Im not very well educated in Christianity, but as far as i know Jesus was aligned with communist ideals, he was extremely egalitarian.

Do you think we should think of the catholic church as a possible ally or would that be counterproductive?

Do you think anti-religion is fundamental to Marxism?

Do you think the anti-religious stance of the Soviets was a mistake?

I personally think trying to work with them instead of against them in places were they are deeply integrated with the population would be the obvious choice.

I am ofcourse talking exclusively about the Catholics only and not the Orthodox or Evangelist.

PD, im not religious. Im a Budhhist, but i dont think of it as a religion.

No shot. Never going to happen. Anticommunism is inherently fundamental to the sort of highly centralized hierarchical structure of Christian ecclesiastical polity.
