“Francis fiercely rebuked the ‘globalization of indifference’ and the ‘idolatry’ of money. He explicitly condemned ‘trickle down’ economics as based on ‘a crude and naive trust in the goodness of those wielding economic power and in the sacralized workings of the prevailing economic system,’” wrote Dionne, author of Souled Out: Reclaiming Faith and Politics After the Religious Right. “The pope is an institutional leader and a global political actor. Francis certainly played those roles, yet his worldview was antithetical to casting the papacy in this light. He was a spiritual rebel and happy troublemaker, pushing the church relentlessly away from clericalism and worldliness.”

Francis' Encyclical: Laudato Si
