.
Hasn’t the Vatian got enough to worry about without sticking their noses into Government business.
Schools are closing all over the US, they still have some homo Priests, parish’s are closing up, people are leaving, not enopugh priests, Nuns are rebeling, and the Pope is wanting to start a central bank.
This is not the Pope speaking, as many news sources have pretended. And it is not The Vatican, either. It is a small department within the Vatican.
Frankly, I wish they would shut all this crazy stuff down. But it’s really inconsequential.

“When are you expecting the Pope to disown, and thereby, negate the announcement?”
I’m not. Generally that’s not how the Vatican and popes work.
Wow. That’s deluded.
Yes, Islam, Jehovah’s witnesses, Christian Science, Scientology, Mormon to name a few
You never heard or read the bits about “Tithing”, alms for the poor, etc.?
Much of the Christian bible is very socialist, Marx and Engels were not that original.
“the biggest religious organizations will be the enemy in the end times.”
Congratulations. You just discovered Islam.

You ask that in the Obama era? Aren’t there moral issues in government?
First off, this has nothing to do with the Pope, and Shapiro, who is Jewish, and his editors are guilty of a misleading headline.
The Catholic Church does not support communism or socialism, period.
You would think the actions of Pope John Paul II, who was instrumental in bringing down the USSR, would have made that abundantly clear.
Marx and Engels weren't Catholic.
The Pope, Chaplain to OWS? Rubbish
This brief document from the lower echelons of the Roman Curia no more aligns the Vatican, the Pope, or the Catholic Church with Occupy Wall Street than does the Nicene Creed.
Vatican Calls For Global ... [NOT] Reuters Lies
Vatican Calls for 'Central World Bank' [No it doesn't] CNBC Lies
This does require reading past the lying headlines to real posts which completely refute this bunk.
If the official release was anything other than the Popes view, we would have heard from him already. Get it freddy?
You see religious power & especially theocratical religious power via control over the economy is an evil thing that has consumed the best of men while destroying the best of societies since man was expelled from Eden.
It did not come out of a “Vatican dept.” Educate yourself.
There are a host of “pontifical commissions.” They are filled with academics and some clerics. They have no official status as part of the teaching office. This particular commission is known to be a redoubt of leftists.
It’s like saying that a (fictional) “US Commission on Energy Science and Petroleum Usage” composed of a bunch of professors and industry executives) is the same thing as the Department of Energy.
It’s not.
Nonsense. Sheer nonsense.
If it walks like a duck & quacks like a duck, one can be assured it IS a duck

The muzzies show more respect for the Catholic church than the Protestants.
Please tell us ONE SINGLE POSITIVE THING ACCOMPLISHED by the Protestants.
Other than allowing all kinds of degenerates to go into the JESUS BUSINESS FOR THEMSELVES????
PONTIFICAL COUNCIL FOR JUSTICE AND PEACE
ORIGIN
The Second Vatican Council had proposed the creation of a body of the universal Church whose role would be “to stimulate the Catholic Community to foster progress in needy regions and social justice on the international scene” (Gaudium et Spes, No. 90). It was in reply to this request that Pope Paul VI established the Pontifical Commission “Justitia et Pax” by a Motu Proprio dated 6 January 1967 (Catholicam Christi Ecclesiam).
Two months later, in Populorum Progressio, Paul VI succinctly stated of the new body that “its name, which is also its programme, is Justice and Peace” (No. 5). Gaudium et Spes and this Encyclical, which “in a certain way... applies the teaching of the Council” (Sollicitudo Rei Socialis, No. 6), were the founding texts and points of reference for this new body.
After a ten-year experimental period, Paul VI gave the Commission its definitive status with the Motu Proprio Justitiam et Pacem of 10 December 1976. When the Apostolic Constitution Pastor Bonus of 28 June 1988 reorganized the Roman Curia, Pope John Paul II changed its name from Commission to Pontifical Council and reconfirmed the general lines of its work.
The Obama Government isn’t worried about moral issues, They are busy in their anti-Christian agenda.
Are there moral issues in the Obama Government,=? Let me count the ways.
What one single entity in the world owns more wealth than the Catholic Church?
Where is the fox inside THEIR henhouse?????
