Used Book in Good Condition
I tend to be of the mind that this sub leans opposite political libertarianism; however, I do believe that 'pro-life libertarianism' is perfectly reconcilable with the Catholic faith.
The economic case for this is made by Tom Woods in his book, The Church and the Market, and is similarly held by the likes of Judge Andrew Napolitano.
Of course, for a more thorough exploration of the intersection between faith and liberty, you might find the Acton Institute to be helpful as well.
Haven't read it, but Woods wrote and entire book to address that very issue
This one, in addition to others by Thomas Woods, is worth reading.

Sigh, hard fail.
> I have to ask the question to my Catholic friends who believe in Papal infallibility that also happen to believe in free market capitalism: how do you square the two philosophies?

Europe is a great example, of course. Behind the iron curtain, communists imposed atheism (sometimes by imprisoning and torturing clergy to death), Christmas became "the Festival of Lights", discussing the theological part of philosophy became taboo, etc. Result: destruction of cohesion, collapse in national pride (not that there was much left to be proud of, and pride itself was outlawed for being 'nationalist'), promotion of paedophilia - actively at that, the Green party in Germany had adults diddling children to 'explore their sexuality' as part of kindergarten education, and overall the exploitation of people became easier because people are just animals, right? Fuck 'em, no big deal, nothing sacred about human life. Of course the former communists states have largely learnt their lesson, they're far more Christian than western Europe.
Western Europe, by the by, is a cultural mess. It's in full swing of demographic collapse, collapse in cohesion/trust among citizens, the past (including the Christian part of it) is something to be ashamed of so good-bye national pride, and with it personal pride (education is down-stream from this, because you can't teach the truth if the truth would result in a resurgence of pride; the education system is in consequence an absolute mess of political correctness and worshipping of the multiculti model). Gay marriage is a-ok, and what do we see pop up? Movements promoting the legalization of paedophilia, bestiality, and necrophilia! Yay, doesn't that sound familiar!
The US is the same. MENA is the same too, Christianity first rose to prominence there before spreading to Europe, then they were conquered and forcibly converted to Islam: one guess as to what that did for the region's progress.
There isn't a lot of research on this, because researchers are afraid of being shunned for saying it (and they are), but Christian communities have:
And much more. I'll leave you some sources for this and others, if you'll care to inform yourself about this phenomenon further (some might seem unrelated but brave through them, they all touch on this topic):
(for the science journals, if you're not particularly inclined toward research, just scroll down to the "Discussion" or the "Conclusion" section where they summarise their findings)
Not a podcast, but pretty close to what you're looking for.
