The Pope has blamed the global economy and the inherent greed in capitalism for unemployment, and says unbridled capitalism is not Christian. What say Sean Hannity and the rest of the "Christian" right wingers about this?
"Io sono stanco, sono imbigliato, and I wan't everyone here to know, there ain't gonna be no trouble from me..Don Corleone..Cicc' a port!"
"I stood in the courtroom like a fool."
"I am Constanza: Lord of the idiots."

Don't try to turn the Pope into some sort of left-winger. He teaches traditional Catholic doctrine (post-Vatican II) with a greater emphasis on some things greater than others.
The radical Left has distorted all free market economics into "greed." Look up what greed really is. A poor person can be just as greedy as a wealthy one. Greed is a selfish excessive desire for something, an unnatural possessiveness. A hoarder is greedy for things. An obese person can be greedy for food. A thief can be greedy for a certain item that belongs to someone else.
Those who became wealthy through hard work and entrepreneurial skills often re-invest their capital to help others. If you've ever seen the show "Shark Tank" you will see a bunch of venture capitalists using their own money and taking risks with it by giving it to someone else to help their business start up. That creates wealth and it creates jobs. It also takes wealth to help charities that help the poor and the needy.
So why don't ask Left-wingers Chris Matthews, Lawrence O'Donnell and Rachel Maddow about that?
