Sure. After all, who else is going to pay the taxes to fund the socialist Utopia?

“””...especially if it sees the creation of jobs as an essential part of its service to the common good.”””
The real pope comes out. None of what he said is in support of capitalism. It’s a thinly disguised attempt to pacify capitalists into thinking he’s not really for redistribution.

Have the marxists won the war of words? Capitalism seems to be the go to word to describe free enterprise.
Free people engage in free enterprise.
Under socialism people are not free and free enterprise is curtailed and/or destroyed.

Sounds much like the old Soviet mantras of “full employment” and “social parasitism”. No mention of creative destruction and competition, and seeking profit is bad.

I increasingly believe that Francis is schizophrenic. Like George “Baby Face” Nelson in “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”

Thank-you President Trump for helping Pope Francis change his mind.

“Business is a noble vocation,” the Pope continued, “directed to producing wealth and improving the world. It can be a fruitful source of prosperity for the area in which it operates, especially if it sees the creation of jobs as an essential part of its service to the common good.”That sounds very like what the Church has taught for more than a century, back to Rerum novarum.
(No, I didn't remember the document's name: I used Google. I remembered that it existed, though!)

So the Pope said this shortly after meeting with Trump&Co?
Suppose a leader had no position on global warming or some Progressive issue. Then shortly after meeting with Obama that leader made positive statements on that Progressive issue. You’d better believe the media and other Obama supporters would give Obama the credit, whether deserved or not.
