Top Vatican Official Proposes Communist China as ‘Best’ Model of Catholic Social Teaching Today
With forced abortions, slave labor, the rampant persecution of Christians, severely limited freedoms, and a church demolition campaign under China’s one-party system, it is hard to imagine how anyone—let alone a high ranking Catholic prelate—could put forward China as an example of Catholic social teaching done right, and social media has predictably lit up with commenters excoriating the apparently delusional bishop for descending into “self-parody.”

What is also very revealing about this socialist (if not outright communist) prelate is his silence on the ever-burgeoning Christian Church in spite of its intense persecution at the hands of the state. Instead he praises communism as being the best model for Catholic social teaching. But there is plus side to this guy's lunacy: Since he didn't say a word about one of the largest Christian churches on the planet, we can be certain Jesus was no socialist.
