He has twisted Catholicism into a distributionist philosophy.

Distributionism usually refers to a set of economic principles favoring private property and frowning on concentrations of economic powers in the hands of state or corporations.

Francis' position seems closer to a corporate, centralized state economy, more akin to Euro socialism or Peronism. The Catholic Distributist champions like Belloc and Chesterton wouldn't dream of messing with marriage. I believe Chesterton described marriage as the most Democratic of institutions, one spouse per person.

Hmm, you said DistribuTIONism rather than Distributism, so you may be referring to general socialist tendencies rather than the economic philosophy. My apologies if so.
