"Absolute Liberalism contradicts our common humanity. Absolute Democracy our obvious inequality."

No they don't. That's a modern lense on the Church fathers. They read Genesis theologically, as in, "God creates".

St. Augustine is noted in saying in De Genesi ad Litteram that if right reason contradicts our interpretation of Scripture, then our interpretation of Scripture is wrong. He also rejected sequential 24 hour days.

Origen said it was "inconceivable" to read Genesis as literal history.

St. John Chrysostom:
“Moses accommodated his words to our capacity.”
(Homilies on Genesis 13.3)

St. Justin Martyr
“Moses spoke in allegories.”
(Dialogue with Trypho 90)

You're using a modern view on even the concept of "literal" that is entirely unfounded and anachronistic.

[Dixie First @DixiePropaganda]

Those should be considered common, because they are a necessity. If you wanna talk about the solutions to achieve this, we can.

The idea that private property is somehow absolute is nothing more than liberal nonsense. Yes, the poor can just take what they need, not only that, it's justice for them to do so.

This is Christianity. Don't like how radical it is? Sucks to suck.

[Dixie First @DixiePropaganda]

You just called the Bible, and many of the greatest theologians (Like St. Thomas Aquinas) "Communist garblegook"

St. Thomas Aquinas:
In cases of need all things are common property, so that there would seem to be no sin in taking another's property, for need has made it common.
ST II-II, q.66, a.7

Deuteronomy 15:7-8
If one of thy brethren that dwelleth within thy gates of thy city in the land which the Lord thy God will give thee, come to poverty: thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor close thy hand, But shalt open it to the poor man, thou shalt lend him, that which thou perceivest he hath need of.

Leviticus 19:9–10
When thou reapest the corn of thy land, thou shalt not cut down all that is on the face of the earth to the very ground: nor shalt thou gather the ears that remain. Neither shalt thou gather the bunches and grapes that fall down in thy vineyard: but shalt leave them to the poor and the strangers to take. I am the Lord your God.

Matthew 12:3–4
But he said to them: Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and they that were with him: How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the loaves of proposition, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for them that were with him, but for the priests only?

James 2:15–16
And if a brother or sister be naked and want daily food: And one of you say to them: Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; yet give them not those things that are necessary for the body, what shall it profit?

Matthew 25:35-40
For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink: I was a stranger, and you took me in: Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me. Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry and fed thee: thirsty and gave thee drink? Or when did we see thee a stranger and took thee in? Or naked and covered thee? Or when did we see thee sick or in prison and came to thee? And the king answering shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me. Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, which was prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty and you gave me not to drink. I was a stranger and you took me not in: naked and you covered me not: sick and in prison and you did not visit me. Then they also shall answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister to thee? Then he shall answer them, saying: Amen: I say to you, as long as you did it not to one of these least, neither did you do it to me.

@MDHensley5 @carbo_al It's the most charitable organization on the planet bro

[Dixie First @DixiePropaganda]

@forsman_josh @carbo_al Modern? St. Thomas Aquinas teaches that if the poor are in need, they can just take.

In cases of need all things are common property, so that there would seem to be no sin in taking another's property, for need has made it common.
ST II-II, q.66, a.7

[Dixie First @DixiePropaganda]

@SluttyMudd @carbo_al Well, that's Catholic theology. Radical? Sure. Good? Absolutely.

St. Thomas Aquinas:

@P_vonOberstein @carbo_al @StunProdStud Doesn't require slavery. The poor can just take in need.

St. Thomas Aquinas:

[Dixie First @DixiePropaganda]

Private property is not absolute. Necessity may suspend it.

[Dixie First @DixiePropaganda]

Correct, Holy Father.

In cases of need all things are common property, so that there would seem to be no sin in taking another's property, for need has made it common.

@ThxTom90228 @HazThomist The Marxists actually stole our slogans.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7

Mussolini was most certainly NOT an atheist.

@Alex_RP_1 @poperespecter1 Do I still need the home?

[Dixie First @DixiePropaganda]

@Kimmich_00 @TheLeftMons Almost like this is a straw man or something

[Dixie First @DixiePropaganda]

@Alex_RP_1 @poperespecter1 How is this not a non-sequitur? If it is necessity, one can take.

[Dixie First @DixiePropaganda]

@Alex_RP_1 @poperespecter1 sorry, ST II-II, q.66, a.7, s.c.*

[Dixie First @DixiePropaganda]

1. They shouldn't be there in the first place

2. If they would die if they don't eat, then yeah, it wouldn't be immoral for them to take the food

St. Thomas Aquinas himself says this:

In cases of need all things are common property, so that there would seem to be no sin in taking another's property, for need has made it common.
ST I-II, q.66, a.7, s.c.

[Dixie First @DixiePropaganda]

@Alex_RP_1 @poperespecter1 It's not theft to take food if it's absolutely needed.

[Dixie First @DixiePropaganda]

@hermestr1smeg @poperespecter1 The current government yes, but government as a whole, and I mean the concept of the State, is not.

Let's not fall into the retarded Libertarian utopian myth.

[Dixie First @DixiePropaganda]

@Alex_RP_1 @poperespecter1 The common good is common to all.
