USA: Pontiff Calls for Greater Equality and Economic Justice

In a telephone interview teleSUR Correspondent Bianca Perez provides details about the Pope’s visit to New York City. Although some sought to disparage his condemnation of the “trickle down” theory, or the idea that wealth trickles down from the rich to the poor, by labeling it “anti-capitalist,” many more people welcomed his message of equality and economic justice, said Perez. She mentioned that in his meeting with immigrant families, he spoke directly to the children about ways that immigrants can make the society stronger and the important role that they play in the society. teleSUR
