Wojtyla on Marxism
The Tablet has an interesting article (registration req'd) on an early unpublished work by Karol Wojtyla criticizing, but not completely dismissing, Marxism. Over at dotCommonweal, John McGreevy asserts that the article:
points us to one answer to Mark Sargent’s query about Catholic liberalism and its future: Catholic liberalism as on display in Commonweal remains committed to engagement with the various political and intellectual traditions that swirl around us, not merely the preservation of Catholic thought from alien invaders. Engagement does not mean capitulation, although this is always one risk. Instead it means approaching the world a bit like the young Karol Wojtyla, ready to listen as well as to proclaim.
