Title: Pope's new book criticizes capitalism (AP)
Description:

Copies of the Italian edition of Pope Benedict XVI's first book as pope,'Jesus of Nazareth', for journalists attending the presentation are seen prior to the presentation, at the Vatican, on Friday, April 13, 2007. Benedict starts out by stressing that the book, which he began writing in 2003 when he was still Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, is an expression of his 'personal search for the face of the Lord'' and is by no means an official part of Roman Catholic Church doctrine. In the book he criticizes the 'cruelty'' of capitalism and colonialism and the power of the wealthy over the poor in a very personal meditation on Jesus Christ's teachings. (AP Photo/Pier Paolo Cito)AP - Pope Benedict XVI offers a personal meditation on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ in his first book as pontiff, criticizing the "cruelty" of capitalism's exploitation of the poor but also decrying the absence of God in Marxism.
