Pope Benedict XVI said in his New Year’s peace message today that the world was under threat from unbridled capitalism.

The pope said "hotbeds of tension and confrontation caused by the growing inequality between rich and poor and the prevalence of a selfish and individualistic mentality also expressed by unregulated financial capitalism."

The 85-year-old Catholic Church leader spoke at a New Year's Day Mass in the Vatican, then greeted a crowd of tens of thousands outside St Peter's Basilica. The Catholic Church marks its World Day of Peace on New Year's Day with events around the world.

Oh wait, sorry, wrong Pope, this is the BAD one.
