Religion in Europe? It’s complicated
It’s not unusual for Europe—especially Western Europe—to be portrayed as a continent in which religion and, more specifically, religious practice is in decline. No doubt there’s much truth to that. When you start looking at the hard information, however, it soon es apparent that the situation is plicated. Take, for example, France. It is often portrayed as a highly secularized society. Again, there is considerable truth to that picture. Yet a recent study of the state of religion in France...
Inadequate: Catholic magazine explains why it published Communist propaganda
If Dean Dettloff’s “The Catholic Case for Communism” were intended to be thought-provoking, it raises only one question: Why did America magazine facilitate this mendacious PR exercise? Editor Fr.

Additionally, the left’s praise of democratic socialism has increased dramatically in the past decade. Now, over half of Democrats are in favor of socialism...
There is no ‘Catholic case for communism’
On Tuesday, the Jesuit-runAmerica magazine published an apology for Communism that would have been embarrassing in Gorbachev-era Pravda. “The Catholic Case for Communism” minimizes Marxism’s intensely anti-Christian views, ignores its oppression and economic decimation of its citizens, distorts the bulk of Catholic social teaching on socialism, and seemingly ends with a call to revolution.
