Pope Advocates For Redistribution Of Wealth By The Rich

Pope Advocates For Redistribution Of Wealth By The Rich

Pope Francis has said that being rich is not a sin, but Christians must share their wealth with others, and we should stand together to fight against greed.

“Money is by itself a good instrument, like almost all things at human disposal: it is a tool that broadens our capacities,’’ 

However, “when economic power is a tool that produces fortunes that people keep to themselves, hiding them from others, it leads to injustice, it loses its original positive value,’’ Francis wrote.

The Pope said he wanted “a poor Church, for the poor.’’ The Argentine-born pontiff has strong views on social justice, which have riled some ultra-conservatives.
