The pope lamented the great inequalities in health care around the globe. While people in many parts of the world aren’t able to receive essential medications or even the most basic care, in industrialized countries there is a risk of “pharmacological, medical and surgical consumerism” that leads to “a cult of the body,” the pope said.
“The care of man, his transcendent dignity and his inalienable rights” are issues that should concern Christians, the pope said.
Because an individual’s health is a “precious asset” to society as well as to himself, governments and other agencies should seek to protect it by “dedicating the equipment, resources and energy so that the greatest number of people can have access.”
There's more than a handful of Catholics that have Fox"News" shows - most notably O'Reilly and Hannity. Wonder what they will have to say regarding their "Holy Father's" statements on healthcare and how access should be granted to all?
Is The Pope a "Socialist" now?
