Conservative Fears of Francis | National Catholic Reporter

Conservative Fears of Francis | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: They are only in angst because Francis walks the talk and expects his bishops to do the same.  That really makes donations hard to justify for the rich, some of whom give to buy their way into Heaven without first making things write with their workers.  A little voluntary charity on the Lenten Appeal is much easier to swallow than higher wages or higher taxes.  I would hope that the Francis effect also includes more Catholic adult education and vocational education.  Raising the skills of the poor means that they cannot be exploited - which to the rich is the harshest cut of all.
