Read what it really says. Don’t believe the lamestream media.

I’ll read what it really says, but it’s clear prior popes have embraced leftist economics.

Thanks, Salvation.

I suspect the controversial text is related to the following:

In relation to the challenges of the contemporary world, the Pope denounces the current economic system as “unjust at its root”. “Such an economy kills” because the law of “the survival of the fittest” prevails. The current culture of the “disposable” has created “something new”: “the excluded are not the ‘exploited’ but the outcast, the ‘leftovers’”. “A new tyranny is thus born, invisible and often virtual”, of an “autonomy of the market” in which “financial speculation” and “widespread corruption” and “self-serving tax-evasion reign”.

Tax evasion is of course illegal and wrong -- the evasion becomes the burden to others. But I'm still curious about the intended message.
