During his recent historical visit to the United States, Pope Francis, the leader of the Catholic Church – a religious sect that itself depends greatly on the patronage of the American faithful in order to remain viable – had some harsh words for the very economic system upon which the country was founded and upon which it has flourished.

In short, the pontiff continued his crusade, if you will, against capitalism – the laissez-faire economic and political system in which a country’s trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit rather than by the state.

While in Bolivia in July – a country mired in an endless cycle of poverty under the head of Movement for Socialism party President Evo Morales – Francis urged a new world economic order while denouncing a “new colonialism” by those who impose austerity programs (in order to save national economies from ruin) and calling for the poverty-stricken to be given “sacred rights” of labor, lodging and land.

In other words, more socialism sprinkled with shades of communism – two economic and political systems that have proven, time and time again, that they are incapable of producing wealth and widespread economic security for the bulk of the people.

Capitalism has alleviated more poverty than any other economic system
