I'm with Pope Francis on this one

"Not paying a fair wage, not giving a job because you are only looking at balance sheets, only looking to make a profit, that goes against God." - Pope Francis

1. Controversial

I agree though. Most modern Christians prefer their spiritual leaders focus on sins they aren't actually committing.

I don't know about fair wages but they apparently own a chunk of gun manufacturers filthy lucre. I guess you could say that Francis is a big contributor to the NRA in a way.

3. Cheating a worker of wages is considered a sin that cries to heaven for vengeance, according to

Catholic teaching. Of course, so is sodomy.

4. One good belief seems to always be counteracted by

some bigoted and/or ignorant teaching. It's like ordering a salad with a bunch of crap that you have to pick off and pile on the side of your plate.

5. this Church hasn't been too hot on capitalism since--what, the 16th century?

6. The usual RC stance on worker vis a vis the bosses. Even J2P2 issued dicta reaffirming

the right of people to fair wages and safe work places. Dorothy Day is a good example of RC teaching in this area.

On science, they are pretty good too.

The rest, not so much; or rather, on the rest, godawful.
