The spirit of the “Mitbestimmung” [Co-determination], the German Business Model in which workers at the ThyssenKrupp Steel Plant, have a say in the running of the company, including seats on the board. What happened to that spirit? The color of money and the taste of the good life, thats what happened! As Karl Marx said; Capitalism Corrupts...whether you like him, hate him, or dont care either way...he was right. Pope Francis voiced the Bishop of Terni-Narni-Amelias words. Francis called for the logic of Solidarity and Justice...over the logic of Profit. In the words of Ronald Reagan, There he goes again!!...the Right sure doesnt like Pope Francis...Limbaugh shouldnt be too far behind, before his big fat mouth starts spewing more horseshit about his new favorite Marxist Communist, as Rush calls him. Or the Anti-Christ, as most Social Conservative Christians...and Conservative Catholics...say. The Popes problem with todays Conservative Christianity, it is said; that he cares for the Poor, doesnt believe that any human being should go hungry, they shouldnt go homeless...have a place where you can live with dignity. He also cares too much about the sick and infirmed. Feeding the hungry? Healing the sick? Helping the Poor? Sheltering the Homeless?...sounds too much like Jesus Christ...and they dont like that. What does he know about Jesus Christ?...besides the fact of being Gods official representative on this earth? They also say, that he believes in equal justice for all...and specially economic justice...hes statement on capitalism didnt go too well with Social Conservatism; Thou shalt not kill’ sets a clear limit in order to safeguard the value of human life, today we also have to say ‘thou shalt not’ to an economy of exclusion and inequality” ~~ Pope Francis I As Shaun Wallace said recently in an article, Francis is a force for change, and a powerful voice for those who need a voice. It concludes; This is what really upsets and scares the right, the elite and the fundamentalists so much about this Pope. By being himself, and acting with the humility and the humbleness of Jesus, hes exposing the fraudulence of Social Conservative Christianity...with just some simple words and a kind smile.
