According to Pope Francis, capitalism is of the devil and it's responsible for much of the poverty and crime that exists throughout the world today.
In a recent speech, the pope claimed that financial inequality "is the root of social ills" that he blamed on capitalism which he called "the new tyranny."
Here's a quote from his speech: "In this context, some people continue to defend trickle-down theories which
assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will inevitably
succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness in the world. This
opinion, which has never been confirmed by the facts, expresses a crude and
naïve trust in the goodness of those wielding economic power and in the
sacralized workings of the prevailing economic system. Meanwhile, the excluded
are still waiting."http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/blog/blog-o-nomics/os-pope-francis-takes-on-capitalism
What is Pope Francis advocating? He's promoting Marxism as the economic solution to eradicate global poverty, crime, violence and moral decadence.
Pope Francis is either a very ignorant man (sorry Catholics) or he's actively cooperating with powerful socialists to help create a global Marxist government that would control all property and money and have the power to distribute it to whoever it wants. Since I'm not a conspiracy theorist, I tend toward the former theory that the pope is a very ignorant man when it comes to economics.
The pope condemns capitalism because in his mind, capitalism has created an enormous economic gap between rich and poor. That belief is based upon the prevailing argument that the wealthy steal from the poor and enslave them into a lifetime of misery, servitude and poverty.
Who first posed that theory? An ignorant man named Karl Marx who became the patriarch of modern socialism and communism. Marx truly believed that in order to create peace and harmony on earth, a new socialist utopia had to be created where everyone shared equally.
That economic theory has been a catastrophic failure wherever it's been implemented. Remember the Soviet Union? Or, how about Cuba? Or North Korea? Or China, until the red state finally threw open its doors to capitalism after decades of economic destitution?
Poverty isn't caused by capitalism. It's caused by lack of quality education, ignorance, moral depravity, political corruption and laziness. And wherever you have socialism, you inevitably find those factors in abundance.
Capitalism promotes competition that drives up quality. One example is the American auto industry. If capitalism didn't exist in the U.S., Americans would still be driving the type of junk cars that Detroit mass produced in the 1970s and 1980s.
Capitalism opened the door to better Japanese, European (and now South Korean) imports that forced the American automakers to improve their products or go out of business. And some of them almost went out of business. And capitalism has forced many other industries to dramatically improve their products or face extinction.
Capitalism provides for economic growth, opportunity and freedom. Socialism produces only failure, poverty and misery--and in abundance.
Pope Francis should go back and study history. Marxism isn't the answer to eradicating poverty. It creates poverty rather than solving it.
Just look at all the major cities in America today such as Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, Newark, St. Louis etc. Or, look at almost any Indian reservation in America. Or, look at all the nations in the world today such as Mexico, Bolivia, Venezuela, Zimbabwe and the Dominican Republic where socialism is still practiced. That's what socialism creates.
And the pope can't claim that Christ endorsed socialism. He didn't. Christ was neither a capitalist nor a socialist. He was the Son of God who had compassion for the poor.
And He encouraged individuals to help the poor rather than massive, secular governments. They never help the poor--they only destroy them.
