Name one denomination that endorses communitarianism.

You'll find Episcopalians, Presbyterians, and Unitarians around here who do.

Maybe the Roman Catholics? Forgive me RCs if I am incorrect.

The RC has a number of "Liberation Theology" types, especially in Central America.

The Bible teaches property rights and charity. There is no communism, not in any forced sense.

Absolutely correct, starting with Genesis 1:28 with the Hebrew word u'redu (IIRC, ורדו), translated as "establish dominion" but actually more related to establishing property lines by walking on the grass, with the requirement to accept the struggle (v'khivshuha) to maintain responsibility for what is within those bounds: every bird, fish, and herding animal. Yup.

“You’ll find Episcopalians, Presbyterians, and Unitarians around here who do. “

Ok, the liberal denominations.

The liberal of everything supports redistribution of wealth. Name a group (Pacific Islanders, bankers, college professors, car salesmen, Kiwanis, Jews,) and the liberal among them will be Marxist in theory.

So I wouldn’t blame the church any more than any other group.

A push toward biblical economics would be a push for personal responsibility, property rights, and charity.

Not towards communitariasm.

The problem with the liberal “church” is that they disregard Scripture wherever it doesn’t fit into their narrative.
