It’s not what I’ve been hearing from pulpits and as a collective voice. The “give to the poor” has been mangled into a sympathy (at least) with socialism, if not an informal backing. The protestant churches I’ve attended don’t even veil their “redistribute the earnings” socialist message.

I agree the lines have been blurred from the pulpit; however, I think that is relatively exclusive to America, especially in reponse to some of the times where we’ve lost our Christian restraint on Capitalism. In countries where socialism has flourished, I believe you’ll find the Church on the side of human freedom.
