he believes the role of politics is to "control the economy."

Those are kind of the opposite of each other.

Fascism is the control of corporations and other business entities by the government (but not government ownership).

Oligarchy is the control of the government by wealthy individuals (who do not hold government positions).

The Pope is Argentine. The ruling Peronist party in Argentina is Fascist, and has been Fascist, since Hitler was in power in Germany. I guess the Pope is just true to his "roots".
