Reader’s Write: Pope leads fight against inequality

The Island Now

Pope Francis has just called for world governments and those who are rich to share and provide for the poor. 

Pope Francis expresses his views in his latest papal document whereas he believes that unchecked capitalism leads to the new tyranny of greed. The Pope speaks of the idolatry of greed and asks politicians to guarantee all citizens the dignity of work, education and health care. 

As a Catholic and a member of the Knights of Columbus, I truly applaud and embrace Pope Francis’s fight against economic inequality. 

Remember this : Poverty destroys the human spirit and in the end will perpetuate violence on a large scale.
