Dodgy Ground for the Pope

Never being one to duck out of a bout with the fantastic contradictions that are organised religions... As soon as the Pope evens thinks about criticising the pursuit of wealth he really needs to keep his mouth shut.

If he lived a subsistent existence up in the mountains then fine, you can bad mouth the pursuit of making money. But when you live in the Vatican, sitting on enough money to solve an awful lot of the worlds problems (especially in the catholic African countries), you're really not in a position to judge and be taken seriously.

Not that he isn't right. I envy those with faith much more than those with ambition. Just a tad hypercritical is all.
