Socialism: What Does the Catholic Church Teach?
If you’re a Catholic who votes Democrat, this episode is most especially for you. If you know a Catholic who votes Democrat, you need to get him or her or it to listen to this episode.
Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, AOC, and other assorted morons, miscreants and malcontents advocate for the government giving us all sorts of free stuff. Free college tuition. Free medical care. Free basic income. Free, free, free, free. This is all socialism, plain and simple, and Bernie Sanders flatly admits that he’s a socialist. Actually he’s a Communist, but that’s a whole other issue.
What does the Church teach about socialism? Does the Church even have a teaching on socialism? We’ll find out in today’s episode.

The Wanderer—America’s Oldest Independent Catholic NewspaperMore and more Catholics and Christians will be tested in their faith as our culture continues its collision course with the eternal truths of our Church in the days ahead. The importance of a strong Catholic press in a society where Christianity is threatened on a daily basis is more essential today than ever.
The biased, selective, and casual coverage of events by the secular media that influence our culture has contributed to the pervasive “tolerance” of evil today. Persecution of Christians from the genocide in the Middle East to the continued attacks on Christians by the media, the courts and the legislative system go virtually unchallenged and unreported by the major media today. The media, rather than reporting the news, have become aggressive advocates of agendas behind the news, thus becoming contributors to the moral decay in our society, permeating our families, churches, schools, and much of society at large.
Even within the highest levels of the Catholic Church, there is a prevalent movement to conform 2,000 years of doctrine to the disordered influences of the times with a more than willing media to help.
Much of the mainstream press today has simply become facilitators and apologists for progressive left causes. Witness the one-sided influence the media displayed during the recent elections and then their near apocalyptic reaction after learning the results – not to mention their total astonishment that they could be so out of touch with mainstream America.
If you are tired of being force-fed “news” and propaganda from those longtime champions of abortion, “gay marriage,” climate change, and the all around abundance of Godlessness of our current culture and every other politically correct trend of the day, there is a refreshing alternative for you. For 150 years, The Wanderer has been telling it as it is: exposing the forces, factions, and fallacies that adversely impact our families, churches, and our culture.
If you believe that as Catholics and Christians we must resist the influences of our current culture and confront the forces that are destroying our nation and help restore our families and society to one whose members respect and promote the laws of God, then we must start by becoming more informed on these issues. And we must engage our fellow Catholics as well as teach and defend the tenets of the Catholic faith! The Wanderer newspaper is unmatched in its 150-year history of defending those values and providing an informed resistance to the immoral influences threatening both our churches and our culture.
Therefore, if you value traditional family values, the Catholic faith, the sanctity of human life, and conservative principles and are concerned about the course of this country, our Church, our culture, and the future of your children and grandchildren, I invite you to subscribe to The Wanderer.
I invite you to take a look at our free Online-Daily (updated daily) which contains a sample of what we publish every week in The Wanderer. I hope you will discover that its many benefits are worthy of a subscription. I believe The Wanderer, America’s oldest national Catholic weekly publication, will fortify your Catholic faith and provide you with the additional tools necessary to combat the forces of evil permeating our society today and assist you in your journey towards Heaven.

For $39.00, that is, only $1.50 per week (less than a cup of coffee) you can receive this priceless powerhouse of weekly Catholic content and commentary delivered to your door for six months.
