"A Financial Crisis is rocking the world's economies. Many are searching for a solution to the crisis here and abroad. Biblical principles regarding how we live and provide for our families and ourselves that bring stability and well-being into societies are ignored. Moreover, while socialism is on the rise, the Catholic Church is helping in advancing it with its socialistic agenda. The anomaly is the fact that while there is abject poverty in numerous nations overtaken by socialism, many world leaders are already prepared to accept it. The Vatican officially states, "With her social doctrine, the Church aims 'at helping man on the path of salvation.' This is her primary and sole purpose." However, mankind's purpose by nature is to be free to determine his own well-being. When mankind's purpose is opposed to the objective of the Vatican, it is time to be alert and sound the alarm."

I didn't get to listen to all the youtube video, but it appears to me that it is easy to debunk the Roman Catholic economic doctrine just by looking at the new world countries influenced by the Catholics, and those influenced by the Protestants. What would Pope Francis say in answering those types of questions.
On another front, I see more writings from Reformed perspectives in regards to justice issues in that there may be a movement pushing that agenda. There is no doubt the church does many things wrong, but to discount everything done in the last three-fourths century is just throwing out too much. I kinda see it as people feeling more productive in changing physical and emotional needs. Changing spiritual needs is more abstract and lots harder.
