Catholicism and socialism

The relationship between Catholicism and socialism has been debated by various experts and theologians over the years. While some argue for the incompatibility of the two, movements like liberation theology argue for the compatibility of them, and forms like Latin American Liberation Theology have synthesized Christian theology with Marxian socio-economic analysis. Others have also argued that the Church's historical opposition to socialism was mainly concerned with atheistic or state socialism, and not with more decentralized systems such as worker cooperatives.
