The article references The New York Times reports on the Encyclical Letter Caritas in Veritate...On Integral Human Development in Charity and Truth released by the Vatican. In it Pope Benedict
"...called for a radical rethinking of the global economy, criticizing a growing divide between rich and poor and urging the establishment of a "world political authority" to oversee the economy and work for the "common good." He criticized the current economic system, "where the pernicious effects of sin are evident," and urged financiers in particular to "rediscover the genuinely ethical foundation of their activity."
