I went until I couldn't see where he was going. He defines things completely different than I do. E.g., he says:

"Christians should demand for everyone their triune birthright of "hope of rest, hope of product, hope of pleasure in the work itself"—not the hopeless and infernal world of the capitalist round-the-clock workhouse."

My definition of capitalism has nothing to do with round-the-clock working. It means something very specific--the idea of investing labor, NOW, into the development or generation of modes of production that will increase total productivity in the long run. That's all it means to me. It has nothing to do with round-the-clock work. When definitions start becoming too different than conventional ones, I have a hard time following the author. I'm sure I probably agree with what he's trying to say. He just doesn't just language I would use to communicate it.
