Pope demands 'legitimate redistribution' of wealth
VATICAN CITY (AP) -- Pope Francis called Friday for governments to redistribute wealth to the poor in a new spirit of generosity to help curb the "economy of exclusion" that is taking hold today.
Francis made the appeal during a speech to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the heads of major U.N. agencies who met in Rome this week.
Latin America's first pope has frequently lashed out at the injustices of capitalism and the global economic system that excludes so much of humanity, though his predecessors have voiced similar concerns.

Hmmm - perhaps he could make a start with the vast wealth held by the Vatican...

I was about to say the same thing when I read the headline. Unless he is going to do that, it's total hypocrisy.

Echo both your words; just rank hypocrisy from the Vatican this...
