Pope Francis emphatically does not buy the argument that poverty can be alleviated by the 'trickle down' effects of wealth creation.

At last, after completing year 12, I failed the great final examination, repeated the following year and failed again even more dismally than before. This was not an easy thing to do. My mates did the simple thing in the first place and mainly passed with honours and went on to have remarkably successful lives.
