Do You Know What The Title Was Of The Pope, Which Ought To Be Used? Servant Of The Servants Of God. It's A Little Different From The Stars. Stars Are Beautiful To Look At. I Like To Look At Them In The Summer When The Sky Is Clear. But The Pope Must Be, Must Be The Servant Of The Servants Of God.

Some People Continue To Defend Trickle-down Theories Which Assume That Economic Growth, Encouraged By A Free Market, Will Inevitably Succeed In Bringing About Greater Justice And Inclusiveness In The World.
