AntithesisOnEssentialNorms BetweenChurchAndSocialism

VaticanCity,Jan.20.-An"antithesis concerningessentialprinciples"existsbetweenChristianityandsocialism,according toafront-pageeditorialinL'Osservatore Romano,VaticanCitydaily.

TheeditorialreferredtoaChurch-approvedmeetinginMunichofscholarsandstatesmenlastyear, whichcametotheconclusionthatthereisnopoint ofconvergencebetweentheChurch'ssocialdoctrine andsocialism.

CitingPopePiusXI'sdenunciationofSocialismin hisencyclical"QuadragesimoAnno,"thepaperwent ontosay:"Despiteclearpapalteaching,somepeople, excessivelyconcernedwithimmediatepracticalconsiderations,wouldthinkofshelvingprinciplesat leasttemporarily."

Itsaidthat"thetruthisthatthoughsocialistsmay sometimeshaverecoursetotheGospel,inrealitythey distortitsmeaning,andbetweenChristianityand socialismthereisanantithesisconcerningessential principles."

Amongtheopposedprincipleswerelistedconcepts oftheState,therelationamongclasses,theattitude towardreligion,andtowardmarriage,lifeandthe principlesofeducationandteaching.

"Thedeep-rootedreasonforthesefundamental differencesresidesinthefactthatSocialismdoesnot attachanyimportancetothesupernaturalorder,"the papersaid.

Turningtomodernsocialism,itadded:"Thesedays socialismoutstretchestwohands:One,inthenameof unityoftheworkingclasses,wantstoholdfastto thehandoftheCommunist;theotherisstretchedout towardsCatholics,notonlybythosewho,although linkedtoCommunists,professtoespousethecauseof democracy,butalsobythosewhowanttobewith Communistsineverything."

Theeditorialreferredtothose"fewnaivepeople whomaylabourundertheillusionthattheyareusing them(thesocialists)fortheirownends."Itisthey "whoarebeingusedasmoreorlessunknowinginstruments,"theeditorialwarned.
