“Communism
begins at the moment conceit is attached; fists clench and rise as soon
as the ego is challenged; cheeks flush as soon as self-love is wounded,
and blood boils and flows at that split second when pride is humbled.
The anger is based on selfishness; he hates the rich not because he
loves the poor in spirit, but because he wants to be rich himself. Every
Communist is really a capitalist without any cash in his pockets.
Selfishness is the world’s greatest sin; that is why the world hates
those who hate it, why it is jealous of those who have more; why it is
envious of those who do more; why it dislikes those who refuse to
flatter, and why it scorns those who tell us the truth about ourselves;
its whole life is inspired by the egotistical, and the personal, and its
wrath is born of that self-love.”– Archbishop Fulton Sheen, The Cross
and the Beatitudes
