Do you support Pope Leo XIV? Yes or No?

Your Holiness, let me put this as politely as I can: you don’t know what you are talking about. If you want to write on a subject—horse racing, say, or musical composition—it’s a good idea to know something about it before putting pen to paper or, these days, hitting the computer keyboard. The same goes for economics. You don’t have to know anything about economics, but if you don’t, you shouldn’t pontificate on the subject. What you have written gives evidence of a soft heart, which is a good thing, but soft hearts, if they are not to be destructive, should be closely associated with hard heads. Your post is an embarrassment to those of us who are Catholic and who respect and venerate the office you hold. You wrote: "Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty." Yes, and that’s not good. However, almost all of the human race was immersed in extreme poverty for most of human history. The last two hundred years have seen the mass of people lifted out of poverty in a way that has never been achievable or achieved before. [see Hans Rosling’s Factfulness for some real information: [amazon.co.uk/Factfulness-It…] You wrote: "Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few." If wealthy people have obtained their wealth by honest means, issues of proportionality are irrelevant. They have provided goods or services that people are willing to pay for and they have been rewarded accordingly. What they do with that wealth is a moral issue for them and not a legal or political matter for anyone else. You wrote: “...the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.” [italics added] This is a classic example of the zero-sum fallacy. The solution to poverty is to make poor people un-poor, not to make wealthy people un-wealthy. [see stephankinsella.com/2023/06/casey-…] What you call 'equitable distribution' presumes that wealth is something that just sits there, waiting to be distributed. But wealth is something that is produced, and its production already determines its ‘distribution’. Your Holiness, there is much work to be done to sort out the problems in the Church. May I respectfully suggest that you direct your attention to the resolution of these problems.

Why does Elon Musk want to operate in South Africa so bad ?! Namibia recently rejected him just a week ago. He didn't say anything. Now he's letting his anger out on us?
