Vatican thumbs up for Karl Marx after Galileo, Darwin and Oscar Wilde
Richard Owen - October 22, 2009
Karl Marx, who famously described religion as “the opium of the people”, has joined Galileo, Charles Darwin and Oscar Wilde on a growing list of historical figures to have undergone an unlikely reappraisal by the Roman Catholic Church.
L’Osservatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper, said yesterday that Marx’s early critiques of capitalism had highlighted the “social alienation” felt by the “large part of humanity” that remained excluded, even now, from economic and political decision-making.
Georg Sans, a German-born professor of the history of contemporary philosophy at the pontifical Gregorian University, wrote in an article that Marx’s work remained especially relevant today as mankind was seeking “a new harmony” between its needs and the natural environment. He also said that Marx’s theories may help to explain the enduring issue of income inequality within capitalist societies.

Isn’t it interesting?
“9/11″ was planned and executed from the alleged biggest benefactors who write books with titles like “A Civilization of Love” or publish kind of world order “five-year plans” with the slogan “Liebe in Wahrheit”, “Love in Truth”, “Caritas in Veritate”. It doesn’t get fatter.
Thanks for the link, Terry!
