Pope: Market capitalism has failed in pandemic, needs reform

ROME — Pope Francis says the coronavirus pandemic has proven that the “magic theories” of market capitalism have failed and that the world needs a new type of politics that promotes dialogue and solidarity and rejects war at all costs.

Francis on Sunday laid out his vision for a post-COVID world by uniting the core elements of his social teachings into a new encyclical aimed at inspiring a revived sense of the human family. “Fratelli Tutti” (Brothers All) was released on the feast day of his namesake, the peace-loving St. Francis of Assisi.

Socialists, and this Pope in particular, have NO basis for evaluating economics or market systems.

Specifically, his yardstick is broken.

My first reaction was, "stick to your knitting".

Sorry, the Catholic church has failed to name a Pope who has a clue.

Did El Papa mention that the President of the USA has been preaching peace and working toward peace? POTUS has done more in less than four years toward bringing peace to the world than any Pope ever.

Francis is not a good writer.

Francis is not a good person.

Francis is not a good Pope.

Francis should not continue to hold the title.

This Roman Knight is thoroughly disappointed with this pontificate's obsession with climate change and Marxist economic destruction.

We, of the traditional Roman Church, of His One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, are focusing on NOT focusing on Franciscus.

We are not Ultramontanes.

How many medicines, masks, toilet paper, meat etc. has the pope produced?

Yeah, that’s what I thought. Capitalism. in contrast, has kept the store shelves stocked despite global panic by producing what has been needed,, despite (and because of, frankly) the crisis atmosphere. It is capitalism that is working hard to create drugs and vaccines, to keep the oil flowing, to make sure people are fed and kept warm this winter.

I know.

That makes the selection of his successor a problem.

Benedict needs to return and drain the swamp.
