And when is the encyclical coming out on the responsibility of the poor? If the poor have food, shelter, transport, cell phones, medical care and education paid for...what exactly is the appropriate response which the rest of society can expect from them? Functioning adults not only pay for the poor to have these items, but they pay for the ranks of government administrators who run the programs behind the distribution of products distributed to the poor.

That’s just it.
Faith and morals is the territory of clergy. Not economics.

They have consistently been wrong about socialism.

There is no perfect system that is going to bring utopia on earth.

Capitalism isn’t perfect - but so far it allows for the greatest amount of freedom to create wealth.
From there - people can choose to exercise christian values of charity - or not.

Even if they do not - the wealthy are still creating jobs.
