Pope proposes new financial order guided by ethics

Pope Benedict XVI called Tuesday for a new world financial order guided by ethics and the search for the common good, denouncing the profit-at-all-cost mentality blamed for bringing about the global financial meltdown.

In the third encyclical of his pontificate, Benedict pressed for reform of the United Nations and international economic and financial institutions to give poorer countries more of a say in international policy.

"There is urgent need (for) a true world political authority" that can manage the global economy, guarantee the environment is protected, ensure world peace and bring about food security for the poor, he wrote...

..."The economy needs ethics in order to function correctly — not any ethics, but an ethics which is people centered," Benedict wrote.

Too bad it's essentially not a "conspiracy" anymore, the knowledge is there for everyone to see, problem is most sheeple just don't want to believe it.

Most consider the Vatican the heart and soul of a New World Order movement, it's obvious they have the means to make people believe what they want them to believe ... if your religous and the Pope say's it's the best thing then it must be right??

Agreed...I consider myself quite religious, but I pay no mind to the Pope. But I definitely see the point...to Catholicism, what the Pope says goes and that's a very large group of people.

yeah sorry for the generalization ....

but yes like OPT said ... Catholics represent a large group of people
