“Is the
Pope capitalist?”
is,
“Probably not.”
First,
there’s the basic biographical particulars:
He’s a
Jesuit from South America, Argentina in particular.
Both facts
on their own represent intellectual and ideological milieus which are decidedly
unconducive to creating appreciation for the virtues of the market system.
............
But one can
be a fierce critic of the market system and still remain within orthodox Roman
Catholicism.
........
“Is
Bergoglio a progressive — a liberation theologist even?
No.
He’s no
third-world priest.
Does he
criticize the International Monetary Fund, and neoliberalism?
Yes.
Neo-liberalism
is a term used by the left to describe the modern school of economics which
attempts to move the world towards free-markets (classical liberalism) and away
from various forms of central control.
But the
Argentine political debate tends to take place between two statist camps:
Peronism on the ‘right’ and Marxism on the left.
According
to the Catholic Herald the former Cardinal’s ideological orientation is more
from the anti-market right than from the anti-market left:
“Where do
his political sympathies lie?
Certainly
not on the Left.
Those who
know him best would consider him on the moderate Right, close to that strand of
popular Peronism which is hostile to liberal capitalism.
In the
economic crisis of 2001-2002, when Argentina
defaulted on its debt, people came out on to the streets and supermarkets were
looted, Bergoglio was quick to denounce the neo-liberal banking system which
had left Argentina
with an unpayable debt.”
The liberal
National Catholic Reporter says that “Bergoglio has supported the social
justice ethos of Latin American Catholicism, including a robust defense of the
poor…” and approvingly quotes him as saying,
“We live in
the most unequal part of the world, which has grown the most yet reduced misery
the least.
The unjust
distribution of goods persists, creating a situation of social sin that cries
out to Heaven and limits the possibilities of a fuller life for so many of our
brothers.”

Lo anterior es una “caricia” en comparación a lo que se esta
escribiendo en los foros del Atlántico Norte.
Neo Lib. y Neo Con. están en llamas.
Los primeros, hasta apelan a la traducción de Google de la “marchita”.
For this great
Argentine
who knew how to win
to the great mass of
the people
fighting the capital.
Resaltando “…who
knew how to win to the great mass of the people fighting
the capital”.
Sin olvidar el “insaciable ansia de Poder” demostrada en mas
de ½ siglo por los “peronistas”.
Quienes durante casi ½ milenio criticaron y combatieron a
los Jesuitas, desde Melchor Cano O.P. y el luterano Johannes Wigang; pasando
por los marqués de Pombal, duque de Choiseul y conde de Campomanes, hasta Pascal, Voltaire,
Napoleón Bonaparte, John Adams, Bismarck, Vittorio Emanuele II, Jules Ferry, etc.
Se deben estar revolviendo en sus tumbas ante la insinuación
de que han sido “infiltrados” por el populismo del Río de la Plata.
Mientras los Neo Con., en especial los “fundamentalistas”
religiosos, directamente “pelan” las “Profecías de San Malaquías”.
112: “Petrus Romanus”
“In psecutione extrema S.R.E. sedebit Petrus Romanus, qui pascet oues
in multis tribulationibus: quibus transactis ciuitas septicollis diruetur,
& Judex tremendus iudicabit populum suum. Finis”.
En español la frase significa: ‘En persecución extrema, en la Santa
Romana Iglesia reinará Pedro el Romano, quien pacerá a su rebaño entre muchas
tribulaciones; tras lo cual la ciudad de las siete colinas [Roma] será
destruida y el Juez Terrible juzgará al pueblo suyo. Fin’
Quienes estén preparados para “usufructuar” el interés Académico,
Empresarial y Gubernamental por la “idiosincrasia” de “...South America, Argentina in
particular.
Both facts on their

unconducive to creating appreciation for the virtues of the market system.

No solo podrá escribir “papers” exitosos, sino que se verán
invitados al “road show” de los Seminarios internacionales mejor rentados.
Peronismo eclesiástico, y no eclesiástico, para
todos y todas; mientras paguen en euros y dólares sin cepo cambiario.
Para el detalle del escudo de armas papal, además del “azul metalúrgico”
y el “Carpintero José de Nazaret”.
