I’m interested to know how you know what the Pope’s view of the USA is and how you know it so well that you can state his view for him.

BTW, there actually can be a form of capitalism that can become corrupt, (such as crony capitalism) as opposed to free market enterprise.

I have no real idea what the views of the Pope are in regard to the USA. What I do know is Americans were not broadly pleased to hear that capitalism was evil, to the exclusion of its merits.

I certainly agree that capitalism can be abused, and even can be abusive, but it was the Pope whose quotes on the evils of capitalism can be googled. His words were inclusive of all capitalism, and they were not pretty.

Sorry, but slandering the entire concept of capitalism to include all forms of it, even in it’s best form, is not an exercise of intellectual integrity, but an insult to all Americans who prefer it to Marx and socialism, communism and totalitarianism.
