The Cult of Money

Post by boxy » Sat May 18, 2013 12:16 am

[The Pope] said money should serve people, not rule them, and added that people are struggling to live under an economic dictatorship.

"We have created new idols," he said.

"The worship of the golden calf of old has found a new and heartless image in the cult of money and the dictatorship of an economy which is faceless and lacking any truly humane goal."
"But you will run your fluffy bunny mouth at me. And I will take it, to play poker."

When are you going to start following the rest of the Catholic Churches teachings?

Pell is trying to attract more customers to the Catholic Church. The numbers of devotees are getting low hence the reduction in tythes. The RCA has only ever been about collecting wealth and control over the vulnerable. The recent Govt. Inquiries into Priest paedophilia has been bad for business.

cult of money?

Ah now I get it. The new Pope's slagging off Jews and their Mammon, coz after their success at siphoning off Nazi loot from the Swiss bank, the Visenthal foundation is getting stuck into the Vatican bank.
If Donald Trump is so close to the Ruskis, why couldn't he get Vladimir Putin to put novichok in Xi Jjinping's lipstick?
