I think you’re right exactly.

The “poverty” gospel of finances is not the centerpiece of the New Testament, but rather the grave spiritual poverty, so great and unbelieving that it killed our Lord by crucifixion.

Basically that fact is the great divide among Catholics. The growth of the socio-economic emphasis has overtaken the epidemic of spiritual deficit and fallen victim to the socialist influence, which seems to me to have metastasised
into the broader Catholic culture and certainly the culture at large.

Correct. Seems that too many Catholics are more motivated by economic concerns than spiritual. And that inevitably leads to socialism.
