There is nothing wrong with what the pope said and Harrier agrees with him.
Your mistake is trying to apply the pope's message to public poliicy.
Your ignorance lies in trying to separate it. You are seriously saying that the Pope's message is on the mark, but should not be applied in the real world? Is it for Disneyworld?

There is more to the real world than government and confiscation of taxes.
Since you are a liberal, you obviously don't understand.
Let me get this straight: Sarah Palin calls debt "slavery" and liberals clamor to fill her mouth full of s*it. The Pope says that "wealth inequality" kills and liberals are ready to bow down before him?
Negative net worth is generally fueled by debt. This is a fact. Only in a liberal's diseased brain could one perform such ideological contortionism to willingly ignore that fact.
You can't compare what comes out of palin's mouth to the pope's And many, many liberals are catholics. I'm not sure about bowing down to him.
Ok so the central theme in mind is, attack the inequality caused by unfettered capitalism.
It goes on describing the observed and challenged consequence's of this avarice in the world. ( idolatry of money, greed)
So it seems to me that he may have a visual in mind of that graph where the engine of societies , the middle class worker is getting rudely pushed into nothingness and down down down all go, leaving the great inequality and everything that goes with it.
Well its common sense no doubt, and everyone has been told. Interesting how he's been saying how everyone can go to heaven, looks like there are a few exceptions and some rules here, hmmm.
Maybe someone should tell the pope that the really tyranny is unbridled socialism.
If he needs proof all he has to do is just look in his own backyard Italy and what unbridled socialism has done to that country.
You don't recognize the difference between true Capitalism and unbridled greed at the expense of others? It wouldn't bother you if you became ill or cheated on some level due to unfair or underhanded business practices of someone else? I really never realized there were so many ignorant people out there when it came to this subject, but you sure can find them all here on CD.
UNBRIDLED capitalism IS tyranny. Unbridled anything is tyranny.
Doesn't mean the Pope is against capitalism but everything in moderation is the best. People can suffer under all of these systems if they don't put people first.
The funny irony for conservative religious types is that Jesus was by all accounts clearly much closer to a "socialist" type than a capitalist.
