***** Francis: "Business... can be a fruitful source of prosperity for the area in which it operates, especially if it sees the creation of jobs as an essential part of its service to the common good”

nd. I have been APPALLED at the 'liberal' attacks on Francis' stance against attacks on one's Fatih - conflating Francis' call to responsibility, respect, brotherhood... with a call to 'legally' limit free speech which Francis was in no way doing. For years I have understood, sadly, much of why the Right hates the Left - such hypocrisy, lip-service, irresponsibility, cowardice....

***** AN UNPOPULAR (DEMANDING) LOOK AT THE ROOTS OF TERRORISM: Brother David Steindl-Rast. "The terrorist attack cannot be defended; absolutely not. But what enraged the terrorists was not freedom of the press; it was the abuse of this freedom – shameless disrespect for religious sensibility. How can we stand up to defend human freedom, unless we stand also for human decency?" Those attacking Pope Francis for his similar stance... HAVE YOU LOST YOUR SOULS? DO YOU ONLY KNOW THE 'LAW OF THE STATE' AND NO LONGER THE 'LAW OF THE HEART, OF HUMANITY, OF CIVILITY, OF BROTHERHOOD?????'

***** link. Francis, visibly moved by the poor in the room: "Many of you have been stripped by this savage world that does not give employment, that does not help, that does not care if there are children in the world who are dying of hunger, does not care if so many families have nothing to eat," he said. He decried a world "that does not care about many people who have to flee poverty and hunger, flee seeking freedom and many times they find death, as happened yesterday in Lampedusa".
