Pope Urges 'Legitimate Redistribution' Of Wealth
« on: May 10, 2014, 02:40:18 pm »
Look to the government not to the (poor) church for your needs!

 Pope Francis called Friday for governments to redistribute wealth and benefits to the poor in a new spirit of generosity to help curb the "economy of exclusion" that is taking hold today.

Francis made the appeal during a speech to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the heads of major U.N. agencies who met in Rome this week.

Latin America's first pope has frequently lashed out at the injustices of capitalism and the global economic system. On Friday, Francis called for the United Nations to promote a "worldwide ethical mobilization" of solidarity with the poor.

The pope lives a humble life like Christ.

And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. (Matthew 8:20 KJV)

The church should start by melting down its gold and giving it to
the poor.
BTW doesn't the woman in Rev 17 drink from a gold cup?
