I'm sure the pope will refuse to accept money from those sinful capitalistic countries.

Not catholic, never will be. How some people follow the drizzling shite that comes out of a Pope's mouth, and go to church to listen to a likely pedophile is beyond my understanding.

I wish the next time he steps onto the balcony to give a sermon a lightening bolt would hit him in the forehead.

All i want to know is if this means that my children’s tuition is about to be free!??

Dear Diocese,

Our Pope says capitalism is a sin. That’s a mighty nice new church you have there. I expect my tuition refund check soon.

God Bless You,

Swamie

There is no greater economic system in the world than capitalism, but if you consider yourself a Christian, you would be lying to yourself if you think it doesn't lead to sinful practices. Greed is a sin and one of capitalism's largest byproducts is greed. So in that he is not wrong. And he's also correct in the assertion that the poor must always come first. Once again, if you consider yourself a Christian, you would know that one of Jesus's biggest lessons was to always aid your fellow man when they are in need. The poor are always in need. There are a certain number of people out there who, despite their best efforts, can't pick themselves up off the mat. It is those people who we must always be willing and able to assist. And, unfortunately, capitalism has a tendency to leave those people in the dust.

More people have been lifted out of poverty by capitalism than any other system on Earth. Yet this guy (Pope) says capitalism is a "sin". The catholic church has always been against Capitalism...all the way back to the reformation...not wanting a middle class etc. If I were catholic I would be embarrassed

In Judeo-Christian theology, everything fallen man does is tainted with sin.

His selection of "capitalism" as "a sin" is just idiotic at best, and a dangerous endorsement of authoritarianism ...most likely.

Come to the dark side of Reformed-Protestantism all ye Believers.

And get banished to the depths of Hell by heresy? No thank you. Protestantism is the largest heresy in the history of Christianity and was allowed to gain traction and prosper thanks to the greed of central European rulers. They fell for Satan's greatest trick and humanity continues to slide into moral decay as a result.

Why does he not speak out about priest molesting children?

I would think that is a sin and covering it up should be a sin.

It's amazing. Without people that have the means to produce and create wealth, there is no help to give the poor.

Those that produce and provide should be championed. Without them, the world enters dark chaos.

And there are many who produce and create wealth who do not give back to the poor. I think that's the point Pope Francis is making. You can hate him for his socialist tendencies all you want to, but there is some truth in what he says.

This guy needs a history lesson.

Before Capitalism, wealth and prosperity were reserved for the aristocracy and the church.

Capitalism brought wealth and prosperity to the masses.

To be clear, Michael Moore said that the Pope said....

I’m not the biggest Pope Francis fan but I also know to take what MM said the Pope said with a grain of salt.
