last week Pope Francis continued an
amazing streak up tolerant and
understanding and compassion quotes
he's talked about homosexuality
understanding for downtrodden
communities and this last week he talked
about capitalism talked about
different ways that we can set up the
economy and the consequences they have
for poor people around the globe and a
lot of people took it as
rightfully so a very pretty strong
attack on
I out-of-control capitalism so forcing
anything strike that from the right
they look capitalism they say they love
the pope but they don't like his most

stuart varney the host on FOX Business
he was talking about it
on his show with watch I disagree with
his holiness
in two ways first and foremost
capitalism in my opinion is a
liberator the free choice of millions of
people
is the essence up freedom in my opinion
society benefits most
when people are free to pursue their own
self-interest
I know that sounds like a contradiction
but it's not one individuals
of free we collectively all better off
it every way financial aid and
spiritually
but John Paul understood that he had
experienced firsthand
the horrors of a real dictatorship on we
in america
abating to understand the problems that
come when government sticks its best
into the marketplace
second I personally do not want my
spiritual life
mixed up with my political life I go to
church to save my soul
it's got nothing to do with my vote but
Francis
have linked the two he's offered direkt
criticism
have a specific political system he
characterized it negatively
that system I think you want to
implement my politics
i think is right i think is right might
yeah but what your persona
politics and religion should not mix and
Fox News has been a really good example
of how
politic politics and religion should
make great yet to be fair he is
Fox Business slightly different audience
I understand their founding ideology
slightly different
but of course it is it is ridiculous the
idea that he is an individual can say
whatever he wants about the mixing up
religion and politics but the idea that
they don't benefit come election time
by people being whipped up into a frenzy
by their priests pastors and things like
that about the monstrous hypocrisy here
what about he he say I do not know the
the pope is saying this I disagree that
I don't want my politics to my spiritual
life to commit
but it was okay he cited pope john paul
the psychic
condemning communism I mean that's the
most hypocritical that you could
possibly say
so talking about the that basically talk
about the strongman's and and I like
that you brought that up because it
seems like
to with this guy is supposed to be an
expert on economics is a post on FOX
Business
there are only two ways you can set your
company either your free market
or you are red china I guess wouldn't
know they're having Korean the bright
yet but that's not how the economy
actually works course of course you need
but I'll hit you in the private sector
the public sector
in this case prop Brett Pope Francis was
specifically talking about trickle I
could not trickle-down economics and how
is it working
I mean we have a very very long case
study
yeah United States proving that
trickle-down economics doesn't work
he's just stating the obvious and the
commentary that this host cable box
business
was inaccurate right it's inaccurate
what the United States stands for so
he's not 100 percent in favor
individual is that where he saying this
is liberating capitalism is liberating
you're supposed to be
out there looking out for yourself and
not your
fellow American but that was against the
religion that Pope Francis is preaching
right that the religion that supposed to
say help your neighbor
help or am NOT I love the fact that this
this pope is changing the tuna provolone
random capitalism liberated those people
in Bangladesh
right having all those people who make
your iPhone there are liberated like
capitalism
are the albright what about Popeyes
pretend to be supported
Hitler you know I mean what where was
were stored Barney on that 1i me this is
a
you know this is just well such a popper
see it it's a
not and any idea that what he says the
guy go to church for my spiritual life
and wanted to make some pics social life
it's like
yeah practical applications birch well
it actually end up in my real life
I don't want anything that they were bad
I wanna go to church on Sunday and leave
all that bullshit there
because I could be a good personal I'm
sitting on the poor the rest the week
and by the way even in his example that
what he seems to consider a good example
%uh capitalism is talking about before
Oakland before Obama it's not as if
after world war two with the government
is just totally hands-off
on the economy much higher top marginal
tax rates and massive
US investment in Western Europe in Japan
reconstructing their economies
we have the international economy we
have specifically because
up government investment government
regulation only more recently like with
the repeal of glass-steagall and things
like that
this is what he considers the pfister
the government to be an economy
obviously we think it's the opposite
problem but but
a really really fast so but barney is
criticizing the pope
but the pope is a religious figure and
that box you could get a little bit of
trouble even Sarah Palin stepped off her
initial criticism the pope Francis
so he doesn't have to backtrack just a
little bit watch how
Telep I think Pope Francis a wonderful
man
he lives simply without extravagance his
life
is an example to us all so this
episcopalian is not critical at the
Manor
I simply wish to keep politics out the
bullet
I love that his life is an example to
all as an example that I would never
fall
I because that look like hell but why
should have told us in the first piece
that he wasn't this billion maybe he did
that incident entirety
but I when at thought the entire time
that he was catholic nun
and he's been going to church in the it
his opinion on his pup
so I i you know I'm is so by the way the
Papa see them maybe
not as bad as I thought because he's
he's not a practicing Catholic yet he
still was talking about what you know
keeping religion out while talking on
television but
I do we did you think that he was I if
you just asked me I would have guessed
he probably was Catholic
yet for after here with the with the
accent who knows activist people cappers
on a VAX
know that specific acts and I was film
but you could be Anglican or something
like that I think Roberto Lopez would
have a problem with the
yeah
