Oh, good grief.
The Argentinian Pope Francis lectured on economics again on Saturday. Francis said the global economy has “fallen into a sin of idolatry” and is “surviving on the profits of war.”
Francis sounds more and more like a nutty Marxist every day.
The Daily Mail reported:
Pope Francis has launched a scathing attack on the global economic system, warning it is near collapse because of a ‘throwaway culture’ of greed and the ‘atrocity’ of youth unemployment.
The Roman Catholic leader openly blasted the ‘idolatrous’ economy for disregarding the young, which he says has led to shocking levels of youth unemployment and will lead to a lost generation.
The 77-year-old also criticised the economy – which he said had ‘fallen into a sin of idolatry, the idolatry of money’ – for surviving on the profits of war.
The Pope’s damning message came amid comments he made about the break-up of countries such as Scotland and Catalonia, which came as a huge blow to the Scottish Yes campaign.
In an interview with Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia, he said: ‘Our world cannot take it anymore. Our global economic system can’t take any more.
