Now for the after video. Turns out that sanders will be academic t an conference sponsored by the Pontifical Academy but the pope n is now saying the was not responsible for the invite. Set plans to ny even meet with the senator, but, as was first reported by bloomberg the president of the academy is saying the Sanders Campaign reached out first for the set plans to said they vitation and discourtesy.

And the sec relies workings of the prevailing Economic System. He has repeatedly condemned idolatry of the market and has said in the speech to which president carter referred to in bolivia when capital becomes an idle you get pain, and death and destruction and the stench of the dung of the devils. These are strong words. I would like to make the case the popes critique of freemarket ideology is traditional, systemic, ethical and finally anthropological. It is to grimsley traditional, Pope Benedict xvi said the conviction the economy must be autonomous, shielded from influences of moral character has led man to abuse the economic process and a thoroughly destructive way. Pope john paul the second said the state of inequality between individuals and nations not only still exists, it is increasing. It is obvious a fundamental defect or series of def
