In
a striking series of admissions, Pope Francis told journalists on the
flight back to Rome from Paraguay that he has an aversion to the
economy, which he does not understand very well, and that he has
neglected the middle class. On the plane, journalists asked the Pope
his opinion of the economic situation in Greece and its relation to the

It conflates our individual moral duty to be charitable (a good thing), with govt welfare programs (bad evil de-humanizing things)
