Pope Francis has criticized exorbitant salaries and has denounced them as symptoms of an economy based on greed. He continued, “Markets and financial speculation cannot enjoy absolute autonomy.” Pope Francis called for a more ethical economy and better distribution of the worlds resources. “We cannot wait any longer to resolve the structural causes of poverty in order to cure our society of an illness that can only lead to new crises,” he expressed. Conservative Catholics, primarily in the United States, have criticized Pope Francis opinions on the economy. However, the Argentine pope has said he is simply sharing the Churchs teachings. In addition, Pope Francis has actively engaged in Latin American political events. He helped to facilitate negotiations between the United States and Cuba and has condemned the disappearance of 43 college students in Ayotzinapa, Mexico. readersupportednews.org/news-section2/318-66/28009-pope-criticizes-globalization-markets-and-financial-speculation
