I’m not sure where you guys are getting any Marxist teaching out of what Msgr Pope has written here.

“.. leave the harvest to God and the one whom he assigns it.”. That’s not Marxist mentality, that’s simply stating God has a plan and it’s not always our plan, for when and how the harvest is done.

And I don’t know what kind of harvesting you guys have done, but when I’ve harvested vegetables out of a garden, it’s WORK too. So if the person harvesting is different than he that sowed the seed, it’s irrelevant, both are working for God.

Hardly “redistributing wealth”.

You guys getting Marxist teaching out of what Msgr. Pope has written must keep in mind that this is an analogy, a comparison of similar things which are otherwise dissimilar. It is not like a farmer planting his own seed and then someone comes along at harvest time to take the fruit away from him. We ourselves are part of God’s harvest. We are fruit that was harvested from seed planted by others, and the seed that we sow bears fruit that is added to the harvest, the body of Christ.
