"Does this include the capitalism with which I pay my tithes?" It depends.

Do you sell pornography to make a profit in the name of capitalist free enterprise, operate a bathhouse for queers to make a profit in the name of capitalist free enterprise, run a whorehouse to make a profit in the name of capitalist free enterprise, sell illegal drugs to make a profit in the name of capitalist free enterprise, sell addictive drugs to make a profit in the name of capitalist free enterprise, create and distribute child pornography to make a profit in the name of capitalist free enterprise, ignore the economic effects of your financial transactions on others to make a profit in the name of capitalist free enterprise, and hundreds of other things that that corrupt the morals or destroy the lives of others with no regard for anything except your own personal gain?

If not, you're not engaging in wild capitalism, just run of the mill capitalist free enterprise.

Of course, Catholics and all Christians understand exactly what he means.

Others, as usual, just ignore the modifier "wild" in front of the word "capitalism" because doing so fits with their personal agenda of corrupting the truth.

Whenever someone utters "social justice", I feel as if something is about to be sacrificed to the god of collectivism, viz; "Society".

The poor man did not follow Christ when asked to give up his wealth and follow Him

You are correct. The Pope knew exactly what he was is saying when he utters the Leftist succor ‘social injustice.’

And God Bless You !

Your having he patience of Job around here and being a faithful witness for the Faith has has landed you on my daily prayer list along with a gaggle of others, not all of whom are Catholic.

And be forewarned, anyone who goes on my daily prayer list stays there until the 3x5 card they're on wears out.

The sort who devour the houses of widows to buy themselves silk robes and salutations in the marketplace. That sort of poor man.

What does "wild capitalism" even mean?

Absolutely no sarcasm, I just want clarification.

And how does the pope intend to fight against "wild capitalism"?

AFAICS, there could have been a term used that did not include the term “capitalism”. This is going to give folks the wrong idea.
