Will Conservatives Call Pope Benedict A Socialist?
Maybe the GOP will start running ads against the Pope too. It will be interesting to read the conservatives Catholics perspective on this idea from Ratz…given the high regard the Pope receives from this segment of the nation. I think his overall themes are correct, but a “world political authority” is well……….probably not an idea that will jell anytime soon. Should I assume the Pope will be the grand leader in this new undertaking, and that women need not apply?
….Benedict sketches a radically different world economy, in which access to food and water is a universal right, wealthy nations share with poorer ones and profit is not the ultimate goal of commerce. He advocates the creation of a “world political authority” to manage the economy.
He blames “badly managed and largely speculative financial dealing” for causing the economic meltdown. The primary capital to be safeguarded is people, he says, adding that economic systems need to be guided by charity and truth.
