know-nothings winning in the publicity game

According to today's Guardian, the Pope says it's selfish not to have children.

This is a man who's never had a real job. 

I don't regard being a Pope or being Priest as jobs.  They have unbelievable job
security and comfort, privilege.  It's hard to get these people fired even if they
are child abusers.

 He doesn't seem to know that there are things as unemployment and economic crises.   Not just the current crisis. Capitalism is unstable, and the post-war boomed ended in the 1970's.

In the article, he faults a culture of "well-being"--Oh dear!  Would that it were so!  Someone should explain to him that there's a difference between propaganda about the economy and reality....

I put his remark in the same league as the Dalai Lama's puzzlement at why people are so stressed out.

Another no-brainer from someone who's never had a job.
