Yeah, I was real impressed with the Crusades and the Inquisition inspired and lead by your church. Yes, you do have a magnificent record on human rights. LOL!

I have little empathy for the lazy who refuse to work. That's what the other thread is all about. Socialism is also something your church is noted for pushing.

"Socialism is what your Church is pushing"

Wrong--as you are most of the time.

But pure mercantilism/pure capitalism are equally moral evils, and the Church will not fail to point that out.

You may worry only about yourself; it's your privilege. Hope when you're in a foxhole that that particular attribute is not clear to your buddy--'cause he may just get the same disease.

That would be a loss. /sarcasm

Ignorance is not an excuse in a court room or on the web.

The fundamental error of socialism is anthropological in nature. Socialism considers the individual person simply as an element, a molecule within the social organism, so that the good of the individual is completely subordinated to the functioning of the socio-economic mechanism. Socialism likewise maintains that the good of the individual can be realized without reference to his free choice, to the unique and exclusive responsibility which he exercises in the face of good or evil. Man is reduced to a series of social relationships, and the concept of the person as the autonomous subject of moral decisions disappears.
