The history of liberating ideas is the history of the battle to ignore them and divide their partisans. Likewise, we find that Christian ideas had been ignored in essence by the ecclesiastical cupolas and they had been separated from Socialism, which is their natural evolution.
In order to visualize the close connection between Christianity and Socialism, we have to read some interesting paragraphs from documents of the Second Vatican Council.
The Council is the assembly of every Christian bishop in the world; the oldest was called by Saint Peter en Jerusalem in the 50. The Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) called by Pope John XXIII, meant a renewal movement, and an attempt to go back to that energy, to the essence of the original Christianity.
“God destined the earth and all it contains for all people and nations so that all created things would be shared fairly by all humankind under the guidance of justice tempered by charity. No matter how property is structured in different countries, adapted to their lawful institutions according to various and changing circumstances, we must never lose sight of this universal destination of earthly goods. In their use of things people should regard the external goods they lawfully possess as not just their own but common to others as well, in the sense that they can benefit others as well as themselves. Therefore everyone has the right to possess a sufficient amount of the earth's goods for themselves and their family. This has been the opinion of the Fathers and Doctors of the church, who taught that people are bound to come to the aid of the poor and to do so not merely out of their superfluous goods. Persons in extreme necessity are entitled to take what they need from the riches of others. Faced with a world today where so many people are suffering from want, the council asks individuals and governments to remember the saying of the Fathers: "Feed the people dying of hunger, because if you do not feed them you are killing them," and it urges them according to their ability to share and dispose of their goods to help others, above all by giving them aid which will enable them to help and develop themselves.”
“The right to private ownership is not opposed to the various forms of public ownership. But the transfer of goods from private to public ownership may be undertaken only by competent authority in accordance with the demands and within the limits of the common good, and it must be accompanied by adequate compensation. Furthermore, the state has the duty to prevent people from abusing their private property to the detriment of the common good.”
That is how church of Christ speaks. Its identification with the principles of the Bolivarian Revolution is understand, and it is understood the reason why the bishops of Sanhedrin, who are defenders of merchants, confront it,
Chávez is Christianity and Socialism!!
