And what kind of "guarantees for the poor" does he apparently advocate?

Guaranteed access to capital, healthcare among others.

In a free society one must work to gain access to capital. Not everyone should be granted access by the Gov't as the Pope calls for. There are millions who are undeserving of such.

Gov't imposed access to capital is what crashed the economy in '08. Yet the Pope believes it is the State's function to perform this role.

To: what's up

Alright, well here is where the rubber is meeting the road. I’m glad you brought this up because I think this is one of the main sources of resistance here.

What does it mean to “guarantee access”? Just consider that phrase for a bit.

Now (I’m assuming you took at least a few minutes to carefully consider it) let me ask: does the phrase “guarantee access” necessarily equal “guarantee possession”?
