more at the sourcePope Francis called Friday for governments to redistribute wealth to the poor in a new spirit of generosity to help curb the "economy of exclusion" that is taking hold today.
Francis made the appeal during a speech to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the heads of major U.N. agencies who met in Rome this week.
Latin America's first pope has frequently lashed out at the injustices of capitalism and the global economic system that excludes so much of humanity, though his predecessors have voiced similar concerns.
On Friday, Francis called for the United Nations to promote a "worldwide ethical mobilization" of solidarity with the poor in a new spirit of generosity.
He said a more equal form of economic progress can be had through "the legitimate redistribution of economic benefits by the state, as well as indispensable cooperation between the private sector and civil society."
Francis voiced a similar message to the World Economic Forum in January and in his apostolic exhortation "The Joy of the Gospel." That document, which denounced trickle-down economic theories as unproven and naive, provoked accusations in the U.S. that he was a Marxist.
Francis urged the U.N. to promote development goals that attack the root causes of poverty and hunger, protect the environment and ensure dignified labor for all.
"Specifically, this involves challenging all forms of injustices and resisting the economy of exclusion, the throwaway culture and the culture of death which nowadays sadly risk becoming passively accepted," he said.
JP II must be rolling in his grave. He saw what communism was and what it did to people. This guy doesnt have a clue.

Obviously, the nutters are not capable of learning the definition of "Communism".
Instead of trying to list everyone that you believe are "commies", why not save yourselves some time and just list the non-commies?
The list would be a lot shorter.

Do you feel Jesus Christ was a 'commie' too?
We have pitifully damaged individuals here criticizing the Pope because he can clearly see the world while they can't.
Pope Francis is no fool. Faith without works is Dead. Re-distribution by a faithless Government is not the answer.
James 2:14-18
Faith and Deeds
14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, Go in peace; keep warm and well fed, but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
18 But someone will say, You have faith; I have deeds.

Do you feel Jesus Christ was a 'commie' too?
He said, do not store up treasures on earth, and money is from the government, give it back to who made it, it's none of your concern. Your concern, as a Christian, is to be rewarded in Heaven for a life lived well here. It's the faith of a poor man, which you are supposed to be.JP II must be rolling in his grave.

Do you feel Jesus Christ was a 'commie' too?
Did Jesus advocate government forcibly taking stuff from people and giving it to other people? Or did he call on people generously to give of their own free will?
Catholicism was always a heresy. Jesus's parables were always filled with patriotism, and the free market.
