Wand of London and Norman B. Nash of Massachusetts was still more explicit: "Marxism, by an ironic paradox, is at some points nearer to Christian doctrine than any other philosophy in the field, and this makes its rivalry all the more formidable. It, too, is a 'heresy' of Christianity - a secularized form of the Christian hope, drawing some of its springs from the Bible and presenting something like a cari cature of [what] a Christian civilization stands for." This analysis permitted Lambeth to go beyond the Vatican's flat anti-Communist stand and concede that "in many...
...leftist phrase of world revolution. However, Trotsky himself degenerated . . . We think that Trotsky's political career is instructive. . . . We are disturbed by the present condition of the Yugoslav Communist Party . . . The Party cadres are under the control of the Minister of State Security.

...Centered. A social critic as well as a philosopher, Maritain applies Thomist principles to such contemporary phenomena as industrialism, modern art, anti-Semitism and communism. Aiming his attacks at both man-centered Marxism and capitalism, Maritain proposes a God-centered "Christian humanism." Says he: "God trains us through our disillusionments and mistakes to understand at last that we must believe only in Him and not in men, which places us in the proper position to marvel at ... all the good which [men] do in spite of themselves...
