Pope Francis: Work Is An Expression of Human Dignity

[Bubba_Switzler]

The Pope’s message is clear. It’s not meant to be a political message against those who cannot work.

Who has said that the pope is issuing a “political message against those who cannot work”? Who, for that matter, is " against those who cannot work"?

The Pope is saying what St. Paul said 2000 years ago: those who won’t work shouldn’t eat.

Unfortunately, there are many who judge such statements as being motivated by ill intent against the poor or against those who cannot work.

Starting a post with “The Pope’s message is clear” indicates a total lack of charity for those who disagree with your interpretation.

I would almost agree, but the work must be useful. If I am paying someone to tear down a house, only to take the same materials and rebuild the same house. Well, lots of energy was used, but its not really working. If you read Fredrick Bastiat you will have an understanding to the theory.

I haven’t been on the forums in a long time. Nothing’s changed. Peace to everyone.

Peace to you too.
