It makes sense that the Pope wouldn’t understand the workings of capitalism. And I say this as a Catholic. He sticks out an empty hand, and, as if by some miracle, returns it full of cash. If he were to understand that more money extorted from those filling his hand meant that his hand would remain empty, he might give his ideas further thought.
That’s what I was thinking. If he had a few meetings with some good Catholic businessmen and women, they might enlighten him as to where the money comes from for humanitarian projects.
