Pope Francis is leading by example

As far as the crisis in the global economy goes, Pope Francis has been a breath of fresh air.

Pope Francis has noted the structural “tyranny” of capitalism had only created more inequality between rich and poor and he has exemplified his vision by words and deeds. He has noted that continuing adherence to economic inequalities is resulting in further disaffection, which is leading to home repossessions, malnutrition of children and lack of potential will only create further misery.

In his deeds, in a remarkable shift from previous popes, he has chosen not to live in the Vatican palace and has suspended a German bishop for lavish renovations.
