Capitalism and Catholic social teaching

Fr. Robert Sirico is interviewed in this video-clip posted over at the Acton Institute:  Is Capitalism Catholic?  In some Catholic circles the free market and private enterprise are almost dirty words -- authentic Catholic teaching on the economic order embraces a vibrant and healthy private sphere for economic activity.  Sirico provides a good defense of the market economy and free enterprise.  Well worth watching!

He's got a good quote in there as well, "For me the important thing is not whether you are radical or not, but whether you are right or not.  I am just looking for the truth in my life."
