The Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, has done it again. This time, the paper published an article which says that Karl Marx's work is "especially relevant" today. Along with Marx's troubling economic theories, he is also famous for his comment that religion "is the opium of the people." Just a of couple years ago, Pope Benedict stated that, "The Marxist system, where it found its way into government, not only left a sad heritage of economic and ecological destruction, but also a painful destruction of the human spirit." This is just one more example of the "alarming problem" referred to earlier regarding recent articles appearing in the Vatican newspaper (previous story here).
