some thoughts (pope francis)

 
FRANCIS SPOKE OUT AGAINST THE INDIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD TODAY. PEOPLE DIE OF COLD IN THE STREETS BECAUSE OF THIS INDIFFERENCE: “IF IN SO MANY PARTS OF THE WORLD THERE ARE CHILDREN WHO HAVE NOTHING TO EAT, THAT'S NOT NEWS, IT SEEMS NORMAL. IT CANNOT BE THIS WAY! YET THESE THINGS BECOME THE NORM: THAT SOME HOMELESS PEOPLE DIE OF COLD ON THE STREETS IS NOT NEWS. IN CONTRAST, A TEN POINT DROP ON THE STOCK MARKETS OF SOME CITIES IS A TRAGEDY. A PERSON DYING IS NOT NEWS, BUT IF THE STOCK MARKETS DROP TEN POINTS IT IS A TRAGEDY! THUS PEOPLE ARE DISPOSED OF, AS IF THEY WERE TRASH. CONSUMERISM HAS LED US TO BECOME USED TO AN EXCESS AND DAILY WASTE OF FOOD, TO WHICH, AT TIMES, WE ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO GIVE A JUST VALUE, WHICH GOES WELL BEYOND MERE ECONOMIC PARAMETERS,” (POPE FRANCIS)
 
 
 
 
ONE OF THE MOST PERSISTENT HERESIES ESPECIALLY IN MODERN TIMES IS THE SEPARATION OF FAITH FROM DAILY LIFE
 
IT INFECTS EVERYONE FROM CLERICS HIDING PEDERASTY, POLITICIANS WHO PUT BEING REELECTED OVER MORAL JUDGMENTS, DOWN TO YOU AND I
 
 
AN ECONOMIST HAS SAID IN RESPONSE TO THE POPE’S STATEMENT
THAT CAPITALISM CAN CURE POVERTY
I ASK IF THAT IS SO WHY DOES IT STILL EXIST
IS IT BECAUSE OF LACK OF WILL.
 
 
THOSE IN CHARGE ARE COMMITTED TO THE WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE.
 
ALL OF US ARE DESTINED TO ASK THE QUESTION
WHEN WERE YOU HUNGRY
NAKED OR POOR
 
CAN WE LIVE WITH THE ANSWER
