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.

[what's up]

I hadn't read the "trickle down" comment.

Man, that is so blatant.

will inevitably bring about justice... outside of the US, as being too much to hope for.

That makes him economically liberal?

No.

Any chance we could get a source and date on that?
