Geez I hope this is BS.
Socialism killed over 100 million people last century and we have a Pope allegedly calling Capitalism to account?
If it is true, the Lord needs to call him home for consulation and counseling, quick!

Liberation Theology is back as Pope Francis holds capitalism to account

Wow - If he said something like that, he's an idiot.

Maybe Jeremiah Wright can be a Cardinal.

From whatever source, Liberation Theology is Marxism in a very thin Religious Wrapper.

Authoritarians everywhere. Capitalism is a Marxist misnomer.

The free exchange of goods and services is the only way for humanity to improve. A hierarchical authority structure will always stagnate.

Bizarre. Human civilization came into existence as a result of capitalism, and cannot exist without it. Why is the Pope against civilization?

Pope Francis is not a proponent of Liberation Theology; never has been. Just because he’s against the crony capitalism that destroys economies all over the world, doesn’t mean he’s against capitalism in general, nor is he in favor of Marxism, socialism, or communism.

As a Catholic, this Pope concerns me. Maybe he’s just playing rope-a-dope, but he comes off as a typical politician wooing both sides of an issue. It’s been seemingly hard to pin him down, or he has allowed himself to be easily misquoted/misconstrued. I hope that he has some long term plan to reel in the sheep with this strategy.

The Pope should take note of the Tenth Commandment.
