The word capitalism does not even appear in the Apostolic Exhortation entitled The Joy of the Gospel. In fact, there is nothing new in what Francis says about economics in this document at all. These insights are a part of the Social Doctrine of the Catholic Church and have been for a very long time.

Whether new or old the thoughts about capitalism and socialism radically violate and contradict the teachings of Jesus Christ. They are wrong whether new or old.

Pope Francis uses the term “markets” instead of capitalism. But his meaning is unmistakable.

Pope Francis’ Apostolic Exhortation explicitly argues for government intervention in the economy (markets) which can only be achieved by government violence or threat of violence. Jesus does not support violence to intervene in the economy.
