Water has now joined gold, oil, and other commodities traded on Wall Street. The rich are making it clear that they know our most life-sustaining natural resource is becoming more scarce, and they plan to profit off of it. #WaterIsLife https://t.co/25uauj16P3

Data confirms today’s growing divide between rich + poor is continuation of a trend that started in the 1970s with the rise of #corporatist + #neoliberal economic policies — dubbed "#trickledown #economics." #TheDefender @COMMONDREAMS https://t.co/sJA3gzrVk9

"It is inevitable, now, that large amounts of water will have to leave agriculture in order to sustain cities and suburbs in the far-drier future; the question is simply whether it can be done in a way that keeps agriculture on the landscape." https://t.co/wtx2aPXXci

Those millions of Mexicans who could care less for the Catholic Church – and there are more than would likely admit it – might also have asked Ratzinger to comment on the slew of sex-abuse complaints made against members of the country’s clergy. In fact, the papal visit coincided with the launch of a book by a group of priests who in 1998 brought charges against Legion of Christ founder Marciel Maciel for having abused them when they were seminarians. “La voluntad de no saber” (“The Will not to Know”) includes powerful evidence that the Vatican knew of the notorious Maciel’s altar-ego – drug addict, paedophile – decades before it acted. Maciel was “disciplined” by Joseph Ratzinger in 2005 and died three years later.
Not all of Mexico’s clergymen are pederast, pro-militarization fanatics, however. Since the earliest days of the Spanish conquest, the Mexican church has been littered with rightly-celebrated dissident voices; from Bartolome de Las Casas, who stood up for indigenous rights in the 16th century, to Bishop Samuel Ruiz Garcia, a liberation theologian who risked his life by sympathizing with the Zapatista rebels in the 1990s.
