The Counter Tradition of Capital R Romanticism

There is a counter tradition of critics of capitalism in the church, says John Sutter. The name I give to this counter tradition is capital R romanticism and includes Christians though many are not. They see labor as properly artisanal rather than mechanical; they favor artisans and craftsmen. Pope Francis belongs in this romantic lineage because when you read what he writes in Laudato Si, his encyclical on eco-consciousness, it's on all society.
