The OP is intolerant of people with money too. How does he raise his children? Go and try not to earn a lot of money?
I believe too much is being read into the OP's question. The new Pope seems to espouse some of these ideas except maybe abortion. This Pope has done a great deal of work for the poor and underprivileged and seems to throw of the materialistic trappings of the Church and push more for the spiritual. Rich people, of course, can be very religious/spiritual as well. And if you look at people like the Gates they seem to strive to create a better world with their charity.

That's why I suggested checking out a Catholic Church as they seem to have changed quite a bit because of the leadership of Popes like Francis.
