I haven't had time to look at the story in depth, but Pope Benedict released an encyclical that criticizes capitalism. He also offers a new vision of the purpose and make-up of the economy. From what I have read, Benedict XVI gives a very idealistic and beautiful picture of what the world could be. It resonates well with my own idealistic heart, and I hope to find out more specifics about it/read it in the relatively near future.
I don't mean "idealistic" as a criticism either. Catholicism is inherently idealistic. What else could we do with a religion that tells its adherents to "be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect"?
