I have never met a Catholic priest who is not a socialist. I am not saying that all priests are socialists, but the ones in my neck of the woods are. I consider them to be ignorant on the laws of economics.

Capitalism is not a product of Roman Catholicism. It has 2 parents, Calvinists and non-Christians. The Church has always been ambivalent about capitalism.

In the late 80's in the Peoples Socialist Republik of Taxachuetts, their was a ballot initiative their version of California Prop 13 which would have made Massachusetts dramatically restructure and make government smaller. It was defeated with numbers like 84% to 16%. But the kicker was at Sunday Mass during the sermon, many a Priest asked the parishioners to vote against it..... Beam me Up Scotty...
