Communism and the Church - Bishop Fulton Sheen
Now there actually is such a thing in the world as Authoritarianism. It is Communism.
What is the essence of Authoritarianism?
It is three fold.
First it subjects the mind to dogmas.
Second - It makes Fear the basis for obedience.
Third - It destroys freedom of thought.
Now the Church has none of these qualities.
It could not happen because remember that our Blessed Lord lived in the midst of Authoritarianism.
The people among whom he moved were under the power of the Romans.
Furthermore all of the Pharisees were Authoritarian
So when our Lord founded his Church He made it a bulwark against all forms of Authoritarianism.
Notice how He even contrasted his Church and what would be likened to Communism. He said "You know that among the Gentiles those who bear rule lord it over them and great men vaunt their power over them. But with you it must be otherwise. And whoever has a mind to be first among you must be your slave."
