Akchually(, edit : should have read the other comments before posting, they explained it better than i do in the following paragraph).
I.m.h.o., the Christ criticized their lack of respect towards God, because if they were really faithful they wouldn’t care about personal wealth in comparison to the Almighty, once you start serving the power of finance instead of God then you stop serving God, you can’t have two masters.
But “don’t do unto others what you wouldn’t want to be done unto you”, or prior to that “Thou shall not steal”, is already all that we need to condemn the parasitic practice of lucrative properties, they’ll gain money for “investing”, as if it was risky(, not in the case of interests, nor for rent, but if they want to take a risk with actions by selling them at a higher price, then don’t give them dividends that should belong to the workers, and/or eventually R&D and/or consumers), as well as salary differences, even companies with limited responsability have circumvented this concept of risk and, i mean, all the negative externalities should be enough to condemn the current application of neoliberalism(, not to say capitalism in general).
We oppose capitalism because it’s immoral, if we’re right then believers should have our back(, since morals/virtues are their domain). Since they don’t it’s either a mistake on our part or a lack of communist (counter-)propaganda.
