Anthony Esolen of Crisis Magazine has a thing or two to say about Catholic teaching and particularly how we Catholics seem to embrace only parts of it: In this series, I shall discuss exactly what Pope Leo XIII had to say, when the name of “socialism” first burst upon the ear, and apply it to current controversies and miseries. His words sting like the first antiseptics, carbolic acid and iodine. They sting, but they cleanse. Or perhaps we should prefer to lay honey to our wounds?
