Could the Catholic church turn into a socialist ally? (lemmygrad.ml)

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.

True, the furthest you could probably go with Jesus is use him to argue in favor of politically neutral pacifism which is what Jehovah's Witnesses do.

Liberation theologists thought differently.
