But Catholicism has tended to liberalism, and liberalism blurs into socialism.
And socialism is merely communism by the glassful.
Within a church body,
it is often the case that we are a “bit socialist”, or at least “communal”.
This is entirely the case within a nuclear family, of course.
The mistake happens when this is extrapolated to the society at large.
This is similar to the macro vs micro evolution argument.
Yes, change occurs within a species, but to extrapolate that is just, well, unfounded extrapolation.
All this tending and blurring does not give an accurate, still less a logical account of things.
Laz, my friend, couldn't we say the Virgin Mary tends toward class-consciousness (Luke 1: "God has filled the hungry with good things, but the rich He has sent away empty"), and class-consciousness tends toward liberalism, and liberalism blurs into communist totalitarianism, therefore the Blessed Virgin Mary was a Maoist"?
Or Laz tends toward radioactivity, radioactivity is associated with nuclear stuff, that makes me think of The China Syndrome, therefore Lazamataz is Jane Fonda?
Love ya, Laz.
