Socialism & Communism and What the Church Teaches | Fr. Chris Alar, MIC

About this sermon

As our culture continues to redefine truth, where should Catholics stand? In this powerful homily, Fr. Chris Alar, MIC explains the Catholic Church's teaching on communism, socialism, human dignity, private property, and the role of the State in light of the Gospel. Drawing from Sacred Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the teachings of Popes Leo XIII and Pius XI, he reminds us that our ultimate hope and freedom come from God; not from any political ideology. Fr. Chris also addresses today's cultural challenges, the importance of defending objective moral truth, and why the Church teaches that authentic freedom, justice, and human dignity can only flourish when God remains at the heart of society. This homily is not about partisan politics; it is about the salvation of souls, the protection of religious freedom, and remaining faithful to Jesus Christ in a world that increasingly rejects His truth.
