You evidently missed the part of the article which granted that Catholicism officially rejects Communism, socialism, and Marxism "by name" and therefore has never advocated any of those philosophies "by name."

The whole system has been formally rejected, by name. The article's opening was so wrong, it didn't call for reading the whole thing.

The Pre-VII encyclicals are not abrogated. In fact, they are often cited in later encyclicals.

Individual Bishops, even Bishop's conferences are not "The Church". L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper, is not "The Church".

Heads of theology of departments on Universities who identify themselves as Catholic, are not "The Church".

That right there's your problem.

You mean like the Syllabus of Errors is constantly referenced and reinforced? [/sarcasm]

Apparently neither is the Pope.

Heads of theology of departments on Universities who identify themselves as Catholic, are not "The Church".

In other words, anything, from any source whatsoever, that embarrasses you is "not 'The Church.'" Gotcha.

We'll all need to check with you from now on I suppose.
