[Dr. Sivana]

Gee, how did Pope Pius XI slip this little gem past?

DIVINI REDEMPTORIS ENCYCLICAL OF POPE PIUS XI ON ATHEISTIC COMMUNISM

Also, why didn't Archbishop Fulton Sheen get smacked down, when he stated that Catholicism was Christ and the Cross, while Communism was just the Cross?

[Skepolitic]

We can take some comfort that Francis just issued excoriation of capitalism as an apostolic exhortation.

If I understand correctly, encyclicals trump exhortations.

[Zionist Conspirator]

You evidently missed the part of the article which granted that Catholicism officially rejects Communism, socialism, and Marxism "by name" and therefore has never advocated any of those philosophies "by name."

However, the point was that the same philosophies with the names removed are being advocated by Catholic leaders today.

Also, the article deals with the liberal, post-VII Church, not the old pre-VII Church.
