The Pope says "Capitalism is a sin"

quote:

---

Pope Francis apparently told US filmmaker Michael Moore that capitalism is a sin and that the ‘poor must always come first’ when they met recently in the Vatican City.
Michael Moore, 64, told Late Night with Seth Meyers that he met the Pope two weeks ago and he made the comments when Moore asked him about income inequality.
‘I went to the weekly audience, and then he asked to speak to me privately. It was an amazing moment, and I asked him if I could ask him a question,’ Moore said.
‘And he said, “Yes,”‘ Moore said, recounting his visit with the pope last month.
‘And I said, “Do you believe that an economic system that benefits the few, the wealthy at the expense of the many is a sin?”
‘He said to me, “Si” in Italian. And I said, “So you believe capitalism, the capitalism we have now is a sin?” He goes, “Yes, it is.” He said, “The poor must always come first.”‘
