Pope worries about gap between the rich and poor
Pope Benedict XVI urged world leaders on Monday to try to reduce the growing gap between the rich and the poor
In addition to issues such as bond market yields and interest rates, world leaders should focus on "the increasing differences between those few who grow ever richer and the many who grow hopelessly poorer
The financial crisis took root, he said, "because profit was all too often made absolute, to the detriment of labor, and because of unrestrained ventures in the financial areas of the economy, rather than attending to the real economy."
He urged people to resist the temptations for "short-term interests" at the expense of the common good.
