The 'Mind' and 'Heart' of Pope Francis on Ethics and Economics Blog Post

by John Carr

"The 'Mind' and 'Heart' of Pope Francis on Ethics and Economics" blog post from America Online

On economic life, Pope Francis sees his responsibility in clear terms:The Pope loves everyone, rich and poor alike, but the Pope has the duty, in Christ’s name, to remind the rich to help the poor, to respect them, to promote them. The Pope appeals for disinterested solidarity and for a return to person-centred ethics in the world of finance and economics. (5/16/213)
