Pope Hopes G8 Leaders Will Fight Poverty
Sun Jul 3, 9:22 AM ET
Pope Benedict XVI expressed hope Sunday that leaders at the G-8 summit will take concrete action to help wipe out poverty in Africa and share the costs of reducing the continent's foreign debt.
Speaking to tourists and pilgrims on St. Peter's Square, Benedict noted that "the often neglected continent" of Africa is on the agenda of the annual gathering of leaders of the Group of Eight leading industrialized nations, which begins on Wednesday in Gleneagles, Scotland.
"I wish with all my heart for the success of this important meeting, hoping that it will lead to a sharing of the costs of reducing debt, to putting into motion concrete measures for uprooting poverty, and to promoting ... development of Africa," Benedict said.
Benedict's predecessor, John Paul II, repeatedly called for wealthy nations to help poor countries deal with their burden of debt.
On Saturday, Scotland's Cardinal Keith O'Brien, at a huge anti-poverty rally in Edinburgh, read a message from Benedict with a similar appeal.
Live 8 concerts staged around the world on Saturday also were aimed at pressuring President Bush and his G-8 colleagues to start initiatives to ease poverty, especially in Africa.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who will host the summit, is pushing for coordinated action to help the world's poorest and in recent weeks lobbied the other leaders to back his campaign.

'GROUP JARGON' IS PARTLY TO COMMUNICATE AND PARTLY TO CONCEAL THOUGHT.
The purpose of language is as much to conceal thought as to reveal it, Bureaucrats, high priests, lawyers, at critics and other intellectuals develop a group jargon. The purpose of that jargon is only partly to communicate to other members of the group. An equally important purpose is to obscure or prevent communication to those outside the group.
It is easy enough to see that the underworld, would want a secret language that outsiders cannot understand, because the underworld has secrets to keep from the respectable world and the police. But people in the learned professions also have secrets to keep, especially from the lay public.
Of course, it is not disputed that any learned profession requires a technical vocabulary. But such vocabularies almost always become more difficult than necessary. No physician has ever been able to explain to me the difference between "new born baby" and "neonate."
The attractive fact about a learned vocabulary is that it confers social prestige and status upon its users at the same time as it creates awe among those who don't understand it One of the pleasures of being learned is to induce in the unlearned the reaction, "God, he must be smart! I can't understand a word he says. " And we who are learned are always just a bit afraid that if we were to express ourselves simply and clearly, people would cease to be impressed with us,
Historically, the intellectual's self esteem has long rested on his conviction that he is a special order of being, far above the masses. "Some men are gold, some are silver, some are iron and lead." said Plato. Soldiers are silver. Artisans and workers are iron and lead. Philosophers are guess.
Hence talking to each other in a language the masses could not understand was a status symbol -- almost a caste mark. In past ages intellectuals talked to each other in Latin or Sanskrit or classical Chinese, always making sure that these languages were no longer being spoken. These dead languages served the extremely useful function of keeping the peasants in a state of awestruck reverence before mysteries they could not hope to understand.
The American scholar cannot, like his medieval counterpart, protect his exalted social image by writing in Latin, But he can and does write in languages almost as opaque. Let me quote a paragraph from a recent issue of the "American Journal of Sociology."
"In any formal organization, the goals as reflected in the system of functional. differentiation result in a distinctive pattern of role differentiation. In turn, role differentiation., whether viewed hierarchically or horizontally, leads to what Mannheim called perspectivistic thinking' namely, incumbency in a particular status induces a corresponding set of perceptions, attitudes and values."

What the author is saying in this passage is merely that different people have different jobs and that people in different jobs tend to see and think differently. (Read the passage over again and see if I’m not right.)
What is clear from this passage -- and the only thing that is clear — is that the author's concern for his professional standing as a man of learning has almost completely submerged his concern for communicating ideas. It seems to me that this passage illustrates beautifully the dilemma of the ambitious American scholar. As scholars we have to share our findings with others. We have to communicate. As communicators we know from every day experience that the simpler and more unpretentious our vocabulary and syntax, the more quickly we are understood.
But in addition to being scholars and communicators, we are status seekers, like everyone else. We want to impress others, if not with fine clothes or expensive automobiles, with the symbols of vast erudition. Therefore, relying on a tradition that goes back at least to the Chou dynasty in China and the ancient Greeks, we work on an assumption that says that you can never be respected as a man of learning if everyone could understand what you say.
Ultimately we arrived at an uneasy compromise. We publish papers in order to communicate and thereby become members of the community of scholars. But we use a language that is guaranteed by its abstractness. its prolixity, and its utter lifelessness to discourage attention and to obscure comprehension.
Let me state these observations as a general rule: when the status-seeking functions of a learned vocabulary become more important to its user than its communicating function, communication suffers and jargon proliferates.
