Money is not evil. Money is a tool, like any other tool.

Using money improperly is evil. Worshipping money is evil. Using money to oppress people is evil. How you get it and what you do with it can be evil, because it’s powerful, and like any power, it can be abused. But the capitalist method has brought more peace and more benefits - by far - than any other social reward method discovered yet.

By far.

I’d like to know where Francis thinks the jobs come from. The government, the Church? It sounds like he wants everyone to have jobs created by some all powerful entity that decides how and where to spread the wealth.

Maybe he needs to read history some more. Capitalism is still the fairest system and the most creative, producing “wealth” in the form of goods and services for everyone. Sadly, we are becoming more socialist and more in line with what the pope wants.
