Short answer by Fr. Barron is probably not. However, from the discussion there, most agreed Pope Francis is a willing fool to say the least. Few thought the Pope as naïve as Fr. Barron portrayed him, to survive the church hierarchy and becoming Pope.
Thanks for the link. The article is very troubling.
In it is this quote by Pope Francis:
“Do we realize that that system has imposed the mentality of profit at any price, with no concern for social exclusion or the destruction of nature?”
“An unfettered pursuit of money rules. The service of the common good is left behind. Once capital becomes an idol and guides people’s decisions, once greed for money presides over the entire socioeconomic system, it ruins society, it condemns and enslaves men and women.”
The best possible spin is that the Pope is ignorant of the lives of those fortunate enough to live in free market economies. He can only think in terms of rich exploiters and poor victims. He does not understand most people are middle class. They work, support their families and pay taxes. He imagines that these people who work for a living are obsessed only with greed.
The other alternative is that he is evil and is promoting totalitarianism. He believes that people who live in freedom are bad and that they can only be controlled by a brutal police state.
