Quote Of The Day

Sorry Pope Francis not agreeing with this.

"Therefore, governments “charged with the vigilance of the common good” must take strong steps to “exercise any form of control,” including redistributive taxes, to stop the march toward a society where “those excluded are no longer its underside or its fringes or its disenfranchised—they are no longer even part of it."

Someone reads Salon, Motherjones and Huffington religiously. Don't excuse the pun.

What does 'any form of control' mean exactly? Like the Spanish Inquisition? Of course, as a Jesuit ( a liberal wing of the Catholic Church) he would like redistributive taxes. His final point is specious at best.

Other than that, I guess the Church can maybe "redistribute" large parts of its fabulously obscene wealth to the disenfranchised. 

If, you know, they were so inclined.
