Francis Denounces Idolatry of Money...

CAGLIARI, Sardinia -- Pope Francis denounced what he called big business's idolatry of money over man as he traveled Sunday to one of Italy's poorest regions to offer hope to the unemployed and entrepreneurs struggling to hang on.

Francis left aside his prepared remarks and spoke off the cuff to thousands of people in Sardinia's capital, telling them he knew well what it was like to suffer from financial crisis. He recalled that his Italian parents, who immigrated to Argentina before he was born, spoke about it often at home.

"My young father went to Argentina full of illusions of making it in America," a somber Francis told the crowd at the start of a daylong visit to the island. "And he suffered the terrible crisis of the 1930s. They lost everything. There was no work."

He said it's easy for a priest to come and tell the poor to have courage, but that he really meant it. Amid shouts of "Lavoro! Lavoro!" (Work! Work!), Francis called for a dignified work for all.

"Excuse me these are strong words, but I speak the truth," Francis said. "Where there is no work, there is no dignity."

You sad little moron. I highlighted the key point of his message, which clearly went over your little pea brained head.

Work, not welfare, promoted human dignity...but you'd rather have a nanny state with dry crusts distributed by your overlords.

I was at lunch today.
Cardinal O Mally at the next table. With 6 other clergy.

Money is the way to pay for a nice lunch.

American RC clergy is a special separate issue.
But what would you expect from the ones who support the dimocrap party?

Welfare is not so bad when the state practices subsidiarity when implementing it.

But since it is so often used as a means to expand the scope and power of government, it has wrongly become associated with communism and radical socialism in the minds of many people.

The pope and RCC denouncing the idolatry of money is like the mafia denouncing the idolatry of extortion.

The Roman Catholic Church does not have the liquid funds you seem to think they have. Most of their wealth is in the form of historical artifacts that they will not sell, so the RCC, with all its obligations, has little discretionary spending.

Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

According to an article by David Leigh in the Guardian newspaper, a 2012 report from the Council of Europe identified the value of a section of the Vatican's property assets as an amount in excess of €680m (£570m); as of January 2013, a papal official in Rome named Paolo Mennini manages this portion of the Holy See's assets—consisting of British investments, other European holdings and a currency trading arm.

A sovereign state with about a billion dollars in assets is piddling. Out US government blows through twice that each day, easily.

The taigs are generally liberal , that is true.

He was very pleasant mind.
So was the domestic killer Ted Kennedy though.

Or like the liberal fanatics denouncing political violence!!!
Dozy fanatic of the Obamacult!!!

Why do christians feel the constant need to lie?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Pope Francis is a fucking moron.

That kind of stupidity is why I'll never take the RCC seriously

Let me know when the Vatican foregoes the freedom that comes with having funds

If a fanatical liberal totalitarian of the Obamacult tells me the Christians are lying, I might just head down the nearest papist mosque and find out for me sen.

It might be real after all, that dog who had a puppy, who was a carpenter and his mother was verging on the ridiculous whilst dating a simpleton who was delightful slashing in the corn whilst slating philipinos with the ass bone of a Jew!!
Find out next sabathunday at synasepulcre!!

 

[Alfalfa]

Hmmm, huh?

Anyway, the "Patrimony of the Apostolic See" is the PERSONAL bank account and assets of the Pope, not the CC.

It's like saying "The CEO of GM is worth 20 million so the total net worth of GM is 20 million".

The fact that THE POPE is personally worth close to 1 billion should tell you something about how much the entire CC is worth. In 1965 is was estimated at 10-15 billion, today it would be 75-100 billion.

But the guy posts that lie above because he pretty sure NO ONE will know what the "Patrimony blah blah blah" is...well except for an ex-catholic...heheh.

It's not just "big business". Our entire culture's idolatry of money over the last few decades was largely responsible for the Meltdown, from Wall Street to Main Street and everywhere in between.

Politicians can't say this, of course, since doing so would cost them their precious fundraising dollars (ironically) and votes.

Prove where I lied, fraud.

I give links backing up my claims, and you just run your fucking pie hole, bitch.

Except that these are separate diocese and not part of a monolithic business, idiot. Each diocese has control of its own resources and the same goes for the monestaries and other institution within the Catholic Church. They are 'within' the Catholic church because they share the same faith, not because they are owned by Rome, you stupid fucktard.
