Where do you see the Pope calling for a forced distribution of weath? Then it would be socialism.

As for the Church selling off its priceless artwork and such, I refer you to what Jesus said to Judas Iscariot when He was anointed with an expensive fragrance and Judas wanted the fragrance sold so the proceeds could go to the poor.

Where do you see the Pope calling for a forced distribution of weath[sic]? Then it would be socialism.

And just how else do you believe this redistribution will occur? The RCC is, and has been an advocate of "Santa Claus" socialism for a while now.

Pope’s word from post 19

“We need a greater HOPE, which allows us to
==>> prefer the COMMON GOOD of ALL to the luxury of few and the poverty of many,’’

“Moderation is not only an ascetic RULE, but also a way of SALVATION FOR HUMANITY.’’

“By now it is OBVIOUS that ONLY by adopting a sober lifestyle,

==>> accompanied by a SERIOUS commitment to a FAIR DISTRIBUTION of WEALTH,

==>> will it be POSSIBLE to INSTALL a JUST and SUSTAINABLE model of DEVELOPMENT,’’
