Pope Francis' political gambit

Ceiling
If you are a chess player, you will easily sense the political gambit of Pope Francis, when he attacked "money idolatry" and "trickle-down" theories on economics. Obviously, it is an attempt to capitalize on  greed or immorality in money. Admittedly, he maybe right on crude and naive trust being given to the goodness of those wielding economic power.

But does he possess a valid legal, moral and spiritual ground to attack them?

I don't think so, unless he attacks first the tradition of Roman Catholicism, which is much legally, morally and spiritually worst than anything on earth, in heaven and underneath the sea. 

He should attack first the "holy" cross, "holy" rosary, rosary beads and strings, and every Roman Catholic idol, which are being promoted by the alleged church.

He should also return first the title of the "Holy Father" to the real owner, including all the donations, monetary or proprietary, and all the "moneys" that the Roman Catholic alleged church had benefited in selling deceptive images, statues and candles, etc and all the fees paid for baptisms, masses, weddings, burials, etc, to all deceived followers.

The Pope should likewise civilly compensate all the victims of Roman Catholicism and homosexual priests and all nuns and sisters, who sacrificed their respective personal liberty by staying in convents to do useless labor of "idolatry".

Finally, he must stop using the names of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit for purposes of revering the heavenly and earthly crosses and maintaining the alleged church observer status in United Nations and spiritual leadership of Christianity, worldwide.

If he can do all the above then he can have the personality to attack. But, if he can not do any of them then it's logical for him to just shut up for utter lack of moral and spiritual grounds.

In Pope Francis' discourse, he was quoted as follows:
“Some people continue to defend trickle-down theories which assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness in the world,” Francis wrote in the papal statement. “This opinion, which has never been confirmed by the facts, expresses a crude and naive trust in the goodness of those wielding economic power and in the sacra­lized workings of the prevailing economic system.”
