changing face of evangelicalism. i would guess you don t disagree with great deal with the pope, do you? what are your thoughts? not at all. lock. i think it is fair to say that america and the free markets and capitalism bring about prosperity and the alternative socialism or god fored be communism those economic systems are much worse. poverty is spread around equally. having said that, i think it s fair to have the critique of capitalism. right now i mentioned earlier about two little boys. what do we do going into the holiday season? the consumerism, commercialism. i am having them watch the charlie brown christmas special. he has that little christmas tree, it s pathetic. snoopy has the lights and the goddy sort of commercialism. that is really the message of that show. that s what i m trying to pass on to my children is that it s not about getting gifts at this time of year.
pleased with the pope s ideas. he s calling for changes in the church starting at the vatican and addressing things like commercialism, capitalism, how much power the vatican should have. and, of course, how the church should avoid the comfort zone. francis writes, i prefer a church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets. rather than a church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security. here s how some catholics are reacting to it. the fact that he s a little moral flexible and not so closed off to new ideas does make me more interested in getting closer to the church. when i used to listen to the pope, i just changed the channel. but now i really want to listen to what he has to say. let s talk about all of this with senior vatican analyst lis john allen. good to talk to you, breaking it down for us, making doctrine make sense. doctrine is not what he s
it s also about giving and helping others. look, i think on one hand we need to defend free markets, make the moral calls for capitalism. i think it does bring prosperity to a lot more people than any other economic system. by this same token, it s respectable pope frances is out there warning about the excesses of commercialism and of greed and i think that people of faith are really embureaucracying that message now. yes, you got to be pro-life i think if you want to be an evangelical. you also have to care about the poor and that s a part of the message that s been left behind too much. i think it really has. i love what you said. it s pretty remarkable what this pope said and again how he is unifying. he is unifying conservatives and liberals. catholic conservatives. the message, even mat what you are talking about, doing with your kid, that show also
