I don't believe that they (the church leadership) are naive. I believe they are communists. Years ago, I took a course on Marxism. The instructor was a high level communist involved in all sorts of pro-Cuba crap. One of his favorite stories was to talk about one of his friends, who, at that time, was the head of the National Council of Churches. The humor, for him, was that his friend could never concede that at the heart of Marxism was the bedrock of immutably materialist beliefs. This Professor thought it hugely funny that his friend kept trying to synthesize some kind of amalgamate between Marx and Jesus. My instructor thought that was the height of naivete, not that his friend was an active and committed communist in a cleric's collar but couldn't admit that his "faith" was a sham.

That, I believe, is far more the reality. This Mr. Fox knew exactly what he was about but it wasn't the Jesus of the Bible - it was his own radical cleric vision of utopia that he, and those like him, have pasted a picture of Jesus onto. Unfortunately, his opposite kook numbers believe in a radically different kind of utopia that calls for the murder of infidels - even if they are apostate Marxist infidels.
