Is it me, or is it a little too much coming from a man holding a gold stick, with a cross on the top.  |

| on one point he is correct, but what can you do if money is used as a merit to set value on certain goods and favors. you cant just simply throw away all your treasures, well some maybe can, but not all at a time. End of monetary system means there wont be anyone who will be willing to work for nothing that is worth of. And what will we do then, will we turn back to good old barter? Also i dont recall that when Roman empire was turned into christinan catholic, what stopped all other popes(all thos Innocentus and other'us ) at those times to put this revelation in real life? funny ain't it? |

| I’d love to go back to the bartering days myself. Two sacks of potatoes for a barrel of beer would be me fine. |
