the Pope and Capitalism

"The emergencies of famine and the environment demonstrate with growing clarity that the logic of profit, if predominant, increases the disproportion between the rich and the poor and leads to a ruinous exploitation of the planet."

"Capitalism should not be considered the only valid model of economic organisation,"

"When the logic of sharing and solidarity prevail, it is possible to correct our route and point it towards fair and sustainable development."

No, the Pope hasn't turned into a marxist. As the article indicates he thinks capitalism and fair wealth distribution are possible, which isn't the case.
