Bible-thumping right-wingers tend to be Protestant. They don't give a about a pope.

Being anti-capitalism and trying to get people out of poverty seems like a conflict.

Remember when you googled a response when I questioned your belief system?

Knee jerking re ...
in capitalistic, free market USA, capitalism has pushed into and kept many 10Ms in poverty and near-poverty, with little statistical chance of escaping. Socioeconomic mobility has been declining for 40+ years in USA, such that "social democracy" Europe has BETTER Socioeconomic mobility. Capitalism is fantastic for capitalists, everybody else is mostly ed into wage poverty and wage slavery.
“There are elements of nature worship, and I would say that contrary to some of the criticism, that this is not communism that has entered the church, it is rather paganism,” Gene Koprowski, marketing director for the Heartland Ins ute warned a collection of reporters.
“I think that if we have a pope who doesn’t keep things in an orthodox manner, we’re gonna be having forms returning to the religion that are not orthodox,” he added. “I think we are seeing a revelation of a sort of animistic form in the church.”

lol animist pagan pope
Even CNN is scared. They keep guessing on what issues pop will bring up.
Americans are a bunch of insecure butches
it pisses people off that the Pope doesn't bow at the altar of capitalism.
to be fair, that's not the Pope's job and it never has been: he's a pastor. his views on justice and the economic structure of the world aren't much different from his predecessors.
When Francis released an apostolic exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium, just a few months into his papacy, it got enormous attention—perhaps in part because it’s so prickly. “Some people continue to defend trickle-down theories which assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness in the world,” Francis wrote. “This opinion, which has never been confirmed by the facts, expresses a crude and naïve trust in the goodness of those wielding economic power and in the sacralized workings of the prevailing economic system.”“The Church for the past 10 popes, since Leo XIII, has consistently criticized socialism and capitalist ideology.”
He's a Catholic. He's basically preaching to the choir. Catholics in my experience aren't "in your face" like many or most Protestants/Bible thumpers are.
They sure cared when Kennedy became potus
