"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.

I cant even form a coherent thought on this, so religion in the us is basically restricted to posturing now? Ive read on here a while ago that americans actually worship satan or something to that effect and shit like this only gives more credibility to that argument, especially now that the pope literally said that marxists are better christians lmfaoooo
Americans worship money
I've read a few takes on that over the years, including from some comrades with a liberation theologist background. I'd love to read something more detailed about the theory that American Christianity is not just hypocritical, but an actual deliberate inversion.
same here!
