‘Roman Charity” by Pieter Pauwel Reubens circa 1612. The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that “faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain”. This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.

This is a draft. I’m sharing this with you because I love you and I want you to know that you can criticize or reject capitalism and be, at the very same time, a faithful catholic.

Indeed, you might feel wholly affirmed in your disgust for capitalism after perusing this draft of catholic thinkers (or thinkers, who are bracketed, responsible for greatly influencing catholic thought) that you may share this list and announce with great confidence: It’s time to move beyond capitalism!

Here’s my not-yet-updated list, ready to share. I will expand on the list in the near future and attach some description to the figures listed on it; it will include many more contemporary figures – those you can email and share your faithful anti-capitalist joy with!

Imagine how amazing it is that catholics have only had about two hundred years to reject capitalism by name! Our fathers, mothers, and doctors have said so much on greed, usury, worldly things, and care for the poor that suffocates any attempt to reconcile capitalism with the faith taught by the Church; it’s a pity that they weren’t able to reject it like you are, today.

Do some research and share (in the comments or by email) some names of thinkers who have simply not been able to embrace capitalism!
