“not had time to study them well”
He’s had many decades to study economics and hasn’t. What are the odds he won’t catch up in a week? He is typical of most from Catholic institutions.
DePaul has a good econ prof. But he is rare. One centuries long mistake is confusing what Jesus and the Bible tell Christians to do with forcibly imposing that religious practice on everyone through government.
A second mistake that is becoming increasingly common is the religion of Cain. Cain wanted to avoid answering God’s question. So Cain came up with Satan’s theology.
No, I am not my brother’s keeper. I am my brother’s brother. There is a big difference. They “keep” pets, prisoners, zoos, slaves, plantation dwellers. That is not the Christian way of relating to one’s brother.
You seem to have misunderstood the comment. He was addressing a question by someone regarding comments made recently in the US.
“I have heard that some criticisms were made in the United States
When the pope addresses a topic, it is on a global level. We, as Americans, then interpret them locally, in terms of our culture. This often results in a misinterpretation. For example, in addressing abuse of the environment, it is necessary to contrast the situation of starving christians in Syria with those western communities where there is a great waste of food. Again, the pope speaks globally, not locally.
