OF COURSE, FOR SOME FUNDIES THIS DOESN'T COUNT

Many Fundies despise the Roman Catholic Church and comments like this one sure aren't going to change that:
Pope urges 'legitimate redistribution' of wealth

VATICAN CITY (AP) -- Pope Francis called Friday for governments to redistribute wealth and benefits to the poor in a new spirit of generosity to help curb the "economy of exclusion" that is taking hold today.

Francis made the appeal during a speech to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the heads of major U.N. agencies who met in Rome this week.

On Friday, Francis called for the United Nations to promote a "worldwide ethical mobilization" of solidarity with the poor.

He said a more equal form of economic progress can be had through "the legitimate redistribution of economic benefits by the state, as well as indispensable cooperation between the private sector and civil society."

Francis urged the U.N. to promote development goals that attack the root causes of poverty and hunger, protect the environment and ensure dignified labor for all.
UPDATE: The Dumbest Man on the Internet provides a little more evidence that he deserves that title:
