What the Popes Really Say About Socialism

It really amazes me how many Catholics and other Christians will attach themselves so-called social justice issues, uniting in power and allowing themselves to be co-oped by groups which seem to have good intentions but in reality hate everything Christianity is all about. Groups which reject Christian morality, ethics and sound reason as well as the natural order of life and natural law.

Yes as Christians we are suppose to take take care of our fellow man, but we are to do so as a Christian community not through cold, calculating and impersonal bureaucracies which we find in state sponsored charities and entitlement programs.

Once I had an attraction to socialism, I thought I saw Christian principles intertwined in its ideas of justice and equality.  I found myself getting more and more involved in progressive groups and found them to be more or less front groups for more radical revolutionary and socialist entities.  I also found that the "higher" ups, the educated elites, the committed, and the true believers acted as cold, calculating and impersonal mini-dictators and/or blinded useful idiots. People that were willing to destroy individual thought, reigning in any and all dissent from their misguided ideas of "justice".  They used the words  freedom,  justice and equality, just empty buzz words for a reality that did not exist in their overall plan.

Just as the article says socialism is "hideous", "destructive", "wicked", and "perverted"  for it turns the world on its head, with no sound plan to make it right again.  Please read  What the Popes Really Say About Socialism, you may just find that too many that claim to speak for the Church, but have embraced left wing nut idea, don't have a clue what the Church's real leadership taught on these ideas.
