Someone ask the Pope what he thinks about Marxism

I just wanted to save this quote for myself, even if I don't get around to talking about it until much, much later:

"Wherever politics tries to be redemptive, it promises too much. Where it wishes to do the work of God it becomes, not divine, but demonic."

Pope Benedict XVI

Truth and Tolerance, p. 116

Social justice through government intervention? Collective salvation by acts of extreme and unequal taxation?

Hardly.
