Pope finds new enemy: Capitalism
While capitalism rarely benefits the poor, Pope Frankie has a lot of nerve speaking out against anything which doesn't help the poor, seeing as how he's the head of a religion that's worth billions and runs its own bank.
I'm waiting to see how much further a rift this will cause between Catholics and conservative Protestants, and even between the church and conservative Catholics.
Quote: The recently elected Pope continued his revitalization of the Church with an outspoken statement against the "new tyranny" of "unfettered capitalism."
"Some people continue to defend trickle-down theories which assume that economic growth,encouraged by a free market, will inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness in the world,"he wrote, in a direct rebuttal of the theory espoused by free-market thinkers that wealth eventually benefits the whole of society.

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
