Where did Bernie spend his honeymoon? Yes he is married to a RC.
{What is it about worn-out socialist “worker paradises” like the old Soviet Union and Cuba that bring out the romantic in American radical politicians? After Vermont senator Bernie Sanders announced his run for president, Britain’s Guardian newspaper pawed through old archives in his home town of Burlington, Vermont where he served as mayor in the 1980s. They discovered that Sanders really did practice the socialist solidarity he preached about rhetorically. During Bernie’s mayoral tenure, Burlington formed an alliance with the Soviet city of Yaroslavl, 160 miles northeast of Moscow. When in 1988 he married his wife, Jane, the mayor decided it would be a perfect place for his honeymoon. In a tape of his interview with Yaroslavl’s mayor, Alexander Riabkov, Sanders acknowledges that housing and health care appear to be “significantly better” in the U.S. than in the socialist paradise. “However,” he added, “the cost of both services is much, much, higher in the United States.”

yeah so? Jesus was a socialist too
RC's believe in being socialists. That should be obvious. If only more would practice what they preach.
Jesus was a socialist in the Pharisee mode.
The people who live in catholic monasteries--
priests and nuns----and whatever else ends up
there live SOCIALIST lives albeit with a very
AUTHORITATIVE hierarchy but I have never
heard of "socialism" as a dogma of the catholic church
We believe in giving and charity. Although some live as monks or nuns and do not hurt anyone, seems to me
like a waste. I am not referring to a government, but the RCC teaching.
Canon law was compiled as THE LAW of the HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE and includes issues of economy and social structure. It was not based on socialism-----it was a theocratic government with a capitalistic
economy
You right there was social structure, and like every social structure, all are not equal. The US is based on Roman law before the legalization of Christianity, freedom of religion, but all roads do lead to Rome. The NT taught us well, give to Caesar what is his, obey your rulers. Since I'm not wealthy, I will give to others less fortunate or in need, those Republicans hate freedom, at one time the Democrats did, now just the opposite. Like a wheel, keeps on spinning. I got off long ago.
