Is the Pope Catholic?

That used to be the saying when someone questioned the validity of something overwhelmingly obvious. The current Pope (Francis) may make that saying join the one about "sound as the Dollar." By urging us that we should make homosexuality and abortion acceptable, Pope Francis had knocked two of the fundamental Catholic teachings out of the way. The third one (about Socialism) has already been abandoned by the Catholic Church. On his way to Jerusalem to be crucified, Jesus sanctified the legitimacy of the profit motive and the principle of investing in His parables about the Talents (the Talent was worth 60K denarius -one day's wages) and the Minas (one Mina = 20 Denarius). He established the moral legitimacy of Capitalism.
