While capitalism rarely benefits the poor, Pope Frankie has a lot of nerve speaking out against anything which doesn't help the poor, seeing as how he's the head of a religion that's worth billions and runs its own bank.
Capitalism has enabled countless people to get out of poverty - that's the famous "American Dream". We were the first country in the world to achieve such a high standard of living and produce a middle class. Today people still come from all over the world because of the opportunities offered here. Most other world systems don't allow for any upward mobility., i.e., monarchies, dictatorships, communism. As far as the Catholic church goes, it has been the forefront of providing aid to the poor for the last century at least.
