Well suffice to say, I don’t think the Pope has much impact on economics in the first place. Just throws out some niceties, but in reality, nobody is going to do anything on this just because “the Pope said so.”

Dear dfwgator,

So... what you're saying is that it's okay to talk like an economic illiterate because no one will pay attention to him, anyway.

I disagree. Many leftist scum pseudo-Catholics harshly criticized Paul Ryan in the last election because they were able to paint his free-market reforms of Medicare as being a violation of Catholic social teaching. A majority of Catholics voted for Satan's bitch, and perhaps some of them were influenced by the ability of leftist scum pseudo-Catholics to make the case that Rep. Ryan's proposals were immoral, in Catholic terms.

It would be greatly helpful to have a pope who does not talk like an economic illiterate. As I pointed out, perhaps he's being misquoted or mistranslated, or maybe the lamestream media is making it up of whole cloth. But my hope is that he doesn't tie the travails of the poor to “untrammeled free enterprise,” as nowhere in the world today is there much untrammeled free enterprise to harm the poor or anyone else.
