  JPII, in Centesimus Annus, 30-31 wrote “‘man should not consider his material possessions as his own, but as common to all,’ because ‘above the laws and judgments of men stands the law, the judgment of Christ. God gave the earth to the whole human race for the sustenance of all its members, without excluding or favoring anyone.’” This is referred to as the “universal destination of created goods” (He is quoting Leo XIII, Rerum Novarum, 22).

  Why is it that many conservative Catholics seem to be unaware of Catholic social teachings (and know even less of Marxism)?
