something i was trustruck by in rolling stone magazine. we can put it on screen. it says consider the 24/7 global media coverage. when else would an economic message that s critical of capitalism as francis s be granted such stage. an example is the way that the pope has decried the excesses of consumerism. i wonder what you make of that the press in the next few days will be forced to talk about income and equality that doesn t get much of hearing this mainstream media. he sees them as rooted in the gospel. a lot of people that agree with him politically do accept. this is classic teachings of jesus and for the first hundred years the catholic church has had catholic social teaching.
