Pope Francis Prepares for Trip to the United States

Pope_Francis_greets-NEWS-sm

Now that Pope Francis has finished his week-long visit to South America, he says he’ll be preparing for his September visit to the U.S. And he says, that will include reading up on criticisms of some of his recent statements about global economic policy. Francis has repeatedly raised concerns about greed and capitalism. In Paraguay last weekend, he urged politicians and business leaders not to support economic agendas which “sacrifice human lives on the altar of money and profit.” Some U.S. critics have called such statements “flawed.” Francis says he hopes to have a dialogue with those critics.
