Is the Pope accurate in saying our society worships money over God?

It is obvious. People are putting worldly things before Jesus and other people. They worship money, celebrities, things, IPhones and other products but ignore the needs of others. We have put things before people, family, and decency, and value money over life. Our society is built on consumption which is not what God intended. I like this new Pope, he lives the life Jesus would live.

He is accurate. And I like him too.
In regard to your post. I also like the way your legs look.

For the most part, yeah. Except atheists, but that's because they have no god to put second to money.

Yes. Certain political figures who fight for the interests of the wealthy elite have deliberately confused the morality of Jesus Christ with a commitment to free market capitalism in order to brainwash people into putting financial interests ahead of moral ones.

Without money he'd have no way to spread his message, no resources to give, no airliners to help nuns travel to third world countries, no medicine, etc…

I think the pope is accurate with this saying. There's a price for everything. For most people, the right amount of money can get them to do anything. Not all people are like that but i can name at least 50 that are. Some people say that money can't buy happiness but for some people it can. We all know that big money runs our nation. Hope this helps

The pope? The man who sits on the golden throne and waves a golden stick and sleeps in a palace? Wow, what an example he is

I'm not a Catholic but least he got that one right.

Read the whole speech. HE said the US society is the best one, but we need to stop making money the only goal.

Well, at least money is real.

Yes, he should know as the leader of one of the wealthiest organizations on Earth. Don't forget that the Catholic Church used to sell salvation to people once upon a time.

That's silly.
God is ON money. "In God We Trust," haven't you heard? Haven't you seen it?
Plenty of very rich people still worship God.
You and the Pope shouldn't say "we" as if you are speaking on behalf of everybody.

I prefer the popes that had orgies in the Vatican. Where did those saints go?

Yes, the Pope is right, money and the accumulation of wealth are priority to a lot of people. Those less fortunate are ridiculed and mocked. Jesus was not materialistic and helped the weary and down trodden.

  • Why is society like this today? I'm 17 and when i'm on public transport, everyone has an iphone or a samsung galaxy they are always on it, i don't know what they are on, but they are on it. i have an iphone, but i rarely use it and what i can't believe is why the little kids have iphones why is it?
  • WHY GOD USES BOOKS? WHY GOD Can't CODE A COMPUTER. WHY GOD So TECH -ILLITERATE? Bible is greek word for """ book" books are cut-down trees with ink. 1. Word now 500 channels of cable tv. 2. Iphone, ipad, tablet computers, webpages. Cloud computing. 3. Wi-Fi -radio communications for us to talk to each other. 4. Youtube videos. 100000 of webpages, 10000s of web channels. WHY GOD So LOW TECH? WHY GOD Can't CODE A COMPUTER? WHY GOD So AFRAID OF TECHNOLOGY?
  • Why are iPhones so important in our society? What's so great about them? I don't get it. Every time i turn on the TV, there's some segment about the NEW IPHONE… Big whoop, it's just a freaking phone, for crying out loud. You make calls with it, you can go online with it, you can take still pics, and you can record video. Wow, no other phone in the world can do that. How revolutionary. Boy, iPhones are amazing
  • What will Society be like in 2000-3000 years? I think future humans will laugh at us. Just like how we laugh at some the romans and greeks ideas about gods and such… I also think technology will be incredibly advanced, seeing as just as much as something like the iPhone has advanced in just 5 years.
