Where the pope diverges from Catholicism, feel free to criticize
There is plenty of room there

his criticism and condemnation of capitalism and free markets.

Citation?

Really? You're questioning whether this Pope criticizes and condemns capitalism and free markets? It's not hard to find. Google is your friend.

Criticism of the pope isn’t per se criticism of Catholicism. Particularly this one. There’s a lot not to like with this pope. And I say that as a cradle Catholic who spent a number of years workng for the church.

P.S. Gotta go turn up my eeeeevil air conditioner, muahaha!

Apparently the ‘sciencey’ pope isn’t very well read. In France 2003, 15000 folks died from an extreme heat wave. Most did not have air conditioning.

In the US it is a HUGE headline making deal if someone dies from weather extremes.....

This pope, like the DiC and his beard, want people to live like third world hungry and poor folks. Yet I note that every where this phony goes he travels by air conditioned airliner

You would be correct. Free will is always a way for us to be able to grow, that some do so in an evil way should not surprise any one.

Corruption comes from a concentration of power (from Hamen to the modern day) and an evil heart

Hey why not bother to cite the entire post? It was suggested you Google it.

Why so defensive about a pope who has clearly shown his liberation theology upbringing?

A simple example is the increasing use and power of air-conditioning. The markets, which immediately benefit from sales, stimulate ever greater demand.

And this is a good thing.

An outsider looking at our world would be amazed at such behavior, which at times appears self-destructive.

Now it's a bad thing, sometimes?!?

What exactly is this Pope trying to say!

His witness of "An outsider looking at our world" is a worldly point of view that is presumptuous and judgmental.

Jesus is not an outsider, your eminence.

“he Pope has made in his message for the Roman Catholic Church’s World Day of Peace on December 12. He also called for sharing of wealth and for nations to shrink the gap between the wealthy and the poor. He said, quote, “The succession of economic crises should lead to a timely rethinking of our models of economic development and to a change in lifestyles””

The poster claimed that Francis condemned capitalism and free markets.

Do you have a citation of the Pope condemning capitalism and free markets? That's what I asked for.

Well, as an American, Catholic, conservative and capitalist, I really am incensed with the Pope’s foray into LEFT WING politics.

He is not well informed on no-religious subjects, and some of his political opinions border on idiocracy. It’s great to have a well-meaning heart, but if the brain doesn’t show more skill and if that heart-felt opinion becomes policy then that makes things worse, not better. He needs to consider the first Hippocratic law for Doctors—First, do no harm.

He needs to get out of political matters and concentrate on spiritual.

I know I shouldn't feed the trolls, but whatever...

Unbridled capitalism is the 'dung of the devil', says Pope Francis

Go ahead and spin it.

How about something where the Pope praises capitalism and free markets? I would be interested to see that. Can you find it?
