Did Martin Luther create concentration camps? I hate him, too, but let's be fair. The attitude to Jews changed, and the crisis of 1870s caused the last bout of antisemitism. This is rather commonly known.
As to the attitude of Catholic Church towards Capitalism - it didn't came "down the centuries", since the Capitalism itself is rather younger. There were certainly opinion on some elements of capitalism - eg usury/banks - which were quietly modified to accomodate reality.
As you very well know, Rerum Novarum was one of the inspirations of the corporatism, and it seems to me that is nearest your position. Speaking about the centuries of the Catholic doctrine is misleading, since the applicable doctrine from that time is nothing more than a few general opinions about just price and dignity of work. If you want anything more, and in particular some ideas on the organisation of state and economy, you will have to look nearer.

In fact, the very word was coined in 1879.

The modern social policy of the Church starts only with Rerum Novarum from 1899, which was quite obviously influenced by Lasalle and socialism.
