Pope Leo XIV takes on billionaires, polarization and war
Didn’t see this posted . Sorry if it is duplicate. Excellent article.
“We have to continue to remind ourselves of the potential that humanity has to overcome the violence and the hatred that is just dividing us more and more,” Leo said in the interview. “We live in times when polarization seems to be one of the words of the day, but it’s not helping anybody. Or if it’s helping anyone, it’s very few when everyone else is suffering.”
Leo XIV questioned the disproportionate difference in the incomes of modern CEOs and those of their workers, and challenged the extreme wealth of billionaires – and trillionaires such as Elon Musk. “What does that mean and what’s that about? If that is the only thing that has value anymore, then we’re in big trouble,” Leo said.
