Economy is the new colonialism

[Lyion]

I have to somewhat agree, even if no answers are provided:

Pope Francis once against spoke to a gathering of representatives of worldwide popular movements. He last met with them in Rome this past October, when they discussed social problems like unemployment and a lack of housing and land.

On this occasion, the Pope came to them. He delivered the most powerful and wide-ranging speech of his trip.

POPE FRANCIS
"Human beings and nature must not be at the service of money. Let us say no to an economy of exclusion and inequality, where money rules, rather than service. That economy kills. That economy excludes. That economy destroys Mother Earth.”

He denounced "new forms of colonialism” that leave entire groups of people as nothing but suppliers, impeding their ability to grow and develop.

It seems a progressive idea for a Pope.

Pope Francis is doing good things.
