Pope Benedict XVI called Tuesday for a new world financial order guided by ethics, dignity and the search for the common good in the third encyclical of his pontificate.

In “Charity in Truth,” Benedict denounced the profit-at-all-cost mentality of the globalized economy and lamented that greed had brought about the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.

“Profit is useful if it serves as a means toward an end,” he wrote. “Once profit becomes the exclusive goal, if it is produced by improper means and without the common good as its ultimate end, it risks destroying wealth and creating poverty.”

  1. With the enormous amount of teaching that the bible provides on the topic of climate change and one would think that of all of the leaders in the world of religion who should step up and teach people like Al Gore and others the truth regarding it, it should be the pope! Especially when he stood before the U.N. last year I mean what an opportunity to set the record straight on climate change! But no what do we hear instead human rights. This is something that truly boggles this writers mind and whats more is this whole issue of crop circles! Again if anyone should be declaring loud and clear that we have now come to what Christ Jesus said…

    “There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.” {Luke 21:11}

    it should be him!!! But again no, nothing!!!! What is it better to speak on human rights and the worlds poor than opening peoples minds to the truth of what holy scripture actually has to say! Instead we have the UFO people trying to explain what is already explained for us in holy writ! So ask yourselves people if there is not something wrong with this entire picture coming from the city of Rome? Again it really boggles this writers mind and this especially so when I wrote the book crop circles and climate change. Believe me when I say it was quite the eye-opening experience and indeed continues to be.

    Cheers
