Here he is, Francis the Footwasher, holding fast the one with the other, as he does good to humanity.
...on the one hand you could say you have Gordon Gekko over here and over there, Pope Francis, apostolic exother of exhortation. He made critical remarks about the excess of market capitalism. "How can it be that it is not news item when an elderly homeless person dies of exposure but it is news when the stock market loses two points"? He mentions trickle down economics, income gap between rich and poor, self-serving tax evasion, idolatry of money and defied market. He says he loves everyone, rich and poor but points out the rich must do their part to help. It's a fascinating document from the Vatican. The Vatican says, this is, in essence, the pope building on a number of public speeches he's made into one formal public pronouncement. In it he's going right after what he says are the excesses of the current world global market economy.
My religion forbids me to criticize him, or rather, criticize his religion, but when he steps down to the secular, he opens himself up to the truth. Clearly, the man knows nothing. Just another deluded socialist with his Olympian generalities. A man in his position should have spiritual wisdom that presumably comes from acts like kissing a lot of feet. No such luck. So now you know that his feet kissing which I previously trashed as a publicity stunt, had no such bearing. We live in a pathetic era when the worst float to the surface. They should be exposed whether they pretend to come from on high or under toe. |
