This pope - unlike JPII - is a coward, at least in his old age.

The Pope needs to read the Jaycee Creed—”economic justice can best be won by free men through free enterprise”.

JPII had enough experience with communists to avoid being used as a tool by them. Too bad Francis doesn’t.

Among those Catholic FReepers you know, how many support Francis’ agenda?

I am also covering my mouth on papal matters, but not out of respect for Francis.

Has he really stated without ambiguity that he opposed Capitalism?

No, he said:

"And behind all this pain, death and destruction there is the stench of what Basil of Caesarea called “the dung of the devil”. An unfettered pursuit of money rules. The service of the common good is left behind. Once capital becomes an idol and guides people’s decisions, once greed for money presides over the entire socioeconomic system, it ruins society, it condemns and enslaves men and women, it destroys human fraternity, it sets people against one another and, as we clearly see, it even puts at risk our common home."

There is currently a major revival going on in Cuba, in spite of the Castros. Houses are being converted to churches.

Amazing!
