http://www.businessinsider.com/pope-francis-calls-unfettered-capitalism-a-new-tyranny-2013-11 VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis called for renewal of the Roman Catholic Church and attacked unfettered capitalism as "a new tyranny", urging global leaders to fight poverty and growing inequality in the first major work he has authored alone as pontiff. He also called on rich people to share their wealth. "Just as the commandment 'Thou shalt not kill' sets a clear limit in order to safeguard the value of human life, today we also have to say 'thou shalt not' to an economy of exclusion and inequality. Such an economy kills," Francis wrote in the document issued on Tuesday. "I beg the Lord to grant us more politicians who are genuinely disturbed by the state of society, the people, the lives of the poor." ... I guess this is the original. And I guess this will be the next "delicious sophistry rebutted" :-)
