We’re stalinists now.

😭 He's right though. Especially given that the "owner" to pretty much every company is Blackrock and Vanguard.

*Average catholic viewpoint* -americans: Is this Communism?

Get in, bro; we're bringing down capitalism.

I’m listening to Henry Fords book. He says business is about giving people what they want not making money . The Pope is correct again

Rights for workers now = communism apparently

This has nothing to do with communism 😆 it's the social doctrine of the church...

He is not a communist. And he is not wrong. Our economic system right now is based on squeezing the middle and lower income brackets for all the money the rich can get. I am not a socialist or capitalist but its pretty clear we are living under a system where government officials are getting jobs with major corporations like Boeing and Pfizer. We need something better.

Nope. This is ordinary Catholic social teaching on work.

Rerum Novarum intensifies.

It's not communism, it's the gospel

Italians created fascism based on this exact complaint.

The Church condemned both socialism and liberalism literally 130 years ago and you just learned we're against capitalism? Stick this soviet flag up your ass man...

I mean, this is perfectly in line with Catholic Social Teaching. Pope Leo XIII heavily developed economic theories that expand on this topic.

Wait until you hear what Jesus did to the moneylenders!

Pope Leo speaks, I listen and learn.

I grew up in a communist country. You do not have an idea what stalinism actually is. What the holy father says is true and it is not stalinism.

This is infantile. The Church has always criticised both the evils of runaway capitalism and communism.

Imagine thinking the pope is off on what he’s saying here. Look around my guy

Nah he’s a falangist😉

The Holy Father is right

Amen

No, we're not. This is Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum critiquing capitalism separated from morality. Don't pull that fgt Fuentes shit

Stock ownership by the people is essentially catholic social teaching on the matter.

Holodo what? Never happened

He is not wrong. Read the SCOTUS decision in Dodge v Ford. In that case, it says the purpose of the business organization is to "maximize shareholder value." This directly contradicts CST because all value in the firm comes from labor, and labor deserves the fruits over capital.

Never met a CEO of a large multibillion dollar company who doesn’t like money like MrKrabs. What’s that saying? No one ever got rich by being honest? That’s why it’s said that “a camel will pass through a nose ring before a rich man goes to heaven”.

No, this is Catholic Social Teaching

There’s a lot in between corporate degeneracy and stalinism, he’s not wrong

The pope is correct. Capitalism is not as great as many have been wrongly led to believe.

Amen, comrade.

@LibertyPat4c Holy Father, you can just say “the Jews”

Have you read the Bible?.. this is nothing new for Christianity

Capitalism in its current form is worse than communism
