Not Found In This Morning's Wall Street Journal

Pope Benedict XVI:

“The world of finance, while necessary, no longer represents an instrument that favours our wellbeing or the life of mankind, instead it has become an oppressive power, that almost demands our adoration, mammon, the false divinity that truly dominates the world”.


And:

“Faced with conformity and submission to this power, we [Christians-ed] are non-conformists: it is not having, but being that counts! We do not submit to this, we use it as a means, but with the freedom of the children of God”.
