Pope's Bolivia Speech Considered Most Radical Ever

  • 9 years ago
Pope Francis' speech to a meeting of Bolivian and international social movement activists Thursday night in Santa Cruz is considered his most radical ever. The Pontiff referred to the greed of capitalism as the "devil's dung", called media concentration and free trade agreements new forms of colonialism, and defended poor countries' sovereignty against the wealthy and powerful. Pope Francis also acknowledged that neither he nor the church hold a monopoly on the analysis of social realities. Rael Mora reports from Santa Cruz. teleSUR
