’Not to share wealth with poor is to steal’: Pope slams capitalism as ’new tyranny’

Nov 26, 2013 By Henrik Palmgren | redice.tv

That’s Rich!

Says Pope Francis on capitalism: "A new tyranny is thus born, invisible and often virtual, which unilaterally and relentlessly imposes its own laws and rules [...]To all this we can add widespread corruption and self-serving tax evasion, which has taken on worldwide dimensions. The thirst for power and possessions knows no limits"

Outrageously hypocritical words from the head of a vast enterprise of wealth accumulation. Need we revisit the golden thrones and jeweled finery - the 15 BILLION dollars in ill gotten gains from centuries of violence, extortion, corruption, control, and manipulation?

[...]There is no doubt, however, that between the church’s priceless art, land, gold and investments across the globe, it is one of the wealthiest institutions on Earth.

Since 313 A.D., when Catholicism became the official religion of the Roman Empire, its power has been in near-constant growth.

The church was able to acquire land, most notably the Papal States surrounding Rome, convert pagan temples and claim relics for itself. Over 300 years, it became one of Europe’s largest landowners.

For the next thousand years, tithes and tributes flowed in from all over Europe. Non-Christians and even fellow Christians were killed and their property confiscated. For example, the Fourth Crusade and the sack of Constantinople in the early 13th century brought it gold, money and jewels.

According to ’humble’ Pope Francis, working hard and earning from your work is theft? And those ’stolen goods’ should be removed from you and given to another in fairness?

Fine. Let us enter the Vatican, and begin the redistribution he calls for.

The Vatican and the Roman Catholic church has ever twisted ethics and politics to suit their needs. And apparently they can see the winds of change towards the IDEA of socialist egalitarianism without letting people in on the reality of what that brings... or who really pays in the end.

From: RT

Pope Francis has taken aim at capitalism as "a new tyranny" and is urging world leaders to step up their efforts against poverty and inequality, saying "thou shall not kill" the economy. Francis calls on rich people to share their wealth.

The existing financial system that fuels the unequal distribution of wealth and violence must be changed, the Pope warned.

"How can it be that it is not a news item when an elderly homeless person dies of exposure, but it is news when the stock market loses two points?" Pope Francis asked an audience at the Vatican.

The global economic crisis, which has gripped much of Europe and America, has the Pope asking how countries can function, or realize their full economic potential, if they are weighed down by the debts of capitalism.

“A new tyranny is thus born, invisible and often virtual, which unilaterally and relentlessly imposes its own laws and rules,” the 84-page document, known as an apostolic exhortation, said.

"To all this we can add widespread corruption and self-serving tax evasion, which has taken on worldwide dimensions. The thirst for power and possessions knows no limits", the pope’s document says.
