An Example Of Papal Writing

I still haven't located a paper in which the Pope specifically condemns tax havens, but I have found his Message for the celebration of the world day of peace, and once again, I see no real conflict between what he says and sound economic policy. This is why I generally view journalists as obsfucators when it comes to the Papal pronouncements.

What happens is this- the Pope as the head of a state (the Vatican) as well as the head of a pretty big universal organization (the Church), exhorts the world to some rather basic Christain morality, and he tends to do so diplomatically. He doesn't say the U.N. should be laid on the scrap heap of history because it's a huge, corrupt mess. That just wouldn't be diplomatic, and, of course, I've no doubt he hopes the U.N. could be reformed.

Anyway, the Pope calls for an ethical approach to economics.
The first step in the process of finding an ethical approach would be to find out what is true. No use trying to save a drowning man by gargling in solidarity. The journalists though, are either trying to tear the Church down, usually when someone indicates they shouldn't do something that they really want to do, or use Papal messages as to reinforce their own leftist agenda- thus we will likely get some form of 'globalization is evil' or 'globalization causes poverty' when in fact, if you read it, you can see that isn't what is said at all.
