Vatican supports Occupy Wall Street

From the Reuters

The Vatican called on Monday for sweeping reforms of the world economy and the creation of a ethical, global authority to regulate financial markets as demonstrations against corporate greed continued to spring up in major cities across the globe.

An 18-page document from the Vatican's Justice and Peace department said the financial downturn had revealed behaviours like "selfishness, collective greed and hoarding of goods on a great scale," adding that world economics needed an "ethic of solidarity" among rich and poor nations.

Urging Wall Street powerbrokers to examine the impact of their decisions on humanity, the Vatican called on those who wanted to change economic structures to "not be afraid to propose new ideas, even if they might destabilise pre-existing balances of power that prevail over the weakest."

The document was released as "Occupy Wall Street" protests this month sparked similar anti-capitalist movements around the world with demonstrators angry over government bailouts of big banks, corporate bonuses, and economic inequality.

Vatican wants the governments to impose “heaven on earth” policies in the delusional belief that governments are essentially ‘immaculate’ and has the power to repeal the law of economics by the use of force. This only shows how Vatican has NO idea of the origins of the evil she decries of, and the complicit role of governments in the current political order.

The Pope needs to know that the Governments has been masterminding the current “collective greed” political arrangements. The Vatican needs to answer who has been conducting bailout policies and most importantly WHY this are being done?

Second, Vatican prefers the use of more violence through the “creation of a ethical, global authority” to discipline or “to regulate” the markets.

It is ironic that the Vatican has been proposing actions which runs contrary to what she preaches.

Just how can love or ‘ethic of solidarity’ be attained through the enforcement of redistributionist policies that have been anchored on violence?

Heaven on Earth.
