Papal Notes - Francis' Bad Dream

 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. Revelation 13:3

 "The book, Let Us Dream ...., was to be published Dec. 1 by Simon
& Schuster.....A crisp 150 pages long, the book presents Francis’s overview of the world’s situation. It’s structured in terms of the “See/Judge/Act” method pioneered by the late Belgian Cardinal Joseph-Léon Cardijn, who died in 1967....The pope encourages governments and his own church to commit to “the three L’s”: Land, Lodging and Labor. ...In this context Francis returns to the idea of universal basic income, reduced working hours and adjusted salaries.
 
 The title of the book is drawn from God’s words to the biblical Prophet Isaiah: “Come let us talk this over. Let us dare to dream.”....While he supports the spirit of this summer’s protests, Francis draws the line at tearing down statues....
 
 Pope Francis said in the book that he believes it is time to explore concepts like the universal basic income (UBI), also known as ‘the negative income tax’: an unconditional flat payment to all citizens, which could be dispersed through the tax system.
The payment would guarantee every citizen has the minimum necessary to survive and, he said, could encourage people to job share with others, increasing employment, or give more time to volunteer work.
 
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a global trauma or trial, Pope Francis said, ....“God asks us to dare to create something new,” he said. “We cannot return to the false securities of the political and
economic systems we had before the crisis. We need economies that give to all access to the fruits of creation, to the basic needs of life: to land, lodging, and labor.

* Joseph Leo Cardijn (13 November 1882 – 24 July 1967) was a Belgian Roman Catholic cardinal and the founder of the Jeunesse ouvrière chrétienne (JOC) [Young Christian Workers].
Cardijn was best known for his lifelong dedication to social activism and working towards the improvement of the working class.....In 1924 the organization's name was changed to Jeunesse Ouvrière Chrétienne (JOC, or "Young Christian Workers"). The organization grew at a rapid pace throughout the world; its members were often known as "Jocists" (the movement was often called "Jocism"). .His opponents often called him a communist......In 1964 the pope asked Cardijn to submit his thoughts on ecumenism and dialogue for Ecclesiam Suam."
