I’ll make it easy for you. The link I am providing is to an encyclical from Pope Pius IX, from December 8, 1864. Among other things, it speaks on the evils of socialism and communism, by name. It also addresses a proper Catholic view of religious freedom. It’s an infallible teaching of the Church. That means that, to be a Catholic, one MUST accept it, and follow it. Some may have forgotten it, given the amount of time that has passed. But, for your personal edification, it is here. You tell me, AFTER READING it, where does it condone socialism? Then, you’ll have some credibility. Until then, it’s one huckster entertaining himself.

Oh, and, just in case you’d like further enlightenment, here’s Rerum Novarum, Pope Leo XIII’s text on labor and capitalism.

You'll make it easy for me, huh?

And quote something from 1864? Wow.

I took my kids out of our Catholic school because we were tired of the leftist crap they promoted. Social justice, global warming, and the junk-science-go-green homework and how they are going 'sacrifice' to save-the-planet.

I suggest you pass along your antiquated home run quote to the principals, teachers and priests(and the majority of voting Catholics) who still promote and believe in the leftist crap.
