Pope Francis has used his first major written work to attack capitalism
as a "new tyranny," while urging global leaders to fight poverty and
inequality. In a document published Tuesday, Pope Francis denounced the
'idolatory of money' and "trickle-down" economic policies, as well as
consumerism and a financial system which he says rules rather than
serves. The Pope urged politicians to guarantee all citizens "dignified
work, education and healthcare." However, the Pope rejected change in
two other areas: the ordination of women to the priesthood and the
church's view on abortion. We speak to two dissident priests. Matthew
Fox is former Catholic priest who was first stopped from teaching
Liberation Theology and Creation Spirituality, then expelled from the
Dominican Order. Father Ray Bourgeois is a Catholic priest and the
founder of the School of Americas Watch.
