This is the editor in chief of Billy Grahams newspaper. Billy graham is the holy of Holies for the American evangelical community. By proxy he is beyond influential and part of the political cabal that has been trying to leftoid evangelical Christians. The only other movement I’ve seen on par with this is the effort on Catholics to become socialists, where even one of the major catholic publications said to vote for joe Biden because climate change was more important than abortion…
Yes, they are good at wearing skinsuits. But they're not good at getting anyone to follow them. If no one follows you, are you a leader?
Considering this is the largest evangelical publication in America and the editor in chief has been in charge since 2002 all objective signs point to it being influential
Influential is an empirical question. All signs point to it not being so, as Trump is more popular among evangelicals than even an evangelical like Bush, despite his immoralities. The bleating of these pathetic sheep did exactly nothing, or nothing significant at least.
You could argue they don’t hold sway specifically in the manner of Trump personally and his ability to get votes, but the corruption of churches has been a growing contagion, especially in the evangelical community, with the broader goal not being Trump, but the Overton window
Catholic doctrine has always been a via media between capitalism and socialism, and I can imagine that Americans would call that 'socialism'. See e.g. Rerum novarum. Both unbridled capitalism and communism/socialism are opposed by the Catholic Church, and rightly so.
The problem with the current pope is not "socialism" but the other stupid things, the retreat on the things which the Catholic Church unquestionably got right.

The worst churches in the US are the descendants of the Puritans. Institutions get corrupted.
I don't think he has any real influence, either personally or through his rag.

I mean, is the current pope spreading catholic doctrine?

The irony is that distributism could most accurately be described as third position.
