Apparently some folks are already screaming that this is a Marxist sentiment.
One might say, however, that it has pretty traditional Christian roots. Inequality (as we know it today) is rooted in disparities in wealth. And as we all know, I Timothy 6:10 says, "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager
for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with
many griefs."
Of course, those with money often think this verse applies only to the poor who do not have money and are therefore eager to get it.
See? None are so blind as those who will not see, none so deaf as those who will not hear.
Which is neither a papal nor a scriptural citation, but nonetheless true.
