Welcome to c/Christianity

"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.
-Óscar Romero

I am not particularly active as a Catholic, but I do think religion holds a close spot in my heart as well as (obviously) the lives of many millions of people.

Occasionally I see my fellow comrades posting their disdain for organized religion or for Christianity in general. While this bothers me, I recognize that many, MANY people have had incredibly traumatic experiences with religion and rightfully have few positives to say about it.

My questions are as such:

How can we be better comrades to our secular sibling-in-arms?

How would you (or we) reform religion and religious institutions if socialism were achieved worldwide?

How safe do you feel as a Christian in this space?

Do you identify as a Christian socialist? Why or why not? Is there an added responsibility or aspect to being a Christian socialist over being a secular socialist?

What do you do to (or want to do) represent the Christian faith in a better, Marxist-based light?

Last one, for funny; how would you make a Red Papacy lmao
