Marxists view scientific theories thru the lens of their use-value for the class struggle. So if they can make any kind of superficial comparison between a successful scientific theory and their current polemical needs, they'll support it. It has nothing to do with their judgement of its actual truth.

Have the Communists ever used the Sermon on the Mount to support their theories?

It's called Liberation Theology. This is mostly associated with the Christian Marxists in South America.

Ever hear of "Liberation Theology"? Plenty of devils, some in clerical vestments, quote Scripture.
