Clearly the Pope has a seething rage and contempt for free market capitalism, private property rights, an individual liberty. He blasts these concepts every chance he gets, but NEVER has a negative thing to say about Socialism, the type of which has bankrupted Greece, or Communism which has imprisoned Cuba for decades. And he has fully signed on to the religion of the Left-—Globull Warming.
All of this proves the Vatican is quite capable of making terrible mistakes...just like the American voters.
putting it simply, YES, he is socialist...
