pure bigotry, I assume.

Try stating a source for the information on the pope’s economic ideas, in his own words.

Sure:

Pope Francis:

“Some people continue to defend trickle-down theories which assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness in the world,” he wrote. “This opinion, which has never been confirmed by the facts, expresses a crude and naive trust in the goodness of those wielding economic power and in the sacralized workings of the prevailing economic system.”

He's speaking of Reaganesque lower tax rates. I see lower tax rates as bringing greater justice, the alternative is slavery. The pope doesn't see it that way. He has the liberal view on it.
