When the government helped the Katrina victims or any people who suffer from a natural disaster or famine is that turning away from capitalism?

[what's up]

It's debatable whether the Federal Gov't should be as involved in natural disasters as they are today. If people were able to keep more of their money States, charities and individuals would have more to help the local situation from free choice...and often would be more effective.

Anyway, the Pope is not talking about natural disasters. He is calling on Governments to provide access to healthcare. That's not a one time deal. That's entitlement.
