Religious leaders against inequality

The Archbishop of Canterbury on Eastern Sunday:

“The next wave coming is the economic one … We have a choice there as a nation and as a society and as a world. Do we take hold of our destiny and make sure the differences are mitigated, abolished where possible – or do we just let things happen, do we let the market rule, in which case there will be enormous suffering.”

Will religious leaders make a difference?  Will the fight against inequality become more accepted thanks in religious circles?  Surely people like Justin Welby and Pope Francis are trying... and let's only hope their followers are listening.
