I believe that the Pope's over the years have come up with some very radical ideas even though the church has been known to be conservative. The idea that not every completely owns property is against everything capitalism stands for. The idea that if a person has so much land that they should give some away to the needy is crazy. I believe that this is not a realistic expectation and that the Pope's are crazy to think that this would ever happen. To me, a lot of the things that are said in this are wishful thinking because realistically many of them would never actually happen.
I agree with many of the ideas that the Pope brings up about labor. I feel that every worker deserves to get enough pay to support themselves and if needed their families. I think that business owners have become too greedy and need to take a step back so that they can look into the eyes of their workers. I also feel that the hours should be good hours at good times of the day. Many of these things do not need to be worried about in the US because we have agencies that regulate these things. In the rest of the world the same thing can't always be said. What the pope has to say can be directed to places such as China where kids work in sweat shops and have incredibly long hours with very little pay.
