After posting a critique of Pope Francis’s Evangelii Gaudium, I was accused of not having read carefully enough or taking certain parts out of context.
Not this time. My line-by-line mark-up is here > Evangelii Gaudium Markup.
I look forward to your retort and request that you:
(a) offer responses as specific as are these comments, critiques and questions;
(b) refrain from pointing out typos and parsing my words – I didn’t edit or review my comments, so some might not be perfectly drafted;
(c) excuse the occasional snark – Pope Francis poked mankind in the eye, and I took the liberty to poke back; and
(d) not make the silly comment that I’ve taken something out of context – it’s interlineated in the context (and that’s redundant).
I addressed only the section of Chapter 2 that discusses economic matters directly. If there is a superseding never mind or notwithstanding Chapter 2 provision, elsewhere in the document, I hope you’ll point me to it.
My comments are in red.
