Excellent question. The answer is yes, and no.
Capitalism by itself is not antithetical to Christianity (or even Communism, for that matter). It is considered a necessary, even welcome, stage in History. The catch here is that this applies only to Industrial Capitalism.
On the other hand, Finance capitalism, and the entire apparatus required to sustain and propagate it globally, *is* antithetical to Christianity. It's Mammon.
