He warned of “unfettered capitalism” while not warning of the dangers of marxism, leninism, stalinism, socialism, fascism, islamism, radicalism, populism, humanism, secularism, etc. His words were certainly not an endorsement of capitalism which is the only system that has created wealth and freedom for so many.

This is what is known as a combination of nitpicking and insufficient substance to attempt to prove your point.

1. Anyone with a brain would understand the dangers of unfettered capitalism. Though it is the best economic system attempted by mankind so far, it is not perfect (and we will never have a perfect system in this life. Pope Francis was warning us of the misuse of capitalism where sin enters in. Ignoring God and seeking far too much after MATERIAL THINGS is one aspect of what has horribly weakened this great nation (there are several others...and all begin with putting God on the back burner.)

2. It is fairly evident that you haven’t read much of what Pope Francis has had to say regarding Marxism, Leninism, the Stalinist regime, socialism, fascism, Islamism, radicalism, populism, humanism, secularism, etc.
If you had read any number of things that he has had to say on such topics, you would never had posted what you did.
