Last week’s Shields and Brooks segment of PBS Newshour discussed, among other things, the Pope’s recent comments critiquing “excessive capitalism.”
Here is a description of the segement:
Syndicated columnist Mark Shields and New York Times columnist David Brooks join Hari Sreenivasan to discuss the week’s top news, including the short-term Iran nuclear agreement, the pope’s writings on capitalism, proposed changes to campaign finance rules and things to be grateful for.
I think David Brooks focussed to much on the few pages about economy. The pope does talk constantly about the Church of Joy and what changes are needed. And his idea that the rich have more problems with money for spiritual reasons gives me the goosebumps. The pope,as a psychologist, clearly states the problems with economical inequality. These issues are connected with moral depravations.
