I doubt the LA Times knows anything about Rerum Novarum and Quadragesimo Anno.

I didn't, and thank you for the references. I've been trying to understand Roman Catholic Church's position on this issue. I suspect that there's no clear cut one side positions like "the Church is 100% for free-market capitalism" (her concerns for the poor and the weak make her less likely to side 100% with free market position, I think) and certainly not "100% for socialism" (concerns on dignity of individual prevents her to do so), so reading these official documents have been great.
