Pope Francis calls for "legitimate redistribution" of wealth

Pope Francis has recently been very vocal about growing inequality around the world. He tweeted "Inequality is the root of social evil" and in a speech to the United Nations, the Pope made it clear that economic injustice, what he calls the "economy of exclusion," is not just a failure of charity, but a systemic failure that must be comprehensively addressed. Furthermore, he made the headlines when he called for "the legitimate redistribution of economic benefits by the State."

 Thoughts?
