"Marxs theories may help to explain the enduring issue of income inequality within capitalist societies."
Crap analysis. Viewed in absolute income terms, even the bottom is better off in capitalism, not even counting the personal freedom.

The above is one of the top five reasons I am no longer Catholic.
Too many in the Catholic leadership break the First Commandment by worshiping communism rather than God. And...There is absolutely no way for the ordinary layman to influence reform.

said Marxs early critiques of capitalism had highlighted the social alienation felt by the large part of humanity that remained excluded from economic and political decision-making.Hitler said the same things about capitalism, too.

The British daily, quoting the Vatican newspaper LOsservatore Romano, said Marxs early critiques of capitalism had highlighted the social alienation felt by the large part of humanity that remained excluded from economic and political decision-making. Ping for later.

Lesson number one: Never trust anything a British paper says about the Vatican.
Lesson number two: Not everything written in the Vatican newspaper is ex cathedra. Basically none of it is.
Nothing to see here. Some Europeans like Marx. Big deal.
To: Paladin2
the large part of humanity that remained excluded from economic and political decision-making.Marx does NOT promote these values. Marx believed in centralized, non-democratic economic and political decision making.
These are democratic values in a FREE society, the OPPOSITE of marxism.
Duh.
What are these people thinking?? Marxism is SO 19th century...

A ‘hindu blog’ quotes a British paper quoting a Vatican paper.
One hell of a smoking gun right there. One quote from a lefty prelate (without the cure of souls) two years ago, and suddenly we got headlines like “The Church has decreed eight new cardinal sins and accepts abortion!!!”
Why do I get a weird feeling that this is going to be the same?
To: kronos77
This is why I no longer attend church, and may in fact leave the Catholic Church entirely. Liberalism is destroying that faith, just like it destroys everything else it touches.

The Catholic religion is becoming a communist front, much as the Orthodox religion in Russia was.

"Marxs theories may help to explain the enduring issue of income inequality within capitalist societies." Yes, let's ignore Jesus' "theories" in favor of Marx. Dummasses.

The “winnowing” is going on right now.
Join a good, literal bible believing protestant church.

If Socialism, like all errors, contains some truth (which, moreover, the Supreme Pontiffs have never denied), it is based nevertheless on a theory of human society peculiar to itself and irreconcilable with true Christianity. Religious socialism, Christian socialism, are contradictory terms; no one can be at the same time a good Catholic and a true socialist. -- Pope Pius XI, Quadragesimo Anno
For anyone who is still confused, let them consider that the words of a Papal encyclical trump anything said by a university professor in a newspaper.

And so it proves.
“Georg Sans, a German-born professor of the history of contemporary philosophy at the pontifical Gregorian University...”
The man isn’t even a priest. But how many FReepers will declare this the End of the World based on the word of a nobody with no authority? And worse - gleefully repeat this nonsense?
To: Paladin2
The others were not responsible for 150 years of global misery and tens of millions of deaths
Marx was.

Did you read “Charity in Truth”?
I’ve just started but I don’t see anything Marxlike. It’s about charity individually. Maybe I’m missing it, but I’m not seeing “Government controlled” charity yet. I’m not going to take the word of the MSM without actually reading the document myself.
I’m not sure where you are but if you need help finding a more conservative parish, Catholic FReepers can help you.

Well I do hope I'm wrong.
But Catholicism has tended to liberalism, and liberalism blurs into socialism.
And socialism is merely communism by the glassful.
