I know I know the Catholic Church is shit and still not fixing anything (They would probably murder Francis if he tried any major reforms). But it’s just nice to see the Pope out here calling out shit.
Private property is second to people’s well being!
Free market is immoral because it exploits others!
Nations have the right to their own resources!
Liberation theology gang what’s up!
As far as popes go, Francis is pretty good. That said at least in the US, the church doesn't spend any political capital on any of this. All they care about is abortion. My friend was a staffer for a congressman and sat in on a meeting with a bishop. He said they talked about two things, how hot it was that day, and abortion.
Theoretically the church is for a lot of good social justice causes, but in practice they only care about abortion.
