Pope Francis, Zacchaeus and the UN | National Catholic Reporter

Pope Francis, Zacchaeus and the UN | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: Very nice.  He did not leave much room in his remarks for prudential judgement.  He said to give and he did not condemn the mandatory giving we call taxation.  Interestingly Zacchaeus was a tax collector for Rome and his repentence and restitution was as much about honoring Judaism as its king, Jesus.  That is actually important.  Until our 1%ers see that making sure everyone who works for them, lives with them or even near them is as much an obligation to the nation as it is to Christ, the whole prudential judgement excuse will have them give their check to the lenten appeal and a bigger check to the various GOP electoral committees.  I'm sure that will get them a big laugh in Hell.
