In response to Rush Limbaugh's criticism of Pope Francis' *Evangelii Gaudium * (text ), Christopher Hale said that "to call the Holy Father a proponent [of] 'pure Marxism' is both mean-spirited and naive. Francis’s critique of unrestrained capitalism is in line with the Church’s social teaching." "Pure Marxism" aside, can anyone explain, in light of *Evangelii Gaudium*, what, if any, is the different perspective on capitalism that distinguishes Pope Francis from Ratzinger?
