MGB:_Francis is identifying those who are obsessed with whether they are in the state of grace. While he is right that they should also help the poor directly, he leaves out the point that many don’t want to pay higher taxes for the government to do so, even if the tax burden does not fall heavily upon them. They also oppose immigration. If illegal immigration is a problem, then open a procedure for more legal refugees! Finally, they ignore the Compendium on Social Doctrine is optional, even though much of the Gospel is about the helping the poor and the problem of riches. Capitalism as it exists today, especially under Trump, cannot be all there is. The Magisterium says it does not have to be. It must also deal with the environment. Francis is not a climate change denier and the option for any catholic to does not exist.
