Socialism is evil. It is the opposite of Christian charity. It turns productive citizens into slaves, and unproductive citizens into domestic animals.

To the extent that Church leaders encourage "society" or "the state" to take over the duties of individuals, families, churches, and private organizations, they are not on the side of God but of Marx.

Should interest Catholics and non-Catholics alike. The problem of government spending is critical and my personal POV is that it should be cut by at least 50%, for starters. Many serious problems would wither on the the vine; and good hearted citizens of all religions (and none) would undoubtedly have more time and inclination to help the less fortunate.

This is a good companion article to the one about the government trying to get Amish people enrolled in the food stamp program. They don't accept government largesse; one said the reason is that the consider that they are their brothers' keepers. I'll find a link and post it.
