Pope Francis Just Had Another Epic Economics Rant

rant is a little to right wing telling it like it is, more appropriate.

RANT: speak or shout at length in a wild, impassioned way.
"she was still ranting on about the unfairness of it all"

The news: There's no time for a victory lap. Just one day after being named TIME magazine'sPerson of the Year, Pope Francis took the first peace message of his pontificate to bemoan the severe wealth disparity plaguing the world — proving once again he's not afraid of broaching economic topics during his papacy. 

Francis denounced the growing income inequality found throughout the world’s economies, citing "the widening gap between those who have more and those that must be content with crumbs."

He called it one of "the grave financial and economic crises of the present time" and said the income gap has distorted "security in consumption and earnings out of all proportion to the principles of a sound economy."

out of curiosity those right wing Catholics do you hold fast to your republican "PRINCIPLES formerly know as "VALUES" or do you follow you Popes values?

it seems he's been going through the platform with a steam shovel so has your party been correct all these decades or are they deserve his attacks.

Francis went after the specific pitfalls he sees in the world's capitalistic economies, including the trickle-down system, which he said "expresses a crude and naïve trust in the goodness of those wielding economic power"; "widespread corruption and self-serving tax evasion"; and even growing inequality, in an economy "where the powerful feed upon the powerless."

All in all, Francis called the current state of capitalism a "profound human crisis." He's been outspoken and adamant on issues of the economy, so it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that now he's specifically taking on income inequality.

Why this matters: Well, it matters because he's right. Income inequality is indeed a huge problem around the world and here in the United States — so much so that President Barack Obama recently dedicated an entire speech to the matter. On Dec. 4, the president outlined a clear vision of inequality in America:

"The combined trends of increased inequality and decreasing mobility pose a fundamental threat to the American dream, our way of life, and what we stand for around the globe," he said.

all i can say is i love this guy, Pope Frankie got it like that.God Bless him and his endeavors to bring real religion back.
