Cutting jobs is a 'very serious sin', says pope
 
Closing factories and cutting jobs can constitute a "very serious sin", Pope Francis said on Wednesday in his latest broadside in defence of labour rights.

His comment was made in support of staff at the Italian branch of Sky television who are currently involved in a dispute over 200 redundancies and 300 relocations.

"I spare a special thought to the staff of Sky Italia and I hope that a rapid solution is found that respects the rights of everyone, especially families," Francis said at the end of his midweek audience in St Peter's Square.

Which version of the Bible did he use?  I don't remember seeing this in any I've seen. :whistle:

So cutting jobs is a serious sin, huh? Hmm. I wonder if that is a more serious sin than claiming to believe in God when you are really an atheist and even worse, are supposed to be the leader of Catholicism? I wonder if any of that is a sin.

Lighten up. This is the pope who wears underwear in the shower so he doesn't look down at the unemployed.

@rangerrebew

This is what he said ""Anyone who, through economic manoeuvring or by negotiating deals that are not clear, closes factories or companies and takes people's jobs away is committing a very serious sin.""

I would agree there are circumstances where the bean counters do things which are harmful to people and are the product of greed.  If he meant then he should have been clearer.

"Cutting jobs is a 'very serious sin', says pope"

The real "sin" here falls upon the shoulders of the College of Cardinals who elected this marxist neo-priest to be the leader of The Catholic Church.

Too bad they don't have "Papal Recall Enclaves" … ;)

What a shocking thing it will be for Catholics when this Pope is replaced by an actual religious Pope who cares about things like God, Christ, and Christianity.

I can picture many Catholics scratching their heads and muttering, Christ?, Christianity? What is this? What is he talking about? I want to hear more about God's position on Climate Change and oil pipelines. lol

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

James 5:1-6 NIV

1 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you.
2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes.
3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days.
4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.
5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.
6 You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.
