In 1937, Pope Pius XI published his encyclical Divini Redemptoris, On Atheistic Communism, to address one of the greatest threats to humanity, social stability and Christian civilization. The letter provides an excellent overview of Marxism-Communism.
It highlights its errors and brutal execution as the antithesis of our Catholic Faith and Natural Law that aims to subvert not just the economy and class relations, but also the bedrock institutions of the family, Church, state and all aspects of culture, by denying the dignity and rights of the individual person and his supernatural and eternal destiny as the Image of God with its materialistic conception of the world that puts the "collective" above all else, even over the rights of God and Man. As Pope Pius XI observed, to the destruction of all that is good, true and noble for the true flourishing of human society and faith.
