what is Caeser's, render onto God what is God's.
Apparently the Popester didn't read that part of the Scriptures. 
Pope Calls for World Bank |
| The pope just wants one central place where he can do the Scrooge McDuck thing and swim in piles of money. He's tired of doing it in the catacombs under the Vatican... it's too musty smelling and lit by candles. He wants a new facility... lit with fluorescent lights. |

Here's a link to the doc: http://www.radiovaticana.org/EN1/Articolo.asp?c=531752
I'm Catholic and it looks like BS to me. Fortunately, it's not issued by the Pope and not ex cathedra, so I think I'm free to ignore it, which I will. |

From the article:
“The people on Wall Street need to sit down and go through a process of discernment and see whether their role managing the finances of the world is actually serving the interests of humanity and the common good."
The pope has lost his mind. Does he really believe WS goal is for the common good or to make money speculating ? And while we are at it, I agree with the OP, he has failed to "understand". |

No offense to my Catholic friends, but Jesus spoke of things to come when the "men" of God became more concerned with the things of this world and not the next.
Matthew 23 1Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, 2Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: 3All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. 4For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. 5But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, 6And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, 7And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. 8But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
