God has certainly not granted the human equal stewardship. He deliberately gives more to some than others. Some get the looks, some the brains, some the money, some the business acumen, some the scientific acumen, some the mechanical acumen. Some have more leadership abilities than others. Some are physically stronger, or in better health than others. Some are clergy, some are laypeople. Some are officers, some are enlisted. Some have more grace than others. Some are choleric, some melancholy, some sanguine, and some phlegmatic.

God deiberately created people to be different. "All men are created equal" means that all are equal before the law, not that everybody's paycheck should be the same.

"It is the tendency of the world to go to extremes."

--Mother Mary Potter, British 18th century mother superior up for canonization

One extreme: all humans are literally equal before God, therefore none should own anything, the government (the "people"!) should own everything, all should receive the same pay, and any deviation from this is unjust. (Basically the Communist philosophy.)

The opposite extreme: God made some superior in health, strength, natural talent, and family background to others, and since in the animal kingdom the strong crush the weak, strong, healthy humans should crush dark-skinned, handicapped, and mentally retarded people. ("Eugenics", this philosophy is called, the basic philosophy of Urantiaism and Nazism.)

Christians, let us see tge horror and absurdity of both these extremes, and embrace enlightened free enterprise, and a judicial system that supports liberty and justice for all.

No, eugenicists, mentally handicapped people should not be gassed in concentration camps. No, Communists and other liberals, handicapped people will not make as much money as other people.

Christianity is about common sense and reality, no?

There are no "Catholic revelations" Louie.

There are plenty. Various saints have prohecied things abd there have been many apparitions of Jesus and Mary whereby prophecies were made.

Catherine Emerich made more than any other one person, probably.

"A government of harmless intent"? Maybe Lenin, Trorsky, and Stalin meant no harm. Maybe they honestly believed taking over even the smallest businesses really would help the people. Maybe, ehen Stalin collectivized all those farms, he really believed that food production would skyrocket. It takes more than harmless intent---it takes people who know what they are doing, people who take history as their guide (a liberal could be defined as a person who does not take history as his guide).

"A government to manage resources"? Any government that takes on the task of micro-managing resources and business is a government that is way too powerful, no matter who altruistic and well-meaning their intentions were when they started.

I really recommend you read Animal Farm by George Orwell. Oh, the revolution started so well! How happy the animals were! But see how their revolution rapidly devolved.

Catherine Emerich described the hose where Jesus, Mary, and Joseph lived, to the nth degree, though she had never seen it with her own eyes. She described many other places like that.

A kid eating marigolds is a far cry from a modern adult taking LSD.

Lud, you ask Shy: “Shy, do you own the clothes on your back? Do you own the computer that you typed that message on?”

Lud, in his mind, he does not own it, we all own it. It belongs to all of us. So we need to go take it from him, especially if we need his clothes to keep warm this winter, and especially if we need his computer when ours breaks down or whatever. And if we need a wife, we can just go take his, if he has one (which I am sure he don't, no woman in their right mind would have him).

If Jesus were trying to teach a lesson of socialism here, He would have not said that one man received five talents, another man two, and and another man one. The talents would have been divided equally---each man receiving 2.6666 talents.

Jesus gives us a great description of private property capitalism, the greedy nature of those whom abuse leverages and advantages inherent within the inequitable system, and the consequences of such an inequitable system of a divided house.

Jesus was a capitalist. He had His own carpentry business.
