Then why does the Catholic Church tolerate and at times even seem to condone socialism?

I like that question. In fact, I predict that very question will be part of the political battle coming up in 2008.

The Catholic Church doesn't support socialism. Just ask Mel Gibson. But Communists have infiltrated the seminaries just like they have infested the rest of academia. And "liberation theology" (read socialist slavery) has been the result.

Because the leaders have fallen away from the faith. They aren't really Catholics. They don't believe in their hearts, and as we see from the daily newspaper stories, they don't even follow the most minimal of laws. It's a sad situation. But at the same time, remember that you still have to get your own soul to heaven somehow, and pointing to the heretic/socialist/pervert priests isn't going to buy you much when you are in front of St. Peter.
