I wondered if Pope Francis would conduct his papacy as a Jesuit, and if so, how much so...

Now I know.

I wonder if the Pope will divest the church of its vast real estate holdings, gold storage, art collections etc. to give for the 'common good'. Open up their observatory for anyone to do research. Come on Pope. Put up or shut up.

"Greed is good." It produces a surplus by which living standards of a society are raised. Evidently, His Holiness fails to discern that "money" represents "work." The more people produce, the more money they have. If one chooses to give away the fruit of one's labor, this should be his or her choice--not forced income redistribution.
