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
