Papal Notes - The Merchants Bend the Knee

.....and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
Revelation 18:3
 
 “The world is rich, and yet the number of poor people is swelling all around us,” said Pope Francis
In response to the pope’s exhortation, business and public sector leaders formed an historic partnership with the Vatican. The Council for Inclusive Capitalism will serve as a movement to address the economic and environmental needs of the planet and its inhabitants. The council boasts over more than $10.5 trillion in assets under management, companies with over $2.1 trillion of market capitalization and 200 million workers in over 163 countries.
 
 The “Guardians,” as the council members are called, are top executives of the world’s leading corporations who have promised to take bold actions toward creating inclusive capitalism.
 
The Guardians, at their respective companies,  have said they plan to hire and promote more women, increase diversity hires, commit to clean energy by purchasing 100% renewable electricity, reduce
greenhouse gas emissions, promote the reuse and recycling of water and other initiatives.
 
The Guardians can exert peer pressure on fellow industry chief executive officers. They could ask Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, Apple’s Tim Cook, Google’s Sundar Pichai and others to relinquish the fortunes they’ve accumulated during the Covid-19 pandemic and redistribute it to this initiative.

The glaring concern is that this partnership ends up as a public

relations bonanza for the executives involved. They’ll bask in the glory of favorable media attention and virtue signal how wonderful and caring they all are." Forbes

So these are a bunch of FAKE CAPITALISTS who are just Eco-Fascists and Marxists looking for setting up a Global Monopoly of Power for the few (themselves) with the aid of Pope Francis---ah,....but what does Francis want....hmmm...
