For whatever it's worth, “Maurina” is an Italian name. Some of my ancestors originally emigrated from Italy to South America, didn't like the situation despite the country being Roman Catholic, and eventually three Maurina brothers moved together to the United States.
As far as I'm concerned, if Catholics and Protestants want to argue about which theology makes the best capitalists, that's fine with me since it has the effect of educating people in the pews why socialism is wrong.
I have opinions on that question, but I'm fine with Roman Catholics (the Acton Institute, for example) who want to promote a Roman Catholic view of capitalism. More power to them.
“if Catholics and Protestants want to argue about which theology makes the best capitalists, that’s fine with me “
It’s not about that for me. Both, neither, whatever. I’ve just always found the “Protestant ethic” thesis unconvincing and the easiest way to debunk it is to point out the glaringly obvious alternative evidence.
