Pope Francis is continuing to make his mark as Pontiff.<br /><br /> He has just published his first major work in which he describes unfettered capitalism as “a new tyranny” and warns that unequal distribution of wealth inevitably leads to violence.<br /><br /> The 84 page ‘Evangelii Gaudium’ or ‘Apostolic Exhortation’ urges global leaders to fight poverty and rich people to share their money.<br /><br /> Since becoming Pope, Francis has encouraged austerity in the Church, setting an example by choosing to live in a Vatican guest house rather than the Apostolic Palace.<br /><br /> In the document, the 76-year-old also calls for power to be devolved away from the Vatican.<br /><br /> For some issues however, there was no new line. The document insists women can never be ordained priests and the Catholic church cannot accept abortion.
