CSomevlistakenIdeasClarified

WhyistheCatholicChurchopposedto Socialism?

Beforeansweringthatquestion,itis necessarytoseewhatismeantbySocialism;forthewordisoftenvaguely usedtosignifyanythingfromameasuredesignedtohelpthepoortoRussianCommunism.Infact,ourlocal "Comrades,-inorderthemoreeffectivelytoconcealtheirrealaims,now usuallycallthemselves"Socialists."

However,theword"Socialism"is hereusedtodesignatethatsystemof socialandeconomicorganisationin whichtheStatebecomesthesoleowner ofallthesourcesofproductionand meansofdistribution,andthereby sumestoitselfadespoticcontroloftne chiefactivitiesofhumanlife.

Closelyconnectedwiththeeconomic aimsandprinciplesofSocialismisan all-roundphilosophyoflife.Inthe Socialistphilosophicalsystem,whichis justasmaterialisticastheLiberalist Capitalismagainstwhichitaroseasa reaction,noaccountistakenofmoral orspiritualvalues,norofanylifebeyondthepresent.

Allhumanwantsanddesiresarecentredintemporalbenefitsandanimal gratification.Ilence,allhumanactivitiesaredominatedbyeconomicrelationsandareviewedonlyfromthe economicstandpoint.

Fromtheseprinciplesitfollowsthat dutiesandrightsinregardtofamily andcountry,andeventoGodHimself, ceasetohaveanymeaning.

Sincenoprivateindividualcancontrolproductiveproperty,noonecanbe primarilyresponsibleevenfortheupkeepofhisownwifeandchildren.For these,asforallelse,theState,too, hassupremecontrolinthematterof education.

Consequently,thefamilydisappears asanindependentanddivinelyinstitutedsociety,andthepermanencyof themarriagebondisconsideredneither necessarynordesirable.

Finally,sincereligionhasnorational basisintheSocialistphilosophy,the Churchdisappearsasapublicinstitution,andhasnorightsorstandingin theSocialistState.

Sucharethemainoutlinesofthe systemwhichtheSocialistsaredeterminedtoerectontheruinsofexisting civilisation.

WHYCONDEMNEDBYTHE CHURCH?

1 ThebasicphilosophyofSocialism isfalseandcannotbereconciledwith ChristianityAsPopePiusXIdeclared:

"Ii,likeallerrors,Socialismcontains acertainelementoftruthlandthisthe SovereignPontiffshaveneverdenied), itisneverthelessfoundeduponadoctrineofhumansocietywhichispeculiarlyitsown,whichisopposedtothe teachingoftrueChristianity.'ReligiousSocialism,'ChristianSocialism,' areexpressionsimplyingacontradictioninterms.Noonec-snbeatthe sametimeasincereCatholicandatrue Socialist."("QuadragesimoAnno,")

(2)Itsaimsareunattainablein practice;forthosewhoholdupbefore menthepromiseofanearthlyparadise, freefromsuffering,povertyandirksomelabouronlydeludemenbypromiseswhichcannotbefulfilled.Labour(thepunishmentoftheFallofour FirstParents)and"theotherpains andhardshipsoflifewill accompanymanaslongaslifelasts."(Rerum Novarum).

(3)Socialismisbasedonafalseinterpretationofhumanequality.By insistingthatclassdistinctionsarealwaysbasedontyrannyandoppression, itcontradictsboththenaturallawof moralityandtheChristianRevelation. Menareequalinsomerespects;they areunequalinotherrespects.They

areequalasperson,inorigin,nature anddestiny.Theyareunequalinopportunities,abilityandcharacter;from whichinequalities,inequalityinsocial ranknecessarilyfollows.

Moreover,humansocietycannotfunctionwithoutauthority,whichhasits ultimateorigininGod.Andthepossessionofauthoritynecessarilyimplies respectforlawfulrulersandobedience tojustlaw;hence,again,inequality.

* * PRIVATEOWNERSHIPANATURALRIGHT.

HisHolinessPopePiusXII.consecratedthewar-tornworldtotheImmaculateHeartoftheBlessedVirgin recently,whenheprayedthat"peace mayreturntomen'ssouls,"andthat theorderoftheKingdomofGodmay prevail.

TheoccasionwasadiscoursebyHis HolinessbroadcasttoPortugalbythe VaticanCityRadioStation.

Itmarkedtheculminationofobservancescommemoratingthe25th.anniversaryoftheapparitionoftheBlessedVirginatFatima.TheHolyFather spokeinPortuguese.

PopePiusprayed,too,forinfidels stillenvelopedintheshadowofdeath, forthoseseparatedfromtheChurch byerroranddissension.Heprayed forthosewhoprofessaspecialdevotion totheBlessedVirginMary,invoking "peaceandcompletefreedomforthe HolyChurchofGodnowencountering onallsidesafloodofneo-paganismthat isentirelymaterialistic," PrayertoBlessedVirgin.

UrgingthePortuguesetohaveunswervingconfidenceinGodandthe QueenofPeace,andtopraytothe QueenofPeaceforaworldanguished bytheimmensetragedyofwar,Pope Piussaid:

PopePiussaidhewasunitinghimselfwithhisbelovedspiritualchildren ofPortugalinpraiseandthanksgiving toGodforallHisBlessings.liesaid, too,thathewasparticularlyhappybecausethePortuguesehadassociated thecommemorationoftheFatimaapparitionwithhisownepiscopaljubilee FerventDevotion.

RecognitionisduetoalltheinstrumentsofDivineProvidence,butespeciallytheBlessedVirginMary,the HolyFatheradded.Hepointedout thattheperilofCommunismthreateningin1936wasremovedintime,and thatPortugalisnowenjoyingthe blessingofpeaceamidstthedesolation ofwar.These,PopePiusdeclared, arepricelessbenefitsimplyingtheduty ofgratitudetotheHeavenlyPatroness.Recentcelebrationsandpilgrimagesattesttothisgratitudeonthe partofthePortuguese.andgiveassuranceforthefutureifsupportedby theavoidanceofsinandvirtuous Catholiclife.ThenHisHolinessasserted,invocationoftheMotherof Godwillbeansweredimmediately.

PopePiusconcludedhisdiscourse bysolemnlyimpartingtheApostolic BenedictiontothePresidentandpeopleofPortugal.
