 RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AP) - Brazil's cardinal, considered a strong contender for pope, harshly criticizes pro-market reforms and the globalization of the economy and urges solidarity with workers in a new book rushed into publication after the death John Paul II.
Cardinal Claudio Hummes also speaks out against the ranchers accused of ordering the killing of American nun Dorothy Stang, a naturalized Brazilian originally from Dayton, Ohio, who was shot to death Feb. 12 in the eastern Amazon. She had spent the last 23 years of her life trying to protect the rain forest and its poor from loggers and ranchers. Five men have been arrested in her death.
"Everything points to a contract killing," Hummes writes in "Dialogue with the City." "We see violence to forcibly seize land, at any price, murders and corruption."
