I suppose it depends how you define "socialism."  If you mean totalitarian Marxist Communism then I agree.  If you mean a cradle-to-grave welfare state, then I disagree.

I think Christianity is compatible with a wide range of political systems, including anarcho-capitalism, monarchy, and European-style social welfare states.  "Render unto Caesar" and all that.  Christianity doesn't dictate a specific political system or form of government IMHO. · _{2 hours ago}

I don't blame Foxfier for unfollowing (if, in fact, she did) when this is the tenor of the commentary. Nowhere have I seen any Catholic I'm aware of on this thread offer infallibility as a smokescreen. That's just you taking a particular Catholic idea--misconstruing it in the process--and raising a silly argument that no Catholic here brought up to explain the Pope's remarks. There's plenty to argue about on the thread; no need to argue a point you've hallucinated.

I join you in the criticism as well. The new recruiting methods target poor countries with no appreciation whatsoever for capitalism or a free market. I was highly supportive of JPII but my intolerance of anti-capitalist talk beginsnow.

No more excuses... no more religioussanctimony...from officials who are more than happy to extract tithes from those who can't afford itor equally as  irresponsible, put the burden on those who can.

Disgraceful and very, very un- American. · _{59 minutes ago}
