It is "outrageous" that
managers who earn salaries and benefits worth many times more
than their employees do not offer to return some of the
stipends, Father Raniero Cantalamessa said Friday.
During Holy Friday Mass in the Vatican, Cantalamessa picked
up on a theme of social justice often favoured by Pope Francis,
and called for a narrower salary gap between high-income earners
and average workers.
"It is outrageous that some receive salaries and pensions a
hundred times higher than those who work" in the same firm, he
said.
Cantalamessa also denounced managers who steal from their
own organizations and compared them to Judas, the apostle who
betrayed Christ.
"Judas began by stealing some money from the common
fund...does this say something about certain directors," said
Cantalamessa.
