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."
However, the point was that the same philosophies with the names removed are being advocated by Catholic leaders today.
Also, the article deals with the liberal, post-VII Church, not the old pre-VII Church.

I like quacking, waddling, winged and web-footed swimming birds with bills,
but I vehemently reject the charge that I like ducks or geese (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".
