ARE CHRISTIANITY and Capitalism Compatible? Well, yes. Capitalism, along with Christianity, assumes the sinfulness of men. Marxism/socialism/communism all assume the perfectibility of mankind. Perfectibility systems, no matter how noble in intent, end in mass death. [See Soviet Russia, National Socialist Germany, Red China, Kampuchea, Uganda, Jonestown.] They should send shudders to anyone who believes in free will, or free moral agency.
