Pope urges activists to struggle against \u2018structural causes\u2019 of poverty<\/a><\/p>\n

Cuz no pope has ever talked this Komminniss stuff like that before<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The Church\u2019s wisdom has always pointed to the presence of original sin in social conditions and in the structure of society: \u201cIgnorance of the fact that man has a wounded nature inclined to evil gives rise to serious errors in the areas of education, politics, social action and morals\u201d[85]. In the list of areas where the pernicious effects of sin are evident, the economy has been included for some time now. We have a clear proof of this at the present time. The conviction that man is self-sufficient and can successfully eliminate the evil present in history by his own action alone has led him to confuse happiness and salvation with immanent forms of material prosperity and social action. Then, the conviction that the economy must be autonomous, that it must be shielded from \u201cinfluences\u201d of a moral character, has led man to abuse the economic process in a thoroughly destructive way. In the long term, these convictions have led to economic, social and political systems that trample upon personal and social freedom, and are therefore unable to deliver the justice that they promise. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, that\u2019s one of the parts of Caritas in Veritate<\/em> that George Weigel, who is totally not a cafeteria Catholic, told us to ignore<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
