Words Fail Me (Almost)

The Pope on capitalism:

The global financial crisis is proof that the pursuit of money and success is pointless, Pope Benedict XVI has told a meeting of bishops in Rome.

The head of the Roman Catholic Church said that the disappearance of money as banks collapsed showed that wealth meant “nothing”.

While there are things more important than wealth to be sure, I kind of doubt Congress’s current pursuit of poverty is going to do anybody any good.
