We'll start with some definition:
Quote:
Catholicism is a broad term that refers to the body of the Catholic faith, its theologies and doctrines, its liturgical, ethical, spiritual, and behavioral characteristics, as well as a religious people as a whole.[1] In one sense, it refers to the Roman Catholic Church and the Christians living in communion with the Church of Rome. In a broader sense, Catholicism is associated with any church, including Anglicanism, that claims continuity with the Catholic Church before separation into Greek or Eastern and Latin or Western.

Christianity is a monotheistic religion centered on the life and teachings of Jesus.

No need to delve any further there. We all generally know (or so I hope in this forum) the teachings and ways of both of these. Such examples as love thy neighbour and so forth. So surely any doctrine(s) that holds that all people should be: treated as equals and have the same political, economic, social, and civil rights and means of production being used for the good of everyone not just a few, where people live side by side in peace and prosperity should be ahdered to and/or sought after?
Incase you are lost the above pretty much equates to a socialist state that is moving towards a final communistic model. Ignoring the exclusion of religion in the marxist philosophy what is it about such a movement that would benefit mankind for the better overall is so against your teachings and way of living?
Whether you want to admit it or not, marxism provides more sense and familiarity in comparison to your teachings in its plans and attitudes in the global social organisation for mankind than anything else does.
So why don't religions endorse it? Is it because it renounces them? I renounce religion and yet they still say God loves me and the want for a good, safe decent life for me is still there from them no matter what.
