Pope Criticizes Growing Economic Inequality

Wednesday, 27 November 2013 | by Pat's Picks

In a wide-ranging, populist speech, Pope Francis criticized “trickle down” economic theory warning that an “idolatry of money” would lead to a “new tyranny.” He said trickle down theory has never been proven effective and that it relies on the goodness of those wielding economic power. The Pope also called for greater inclusiveness in the Catholic Church - including more opportunities for women in the Church.
