Pope Francis should nudge PNoy into reversing his hokum policies

POPE Francis, our pastor, has said so many important, life-changing things in his papacy. But this one stands out:

This opinion, which has never been confirmed by facts, expresses a crude and naïve trust in the goodness of those wielding economic power and the sacralized workings of the prevailing economic system.
